Data from Kepanjen Health Center in Malang Regency in 2017, especially in the Cempokomulyo village, shows that 5.3% of children under five suffer from severe malnutrition and 3.5% suffer from malnutrition. While in the Jatirejoyoso village shows that 3.4% of toddlers experience malnutrition. One of the factors that influence the incidence of malnutrition is the lack of access to care and information for mothers of infants and the lack of initiative and skills of posyandu cadres. The provision of information, motivation and skills needed by cadres and mothers of children under five are considered as one step in nutrition recovery. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers. Nutrition training was given to cadres and mothers of toddlers, namely measuring nutritional status, feeding infants and children, breastfeeding practices, detection of growth and development of nutrition recovery at the posyandu level. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in the knowledge of cadres and mothers of infants, at pretest 10% of knowledge is good and 5% of knowledge is lacking and at the time of posttest it is 85% of knowledge is good and 15% is sufficient. In addition, there was an increase in the skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers, at pretest 75% of their skills were sufficient and 25% of their skills were lacking and at posttest they were 90% of good skills and 10% were sufficient. Thus it can be concluded that there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers to be mostly good. Posyandu cadres and toddler mothers are expected to be able to carry out nutritional recovery at the follow-up phase at the posyandu level.

Abstrak

Pedagang asongan yang berjualan, mereka memilih menjadi pedagang asongan dengan alasan ekonomi, pendidikan, perekonomian keluarga, tidak adanya pekerjaan lain dan usia kerja. Pedagang asongan yaitu  pedagang  yang  menjual  barang  dagangan berupa  barang-barang  yang  ringan  dan mudah  dibawa  seperti  air mineral, koran, rokok, permen, tisu, dan lain-lain dan banyak kita jumpai di perempatan jalan di kota-kota, halte, terminal, di bus, kereta api, stasiun. Pedagang asongan sebagai salah satu pelaku aktivitas ekonomi di sektor informal turut menyumbangkan kontribusi besar bagi perekonomian nasional dengan menyerap tenaga kerja, mengurangi pengangguran dan kemiskinan, hal ini sesuai dengan sistem ekonomi syariah. Pedagang asongan sistem  jual-beli  barang  dagangan yang  terjadi  yakni penjualan secara serah terima langsung atau penjualan yang bersifat face to face. Mekanisme penetapan   harga yang dibuat   oleh   pedagang asongan adalah  dimana  mereka  menetapkan berapa  modal yang harus  dikeluarkan  untuk  mendapatkan  barang  yang akan didagangkan lagi, kemudian mehitung berapa biaya  yang dikelurkan untuk menuju lokasi berjualan serta setoran.  Namun sesuai prinsip ekonomi, jika barang banyak harga rendah, jika barang sedikit dan susah harga naik, teori ini disebut dengan teori inflasi. Maka penetapan harga oleh pedagang asongan sesuai kondisi perekonomian masyarakat pada saat itu. Bila dicermati diberbagai tempat adanya pedagang asongan transaki perdagangan pedagang asongan masih sesuai dengan prinsif ekonomi Syariah, kecuali segelintir orang yang tidak paham dengan Islam. Maka keberadaan pedagang asongan sangat berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan ekonomi Syariah di masyarakat. Jika dalam transaksinya selalu dibarengi dengan keadilan, kesetaraan dan amanah.

Authors: Rahmat Rahmat
Published: August 2019

Islamic Education (PAI) in Higher Education is a subject that has received a lot of criticism from various circles because PAI which is also referred to as a scientific discipline is only like discussing halal and haram laws and the prospect of discussion is only memorizing doctrinal propositions. On the other hand, PAI is then required to be friendly with social behavior and sensitive to the development of information and technology in this era 4.0. With descriptive qualitative research methods (library research) researchers try to examine and look deeper into Interdisciplinary Insightful Islamic Education for students as a feature and solution to the Era 4.0 Education. The results of this study obtained that the interdisciplinary approach that the researchers offer is to use the disciplines of Arabic, English, Information, and Technology (IT), Accounting and Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah (ASWAJA). With these 5 scientific disciplines, the Interdisciplinary PAI will be able to become the style and solution of the Islamic Education Era 4.0.

As a result of ineffectiveness of the suppressor unit onset and growth of CEC concentrations, some immunoglobulins and autoantibodies took place. The physiological importance of human's cell-mediated cytotoxicity is defined in the reactions of immune homeostasis, not only in pathology and vaccination, but in the period of adaptation to changing environmental conditions among residents living in extreme climatic and ecological conditions, special living conditions, particularly in the Polar region. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity provides homeostasis of activation and suppression processes of immune responses in surveyed depending on the concentration ratio of cell activator (CD71+, HLA-DR+), differentiated CD3+ and cytotoxic cells (CD8+, CD16+), age, and professional life conditions. All abovementioned has identified the necessity to assess the physiological role of cytotoxic cells in the mechanism of immune response in healthy persons in the European North of Russia. The results and their comparison with the few published data allow to conside that the cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD8+, CD16+) determine cell-mediated cytotoxic activity in the immune homeostasis in individuals of polar regions.

Authors: Pazukhina S V
Published: August 2019

The article considers results of empirical research which purpose was to study the future teachers' ecological consciousness in the ascertaining stage of experiment. Analysis of the results was carried out on a number of criteria: motivational, cognitive, and emotional. The orientation of the future teachers on the educational and disciplinary or personal model of interaction with schoolchildren is regarded as the main indicator of ecological consciousness on motivational criterion. An indicator of cognitive criterion is knowledge about student's personality as a biopsychosocial subject and laws of its development. Emotional criterion is studied by identifying the level of empathy and prevailing empathy channels. Standardized psychological techniques meeting the requirements for necessary quality indicators of tests are used for the diagnosis of each of the criteria: for motivational one - test-questionnaire by V.G. Maralova "Diagnosis of teachers' orientation on disciplinary training or personal model of interaction with children"; for cognitive one - test-questionnaire "Studying of I-Concept as justification of the influence on another person" (by A.G. Abramova); for emotional one - technique for diagnosing the level of empathic abilities of V.V. Boyko. Manifestations of ecological consciousness in action (behaviour) of the future teachers are traced by monitoring the system used by students during internship of professional activities and skills that reflect the particular model of the interaction with the students. Two learning groups of junior undergraduates make up the study sample. The obtained results allow to state that 1/3 of surveyed have a low level of environmental compatibility of pedagogical consciousness, half of the respondents - an average one and the remaining part - above average level. The lack of significant differences in the studied parameters between the experimental and control groups was revealed using the Student's t-test and Wilcoxon - Mann - Whitney U-test. Based on the results obtained in the course of ascertaining stage, the conclusion about the necessity of a special work performance to improve the level of future teachers' ecological consciousness development was made.

De Brez, Trento al mineral de Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, México. Redes transnacionales de mineros italianos
Authors: Zueck González Silvia Leticia
Published: August 2019

This paper examines the migration flow of a community of farmers from Brez, Trentino – at the time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire – that headed to Sierra Mojada in Coahuila to work as miners. It describes the political and cultural characteristics of the receiving country, the Italian settlers, and the transnational geographic spaces they had to cross. Numerically the miners are only a small fraction of the total emigration from northern Italy to Mexico, yet the microhistorical Italian perspective makes it possible to frame them within international migratory movements. The study found consistent connections between migrants’ city of origin and adopted city, and identified the importance of networks of family members and friends for support for subsequent migration flows. Those who returned as a result of World War I – as subjects of the Kingdom of Italy – continued to work as miners in different locations, making them difficult to trace.

Published: August 2019

Peri-Myocardial Infarction Pericarditis (PMIP), or epistenocardiac pericarditis, has been considered a relatively benign condition occurring within a few days after Myocardial Infarction (MI). Although the condition usually does not require specific treatment, the finding of a pericardial friction rub in the post-MI patient does prompt a careful review of post-MI symptoms and test results, including dysrhythmia recordings, Electro-Cardio Grams (EKG), and the Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) to exclude potentially life threatening post-MI mechanical complications such as free wall rupture. The auscultatory findings of a pericardial rub often represent a teaching opportunity for house staff and students, yet given the self-limited course of PMIP, very little is known regarding the mechanism, biology, imaging findings, and management strategy in patients with and without symptoms. We review the current understanding of PMIP for clinicians caring for post-MI patients.

Published: August 2019

Analyzing the structure of a social network helps in gaining insights into interactions and relationships among users while revealing the patterns of their online behavior. Network centrality is a metric of importance of a network node in a network, which allows revealing the structural patterns and morphology of networks. We propose a distributed computing approach for the calculation of network centrality value for each user using the MapReduce approach in the Hadoop platform, which allows faster and more efficient computation as compared to the conventional implementation. A distributed approach is scalable and helps in efficient computations of large-scale datasets, such as social network data. The proposed approach improves the calculation performance of degree centrality by 39.8%, closeness centrality by 40.7% and eigenvalue centrality by 41.1% using a Twitter dataset.
PerTract: Model Extraction and Specification of Big Data Systems for Performance Prediction by the Example of Apache Spark and Hadoop
Authors: Kroß Johannes , Krcmar Helmut
Published: August 2019

Evaluating and predicting the performance of big data applications are required to efficiently size capacities and manage operations. Gaining profound insights into the system architecture, dependencies of components, resource demands, and configurations cause difficulties to engineers. To address these challenges, this paper presents an approach to automatically extract and transform system specifications to predict the performance of applications. It consists of three components. First, a system-and tool-agnostic domain-specific language (DSL) allows the modeling of performance-relevant factors of big data applications, computing resources, and data workload. Second, DSL instances are automatically extracted from monitored measurements of Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop (i.e., YARN and HDFS) systems. Third, these instances are transformed to model- and simulation-based performance evaluation tools to allow predictions. By adapting DSL instances, our approach enables engineers to predict the performance of applications for different scenarios such as changing data input and resources. We evaluate our approach by predicting the performance of linear regression and random forest applications of the HiBench benchmark suite. Simulation results of adjusted DSL instances compared to measurement results show accurate predictions errors below 15% based upon averages for response times and resource utilization.

Published: August 2019

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and cause of cancer deaths worldwide, owing to the dismal prognosis for most affected patients. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted in chromosome 10 (PTEN) acts as a powerful tumor suppressor gene and even partial reduction of its levels increases cancer susceptibility. While the most validated anti-oncogenic duty of PTEN is the negative regulation of the PI3K/mTOR/Akt oncogenic signaling pathway, further tumor suppressor functions, such as chromosomal integrity and DNA repair have been reported. PTEN protein loss is a frequent event in lung cancer, but genetic alterations are not equally detected. It has been demonstrated that its expression is regulated at multiple genetic and epigenetic levels and deeper delineation of these mechanisms might provide fertile ground for upgrading lung cancer therapeutics. Today, PTEN expression is usually determined by immunohistochemistry and low protein levels have been associated with decreased survival in lung cancer. Moreover, available data involve PTEN mutations and loss of activity with resistance to targeted treatments and immunotherapy. This review discusses the current knowledge about PTEN status in lung cancer, highlighting the prevalence of its alterations in the disease, the regulatory mechanisms and the implications of PTEN on available treatment options.
Fracture Strength Evaluation of Agglomerates of Fatty Acid-Coated CaCO3 Nanoparticles by Nano-Indentation
Authors: Kezuka Yuki , Tajika Masahiko
Published: August 2019

Nanoparticles often form agglomerates during their manufacturing process. When nanoparticles form agglomerates, their inherent properties cannot be fully exploited. In this study, we attempted to establish a conventional method to evaluate the fracture strength of agglomerates into smaller parts. We used a commercially available nano-indentation instrument with a flat indenter tip. We chose calcium carbonate nanoparticles with stearic acid coatings as model materials. It was found that the more fatty acid that is coated on the particle surface, the stronger the agglomerates become. The technique we propose in this study can be used to rapidly evaluate the fracture strength of nanoparticle agglomerates.
Continuous Generation of Millimeter-Sized Glycine Crystals in Non-Seeded Millifluidic Slug Flow
Authors: Mou Mingyao , Li Huayu , Yang Bing-Shiou , Jiang Mo
Published: August 2019

Millimeter-sized α-glycine crystals were generated from continuous non-seeded cooling crystallization in slug flow. The crystallization process is composed of three steps in sequence: slug formation, crash-cooling nucleation, and growth. Stable uniform slugs of three different aspect ratios (slug length/tubing inner diameter) were formed, by adjusting the flow rates of both the solution and air streams. Besides supersaturation, the slug aspect ratio can also affect primary nucleation outcome. Stable slug flow can accommodate a relative supersaturation (C/C*) of up to 1.5 without secondary nucleation. Large glycine crystals can grow to millimeter size within 10 min, inside millimeter-sized slugs without reducing the slug quality.
Wind Turbine Wake Modeling in Accelerating Wind Field: A Preliminary Study on a Two-Dimensional Hill
Authors: Ibrahim Omar M. A. M. , Yoshida Shigeo , Hamasaki Masahiro , Takada Ao
Published: August 2019

Complex terrain can influence wind turbine wakes and wind speed profiles in a wind farm. Consequently, predicting the performance of wind turbines and energy production over complex terrain is more difficult than it is over flat terrain. In this preliminary study, an engineering wake model, that considers acceleration on a two-dimensional hill, was developed based on the momentum theory. The model consists of the wake width and wake wind speed. The equation to calculate the rotor thrust, which is calculated by the wake wind speed profiles, was also formulated. Then, a wind-tunnel test was performed in simple flow conditions in order to investigate wake development over a two-dimensional hill. After this the wake model was compared with the wind-tunnel test, and the results obtained by using the new wake model were close to the wind-tunnel test results. Using the new wake model, it was possible to estimate the wake shrinkage in an accelerating two-dimensional wind field.
Combined Methodologies for the Survey and Documentation of Historical Buildings: The Castle of Scalea (CS, Italy)
Authors: Donato Eugenio , Giuffrida Dario
Published: August 2019

In the last few years, new technologies have become indispensable tools for specialists in the field of cultural heritage for the analysis, reconstruction and interpretation of data but also for promotion of artefacts or buildings sometimes inaccessible or in a bad state of conservation. The discipline of geomatics offer many opportunities and solutions for integrated digital surveys and the documentation of heritage (point-based methods, image-based photogrammetry and their combination): These data can be processed in order to derive metric information and share them using databases or GIS (geographic information system) tools. This paper is focused on the description of combined survey methodologies adopted for the geometric and architectural documentation of the site and surviving structures of the Castel of Scalea (Cosenza, Italy). It is a typical context where traditional survey procedures do not fully succeed or require a longer amount of time and great effort if a high level of accuracy is requested: For this reason, aerial close-range digital photogrammetry enhanced by the GNSS (global navigation satellite system), and total station positioning systems have been used at various levels of detail for the production of a detailed 3D model and 2D thematic maps with an excellent level of in the positioning of the structures and in the architectural drawing. Thanks to the collected dataset, it was possible to better identify the building units (CF), to digitize the limits of the masonry stratigraphic units (USM), and to draw up a first constructive diachronic sequence hypothesis on which to base chronology. Moreover, some particular masonry techniques have been sampled and compared at the regional level with the aim to better dating of constructive expedients. It was finally demonstrated how the use of integrated methodologies allows us to obtain a complete and detailed documentation including information regarding not only architectural and geometrical features but also archaeological and historical elements, building materials and decay evidences—all useful as support of the interpretation of data.

Chronic joint pain is associated to an increase in the consumption of medication and decrease in life quality in elderly people, which requires developing non-pharmacological treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectivity of a group intervention, based on animal-assisted therapy and applied to elderly people with chronic joint pain and polymedication, regarding the decrease of chronic pain, use of analgesics and improvement of life quality. A randomized controlled trial, two arms and open-label was conducted in a Primary Health Center. Twelve weekly sessions of kinesitherapy; in the EG, these exercises were performed with the additional assistance of the therapy dog. A total of 52 participants (22 Control Group (CG), 30 EG), average age 77.50 (±7.3), women 90.4%. A significant reduction on post-intervention values of pain β = −0.67(−1.27, −0.08), p = 0.03 and pain induced insomnia β = −0.53(−1.01, −0.05), p = 0.03 was found in EG for increasing baseline values. Animal-assisted therapy leads to an additional reduction in the perception of pain and pain induced insomnia in individuals with higher baseline severity. The presence of the dog improves the attachment to intervention and the satisfaction of the participants.

Published: August 2019

Live-stream suicide has become an emerging public health problem in many countries. Regular users are often the first to witness and respond to such suicides, emphasizing their impact on the success of crisis intervention. In order to reduce the likelihood of suicide deaths, this paper aims to use psycholinguistic analysis methods to facilitate automatic detection of negative expressions in responses to live-stream suicides on social media. In this paper, a total of 7212 comments posted on suicide-related messages were collected and analyzed. First, a content analysis was performed to investigate the nature of each comment (negative or not). Second, the simplified Chinese version of the LIWC software was used to extract 75 psycholinguistic features from each comment. Third, based on 19 selected key features, four classification models were established to differentiate between comments with and without negative expressions. Results showed that 19.55% of 7212 comments were recognized as “making negative responses”. Among the four classification models, the highest values of Precision, Recall, F-Measure, and Screening Efficacy reached 69.8%, 85.9%, 72.9%, and 47.1%, respectively. This paper confirms the need for campaigns to reduce negative responses to live-stream suicides and support the use of psycholinguistic analysis methods to improve suicide prevention efforts.
Metals in Occluded Water: A New Perspective for Pollution in Drinking Water Distribution Systems
Authors: Tong Huiyan , Li Zhongyue , Hu Xingshuai , Xu Weiping , Li Zhengkun
Published: August 2019

Occluded water is water that remains inside corrosion scales within deteriorating distribution pipes. The accumulation of iron and manganese in the occluded water is a potential risk for water quality. Thus, this study investigated the change in metal (iron, manganese, copper and chromium) concentration in occluded water, the effect of these metals on the flowing water, and the source of iron and manganese in the occluded water using a simulation device. The results showed that total iron and total manganese were enriched in the occluded water, while the concentrations of total copper and total chromium in the occluded water gradually decreased over time. The iron and manganese in the occluded water migrate to the flowing water causing pollution in the flowing water. Also, copper and chromium adsorb on the corrosion scales within the pipes. The iron and manganese in the occluded water mainly came from the corrosion of the metal pipes, and the corrosion scales had a certain obstructive effect on the outward migration of iron in the occluded water but had less hindrance to the migration of manganese. Occluded water plays a critical role in the pollution of drinking water, and additional work is needed to control metal accumulation and release.
Comfort and Time-Based Walkability Index Design: A GIS-Based Proposal
Authors: Al Shammas Tarek , Escobar Francisco
Published: August 2019

Encouraging people to walk as a means of transport throughout their daily lives has obvious benefits for the environment, the economy, and personal health. Specific features of the built environment have a significant influence on encouraging or discouraging walking. By identifying and quantifying these features we can design Walkability Indices (WI). The WI in the literature do not take factors related to comfort such as noise pollution and shade/sun conditions into account. Given the importance of these factors in walking, we decided to include them in our design of a new geographic information system (GIS)-based WI. The relative weight of each factor was determined by consulting experts. The proposed WI, computed for the entire city of Madrid, Spain, uses sections of the sidewalk as the spatial unit. The properties of this WI (based on secondary sources, spatially detailed, dynamic, weighted, and including comfort-related factors) fill a gap in previous WI proposals.
Use of Simple Telemetry to Reduce the Health Impacts of Fuel Poverty and Living in Cold Homes
Authors: Pollard Adam , Jones Tim , Sherratt Stephen , Sharpe Richard A.
Published: August 2019

Introduction: In Great Britain, roughly half of people with at least one long-standing illness (LSI) live in low-income households. Lower-income households are at risk of fuel poverty and living in a colder house, which can worsen certain health conditions, causing related morbidity and mortality. This pilot study aimed to assess whether raising occupants’ awareness of indoor temperatures in the home could initiate improved health and well-being among such vulnerable residents. Methods: Thermometers were placed inside a manufactured bamboo brooch to be worn or placed within homes during the winter of 2016/17. These devices were supplied to households (n = 34) already assisted by Community Energy Plus, which is a private social enterprise in Cornwall, United Kingdom (UK), using initiatives aimed at maintaining “healthy homes”. Questionnaires were supplied to households before devices were supplied, and then again at the end of a three-month period, with further questions asked when devices were collected. Temperatures were recorded automatically every half-hour and used to draw inference from questionnaire responses, particularly around health and well-being. Results: Questionnaires were completed by 22 households. Throughout the winter, those declaring the poorest health when supplied with devices maintained homes at a higher average temperature. There were also indications that those with raised awareness of interior temperatures sought fewer casual medicines. Conclusion: Simple telemetry could play a role in the management of chronic health conditions in winter, helping healthcare systems become more sustainable. The need for higher indoor temperatures among people with an LSI highlights the need to consider this approach alongside more sustainable household energy-efficiency improvements. A larger study is needed to explore this further and quantify the cost benefit of this approach.

Published: August 2019

The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of 3D printing parameters on fit and internal gap of 3D printed resin dental prosthesis. The dental model was simulated and fabricated for three-unit prostheses with two implants. One hundred prostheses were 3D printed with two-layer thicknesses for five build orientations using a resin (NextDent C&B; 3D systems, Soesterberg, The Netherlands) and ten prostheses were manufactured with a milling resin as control. The prostheses were seated and scanned with micro-CT (computerized tomography). Internal gap volume (IGV) was calculated from 3D reconstructed micro-CT data. IGV, marginal fit, and lengths of internal gaps were measured, and the values were analyzed statistically. For the 3D printed prostheses, IGV was smaller at 45°, 60°, and 90° compared to other build orientations. The marginal fit evaluated by absolute marginal discrepancy was smaller than other build orientations at 45° and 60°. IGV was smaller at 50 µm layer thickness than at 100 µm layer thickness, but the marginal fit was smaller at 100 µm layer thickness than at 50 µm layer thickness. The 3D printed prosthesis had smaller internal gap than the milled prosthesis. The marginal fit of the 3D printed resin prosthesis was clinically acceptable, and build orientation of 45° and 60° would be recommended when considering fit and internal gap.
Progress in Nanoporous Templates: Beyond Anodic Aluminum Oxide and Towards Functional Complex Materials
Authors: Zhou Zimu , Nonnenmann Stephen S.
Published: August 2019

Successful synthesis of ordered porous, multi-component complex materials requires a series of coordinated processes, typically including fabrication of a master template, deposition of materials within the pores to form a negative structure, and a third deposition or etching process to create the final, functional template. Translating the utility and the simplicity of the ordered nanoporous geometry of binary oxide templates to those comprising complex functional oxides used in energy, electronic, and biology applications has been met with numerous critical challenges. This review surveys the current state of commonly used complex material nanoporous template synthesis techniques derived from the base anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) geometry.

Authors: Han Sen , Cheng Xianpeng , Liu Yamin , Zhang Yacai
Published: August 2019

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the applications of recycled mixtures with a high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content. However, many government departments are hesitant about the applications of that due to being worried about the durability of its pavement, and few findings has been reported in terms of the percentage of fine reclaimed asphalt pavement (FRAP, 0~5 mm) in recycled mixtures. In this paper, 25% or more RAP by the weight of aggregates is defined as high RAP and high FRAP refers to 10% or more FRAP by the weight of aggregates. This paper examines the laboratory performances of mixtures with high RAP (30%, 40%, and 50%) and FRAP (10%, 15%, and 20%). Performance evaluations have been conducted by conventional tests, including the low-temperature bending test, fatigue test, and the moisture susceptibility test. The results show that with the increasing RAP and FARP contents, 41% (30-R-10) to 63% (50-R-15) of virgin asphalt can be saved, both the low-temperature and fatigue performance decrease, and the moisture performance firstly increases and then decreases. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) in terms of low-temperature and moisture performance show that RAP contents in recycled mixtures have a significant effect on the performance, while the effect of FRAP contents on the performance of recycled mixtures is insignificant.

Entangled metallic wire material (EMWM) is a kind of porous damping material. To promote the engineering application of EMWM, it is necessary to establish the constitutive model of EMWM to estimate its mechanical properties. In this paper, a series of quasi-static compression experiments for plate-like EMWM specimens made of austenitic stainless steel wire (06Cr19Ni10) with different densities were carried out in the temperature range of 20–500 °C. It was found that the stiffness of the plate-like EMWM would increase with the increases in the ambient temperature. The non-linear characteristics of the force–displacement curve of the plate-like EMWM would be weakened. Taking the spatial structural characteristics of the plate-like EMWM and the influence of the thermal expansion of the structure into account, a new constitutive model for plate-like EMWM was presented by the combination of the Johnson–Cook model and the Sherwood–Frost constitutive framework model. The accuracy of the model was verified by the experimental data under different temperatures. The results show that the calculated results of the model are consistent with the experimental results. This model can provide an effective theoretical basis for predicting the mechanical properties of plate-like EMWM and guiding its design.

The martensitic transformation and superelasticity of Ti49Ni51 shape memory alloy heat-treatment at different temperatures were investigated. The experimental results show that the microstructures of as-cast and heat-treated (723 K) Ni-rich Ti49Ni51 samples prepared by rapidly-solidified technology are composed of B2 TiNi phase, and Ti3Ni4 and Ti2Ni phases; the microstructures of heat-treated Ti49Ni51 samples at 773 and 823 K are composed of B2 TiNi phase, and of B2 TiNi and Ti2Ni phases, respectively. The martensitic transformation of as-cast Ti49Ni51 alloy is three-stage, A→R→M1 and R→M2 transformation during cooling, and two-stage, M→R→A transformation during heating. The transformations of the heat-treated Ti49Ni51 samples at 723 and 823 K are the A↔R↔M/A↔M transformation during cooling/heating, respectively. For the heat-treated alloy at 773 K, the transformations are the A→R/M→R→A during cooling/heating, respectively. For the heat-treated alloy at 773 K, only a small thermal hysteresis is suitable for sensor devices. The stable σmax values of 723 and 773 K heat-treated samples with a large Wd value exhibit high safety in application. The 773 and 823 K heat-treated samples have large stable strain–energy densities, and are a good superelastic alloy. The experimental data obtained provide a valuable reference for the industrial application of rapidly-solidified casting and heat-treated Ti49Ni51 alloy.

Small specimen test techniques (SSTT) are highly demanded in the nuclear field. In the present work, SSTT was applied to the creep tests of 15-15Ti austenitic steel. The creep behaviors of specimens with miniaturized and standard sizes were contrastively studied. The feasibility of SSTT is verified after tests under more than 20 creep conditions. The results that were obtained by miniaturized specimens are relatively conservative and they can be securely applied. The stress exponent and apparent activation creep energy of 15-15Ti are calculated as 7.7 and 428 kJ/mol, respectively. The creep microstructures are characterized by the evolution of dislocations, deformation twins, and precipitates.

The areas of Central and Eastern Europe and, thus, Poland are not exposed to the effects of seismic actions. Any possible tremors can be caused by coal or copper mining. Wind, rheological effects, the impact of other objects, or a nonuniform substrate are the predominant types of loading included in the calculations for stiffening walls. The majority of buildings in Poland, as in most other European countries, are low, medium-high brick buildings. Some traditional materials, like solid brick (>10% of construction materials market) are still used, but autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) and cement-sand calcium-silicate (Ca-Si) elements with thin joints are prevailing (>70% of the market) on the Polish market. Adding reinforcement only to bed joints in a wall is a satisfactory solution (in addition to confining) for seismic actions occurring in Poland that improves ULS (ultimate limit state) and SLS (serviceability limit state). This paper presents results from our own tests on testing horizontal shear walls without reinforcement and with different types of reinforcement. This discussion includes 51 walls made of solid brick (CB) reinforced with steel bars and steel trusses and results from tests on 15 walls made of calcium-silicate (Ca-Si) and AAC masonry units reinforced with steel trusses and plastic meshes. Taking into account our own tests and those conducted by other authors, empirical relationships were determined on the basis of more than 90 walls. They are applicable to the design and construction phases to determine the likely effect of reinforcements on cracking stress that damage shear deformation and wall stiffness.

Microwave energy can be advantageously used for materials processing as it provides high heating rates and homogeneous temperature field distribution. These features are partly due to the large microwave penetration depth into dielectric materials which is, at room temperature, a few centimeters in most dielectric materials. However, up to now, this technology is not widely spread for high-temperature material processing applications (>1200 °C), because its reproducibly and ability to sinter large size samples (>30 cm3) still needs to be improved. In this context, this paper describes both an empirically designed 915 MHz single-mode cavity made from SiC susceptors and refractory thermal insulation, and the 3D modeling of the process in order to improve our understanding of it. Different susceptors geometries and coupling slit position were numerically tested in order to better understand how these parameters impact the field homogeneity and the process stability. It was found that positioning the largest surface of the susceptors parallel to the electrical field allows a very uniform and hybrid heating of the material, while avoiding plasma or thermal instabilities. This was correlated to the 3D modeling results. Finally, thanks to a fully-automatized system this apparatus was used to sinter large size (~30 cm3) low-loss dielectric alumina samples. The sintered materials were subsequently characterized in terms of density, grain size distribution, and homogeneity. The reproducibility was also discussed, demonstrating the process efficiency and reliability.

The Semi-Flexible Water Retaining Pavement (SFWRP) has the capability to cool down the temperature of the road surface through its evaporation behavior, including absorbing and evaporating water; this is an efficient approach to relieve the heat island effect in a big city. The temperature feedback from different material surface were investigated in this paper in the same test condition, it has been proved that the SFWRP material can remarkably cool down the temperature of the road surface. The mechanism of the material evaporation behavior, including flux calculation formula of the water vapor inside the air void, were studied by inter-phase continuous function, in which the structural properties of the SFWRP material was taken into account. Furthermore, the function calculating the evaporation of the water vapor was then developed in this research through heat and mass transfer analogy. Besides, the calculating results can be captured by the self-coding program in Finite Element Modeling (FEM) for water evaporation simulation. Also, the results of laboratory tests were adopted to validate the calculating model. Finally, it has been proved that the mortar was recommended to be used in semi-flexible water retaining pavement to serve as material with permeable and water retaining property, and the semi-flexible water retaining pavement material is recommended to applied in the surface layer of the permeable pavement.
