As praelocutiones de Geórgicas III e De re rustica VI: comentário comparativo
Authors: Trevizam Matheus
Published: October 2017

Neste artigo, depois de introduzirmos questões vinculadas à pertença de gênero das Geórgicas de Virgílio e do De re rustica de Columela, passamos a abordar comparativamente aspectos da estruturação dos proêmios do livro III da primeira obra e do livro VI da segunda. Assim, esperamos demonstrar que divergências em pontos como o número de subdivisões de cada proêmio, suas funções e a inserção do todo dessas partes textuais típicas no início de cada um dos livros que introduzem impedem-nos de falar em uma exata coincidência de conformação entre ambos.
Ekphrasis, Digression and Elegy: The Propertius’ Second Book
Authors: Martins Paulo
Published: October 2017

Desde a edição de Lachmann (1816), houve muitas discussões sobre a extensão do segundo livro de elegias de Propércio. Basicamente observamos, hoje em dia, duas tendências a este respeito: uma que entende que as elegias de Propércio devem ser divididas apenas em quatro livros; e outra, menos conservadora, que argumenta ser o segundo livro muito extenso e, por esse motivo, seria uma fusão de dois livros, o 2A e o 2B. Neste artigo, apoio o pressuposto da divisão do Livro 2 em dois livros, argumentando que a tese de Lyne (1998a) é muito apropriada. Entendo que as elegias nos Livros 1 e 2 são marcadas por uma narração a persona, Cynthia. Considero a elegia inicial do Livro de Propécio 2B, 2.12, como uma digestão, que recapitula o tema central dos dois primeiros livros e apresenta um programa poético mais amplo do que o apresentado nas elegias anteriores. Além disso, pretendo observar as características ecfrástica desta digressão para apoiar a tese de Lyne, adicionando, dessa maneira, um novo argumento. Assim, 2.12, além de ser uma elegia programática, também é uma peça deveras inovadora em termos de argumentação, uma vez que apresenta dois mecanismos retóricos: digressio e ékphrasis.
GASTRONOMIA SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Campolina Rosilene Lima , Machado Lucília Regina de Souza
Published: October 2017

A matriz tecnológica da sustentabilidade gastronômica, particularmente o movimento conhecido como ecogastronomia, tem agregado importantes contribuições às práticas de desenvolvimento local. Este artigo recupera elementos constitutivos dessa temática para abordar o perfil e a formação do tecnólogo em Gastronomia. Para tanto, recorreu à revisão de literatura. Reitera a importância da gastronomia sustentável para o turismo culinário e o desenvolvimento local, compreendendo a preservação sociocultural de identidades regionais e de comunidades, assim como de seus produtos e processos culinários. Com especificidade, aspectos culturais, econômicos e sociais, independentemente dos espaços institucionais e organizacionais, precisam ser considerados de forma integrada. Eles dizem respeito a todas as fases da produção culinária (concepção, planejamento, gerenciamento e operacionalização), domínios da atividade do tecnólogo em Gastronomia. O artigo conclui que o gastrônomo comprometido com tal perspectiva precisa interagir e integrar contribuições de diferentes disciplinas, culturas e setores. Como consequência, sua formação profissional precisa se pautar e se beneficiar das práticas da interdisciplinaridade, interculturalidade e intersetorialidade, um importante e complexo desafio pedagógico.

Sarajevo: Politics and Cultures of Remembrance and Ignorance
Authors: Isanović Adla
Published: October 2017

This text critically reflects on cultural events organized to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War in Sarajevo and Bosnia & Herzegovina. It elaborates on disputes which showed that culture is in the centre of identity politics and struggles (which can also take a fascist nationalist form, accept the colonizer’s perspective, etc.), on how commemorations ‘swallowed’ the past and present, but primarily contextualizes, historicizes and politicizes Sarajevo 2014 and its politics of visibility. This case is approached as an example and symptomatic of the effects of the current state of capitalism, coloniality, racialization and subjugation, as central to Europe today.

The Construction of the Other: (Re)producing Bare Life
Authors: Leban Sebastjan
Published: October 2017

This paper proposes a critical reading of the formation of the Other within capitalism and coloniality. Through an analysis of the master/slave relation, the master/slave dialectic and bare life/sovereignty, the research intends to prove that the construction of the Other is essential for the construction of Western hegemony. In the first part, we are presented with the construction of the Other within Aristotle’s master/slave relation that is in the second part related to the master/slave dialectic and racial classification. The paper concludes with a critical reflection on Agamben's term homo sacer and gives a short overview of its possible reinvention. The analysis provides an understanding of the construction of the Other in the current state of exception and seems to be crucial in a time where processes of oppression, dispossession and segregation executed upon the Other are increasing.
Public Space and a Knot of Visibility: Genders and Sexualities Exposed
Authors: Milanović Aleksa
Published: October 2017

The notion of visibility and visible appears concentrated around a specific knot, which includes the complexity of an intersection of a presence and visibility. In other words, in order for a visibility to be achieved, the simple presence should be underlined by a specific function, a place that marks its relation to the sociocultural system it exists in. In the cases of gender and sexual minority identities the question of public space and visibility becomes crucial, since minorities are being exposed as otherness in relation to the dominant, heteropatriarchal system that labels them as such. This paper works with the issues of problematic visibilities, using the Pride parade in Belgrade 2009 as a case study, which is directly related to gender and sexual identity positions within the dominant majority-governed system.
Critical Phenomenology: Borderline Between Grey, Opaque and Non-Transparent Zones – Permanent Transitional Times
Authors: Šuvaković Miško
Published: October 2017

In what follows, I will point to theorisations of diagramatic modular models of the human, social and cultural practices that relate to antagonistic and certainly turbulent processing of production and reproduction, political economy, real life, and forms of life in the field of contemporary non-transparent or gray sociality. My main thesis is that the transition has not been completed and that we are now in the midst of transition changes throughout the world – that contemporary media and art fictionalizes or defictionalizes our human condition. My intent in this article is to point to the modular complexity of contemporary phenomena in relation to the criteria of the politics of time (dialectic historicisation) and politics of space (geographic difference). In relation to every contemporaneity that has occurred or is occurring at different times and in different places, contemporary art and culture required different conceptualisations of ‘modernisation’ and different conceptualisations of a critical response to the transition of global/local practices from the margins of society to its hegemonic centre, both internationally and locally. In an epistemological/methodological sense I intend to develop critical phenomenology. Critical phenomenology is a project of the politicization/radicalization of conservative phenomenological thinking.

Theory of Queer Identities: Representation in Contemporary East-European Art and Culture
Authors: Kesić Saša
Published: October 2017

Starting from the general theory of identity, gender theory, queer theory and theory of bio/necropolitics, as theoretical platforms, in a few case studies I will analyze the Pride Parade as a form of manifestation of gender body and queer body representations in visual arts, and gender and queer body representations in mass media. My hypothesis is that the key for understanding the chosen case studies is in understanding the relation between their aesthetics, political and social interventions. This will consider political involvement, social injustice, alienation, stereotypes on which ideological manipulations are based etc., as well as the creative strategies used for moving the borders of visual art in searching for authentically-performed creative expressions and engagements. In the time we live it is necessary for the politicization of art to use queer tactics, which work as political strategies of subversion of every stable structure of power. Queer tactics, in my opinion, are weapons in disturbance of the stable social mechanisms, which every power tries to establish and perform over any ‘mass’, in order to transform it to race, gender, tribe, nation or class.
Beyond Sovereignty and Particularism: for a Truly Universalist Feminism
Authors: Čičigoj Katja
Published: October 2017

Intersectional understandings of identities as traversed by diverse forms of oppression have brought to light also the ways commitments to contesting these forms of oppression might come into conflict. A salient form of conflicting intersectionality is the apparent conflict between feminist and anti-racist or anti-colonial commitments today. By offering a materialist rereading of Simone de Beauvoir’s understanding of oppression and emancipation against her postcolonial critics, I argue that instead of a particularistic one, a universalist and egalitarian account of conflicting intersectionality is required today – an account which is however fully aware of the historical nature of the universal itself. Such an account may allow us to keep condemning all forms of oppression, with Beauvoir’s words, as an “absolute evil”.
Punk as a Strategy for Body Politicization in the Ljubljana Alternative Scene of the 1980s
Authors: Založnik Jasmina
Published: October 2017

The paper focuses on the notion of punk understood as a political position and as a strategy by the actors of the Ljubljana alternative scene in the 1980s. With exposing the minor, invisible and hidden subjectivities the actors and agents of the scene created a ground for experimentation with subjectivities, but also for shaking the Yugoslav Grand National narrative of ‘brotherhood and unity’.

I am emphasizing mainly the notion of the body with and through the code of sex and sexuality, being still a base and the core investment of the government. No matter that the discourse has been radically changed, the procedures and protocols of power investments in their core have not. This is an additional reason and a need to recall the past and tackle the bodies that have appeared as unwanted, as ‘not right and not quiet’ identities in the past in order to evaluate and compare the position of the marginalized and suppressed today. Additionally, I am claiming that only with creating different genealogies can we fight against growing ‘intellectual redundancy’ and the continuous process of erasure of the subjectivities, which we are confronting today.

Power, Knowledge, and Epistemic Delinking
Authors: Stojnić Aneta
Published: October 2017

In this paper I shall argue that radical epistemic delinking has a key role in liberation from the Colonial Matrix of Power as well as the change in the existing global power relations which are based in the colonialism and maintained through exploitation, expropriation and construction of the (racial) Other. Those power relations render certain bodies and spaces as (epistemologically) irrelevant. In order to discuss possible models of struggle against such condition, firstly I have addressed the relation between de-colonial theories and postcolonial studies, arguing that decolonial positions are both historicising and re-politicising the postcolonial theory. In my central argument I have focused on the epistemic delinking and political implications of decolonial turn. With reference to Grada Killomba I have argued for the struggle against epistemic violence through decolonising knowledge. Decolonising knowledge requires delinking form Eurocentric model of knowledge production and radical dismantling the existing hierarchies among different knowledge. It requires recognition of the ‘Other epistemologies’ and ‘Other knowledge’ as well as liberation from Western disciplinary and methodological limitations. One of the main goals of decolonial project is deinking from the Colonial Matrix of Power. However, delinking is not required only in the areas of economy and politics but also in the field of epistemology.
Initial Recognition Results of Species Composition and Characteristics of Harmful Organisms at My Son Sanctuary Heritage Area
Authors: Huy Nguyen Quoc
Published: October 2017

The results of the three-year survey (2012-2014) on composition of pest species of the My Son Sanctuary recorded 50 species, including 16 termite species(invertebrates), 9 vertebrates species, 5 fungals genera and 16 plant species. Of these, only one termite species invaded directly the towers but the damage level caused by it was lightly . Three genera of fungi (Aspergillus, Trichoderma and Penicillium) were identified as major damage species to the towers. The most dangerous level from these fungi was determined in the towers C, B, followed  in the tower D and tower A. Among six plant species found to damage the My Son Towers, four species wereinvading to all of towers: Bidens pilosa L., Tectaria zeylanica (Houtt.) Sledge, Hedyotis diffusa Willd, and Selphinella delicatula (Desv.) Alston). There were 6/9 vertebrates species (66.67%) having harmful effectiveness to the towers but with light level. Overall review about harmful impacts of pests for researched relics identified the main pests  for whichthe control solutions need to be counted in the My Son Sanctuary, such as Bidens pilosa L., Tectaria zeylanica (Houtt.) Sledge, Hedyotis diffusa Willd and Selphinella delicatula (Desv.) Alston).
Etiquetado gramatical por entropía máxima y rasgos de similitud distribucional en un corpus subregional del español
Authors: Rico-Sulayes Antonio , Saldívar-Arreola Rafael , Rábago-Tánori Álvaro
Published: October 2017

Con el objetivo primario de etiquetar automáticamente las categorías gramaticales en una colección de texto no estructurado, la cual fue diseñada para asistir en una serie de tareas lingüísticas, esta investigación ha utilizado dos etiquetadores automáticos de primera generación para el español. Estos etiquetadores han sido aplicados al Corpus del Habla de Baja California (CHBC) que cubre una subregión de México. Los dos etiquetadores, uno basado en el principio de Máxima Entropía y el otro que le suma a este modelo estadístico rasgos de similitud distribucional, son de reciente introducción y no se ha ofrecido un rango de precisión para los mismos. Por tanto, este artículo ha tenido como segundo objetivo el evaluar y proveer una cifra de precisión comprobada para los modelos de lenguaje que subyacen a los etiquetadores en cuestión. Con la finalidad de lograr estos dos objetivos, este artículo ha propuesto un etiquetario reducido, el cual también ha resultado de utilidad en la búsqueda de estos objetivos. Aplicados a una muestra de alrededor de 11,000 palabras y más de 12,500 etiquetas gramaticales para dos géneros (texto escrito y discurso oral transcrito), los dos etiquetadores, el de Máxima Entropía y el que suma a ésta los rasgos de similitud distribucional, han obtenido resultados de 97.2% y 97.4%, respectivamente. Al comparar estas cifras con el criterio estándar de 97.1% obtenido entre anotadores humanos, los resultados de ambos etiquetadores se muestran competitivos, incluso al aplicarlos a una colección de datos externa para la cual no han sido previamente entrenados o calibrados. Esto es particularmente importante porque en este tipo de condiciones experimentales se ha encontrado que el desempeño de los etiquetadores puede deteriorarse.
Efecto de la relación leche-lactosuero sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas y reológicas en una bebida láctea fermentada
Authors: Pacheco V. Mónica María , Porras Oscar Orlando , Velasco Edwing , Morales-Valencia Edgar M. , Navarro Alba
Published: October 2017

Se estudió el efecto de la relación leche-lactosuero sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas (pH, acidez total, sólidos solubles y sinéresis) y reológicas (velocidad de deformación, viscosidad aparente, índice de comportamiento al flujo e índice de consistencia) de una bebida láctea fermentada. Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar de dos factores: porcentaje de lactosuero (0, 5, 10 y 15% p/p) y tipo de leche (entera y descremada). La significancia se determinó mediante un análisis de varianza (ANOVA). Todas las propiedades analizadas excepto el pH presentaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (P<0,05). El uso de la leche entera en comparación con la leche descremada generó un incremento en los sólidos solubles y en la viscosidad de la bebida, pero causó una disminución en la acidez y la sinéresis. El incremento en la concentración de lactosuero aumentó la sinéresis y la viscosidad aparente pero disminuyó los sólidos solubles e índice de consistencia. Los cambios en las propie­dades se relacionan con el aporte de grasa que realiza el tipo de leche y la contribución de calcio y fosfato que efectúa la adición de lactosuero, afectando tanto la interacción entre las micelas de caseína como la capacidad de retención de agua, que resulta en cambios en la composición y fluidez de la bebida.
Influencia de las materias primas y de la técnica de moldeo en la fabricación de productos cerámicos tipo gres
Authors: Alvarez Rozo Diana , Sánchez Molina Jorge , Gelves J. F.
Published: October 2017

Se empleó material arcilloso y caliza proveniente de minas cercanas a la zona metropolitana de Cúcuta, así como el material de rotura después del proceso de cocción de productos cerámicos (chamota) para la conformación de probetas de baldosas cerámicas mediante las técnicas de extrusión y prensado. Una vez realizado el proceso cerámico (con temperaturas de cocción entre 1050°C y 1250°C), se evaluó el efecto de las diferentes mezclas preparadas sobre las propiedades tecnológicas de resistencia mecánica a la flexión, abrasión profunda y porcenta­je de absorción de agua de acuerdo a la norma técnica colombiana. Los productos cocidos fueron caracterizados mediante difracción de rayos X, fluorescencia de rayos X y microscopía electrónica de barrido a fin de evidenciar efectos causados por las materias primas y el tipo de moldeo empleado. Los resultados obtenidos dejan ver la existencia de un efecto de la composición mineralógica de las muestras y de la técnica de conformado sobre la propiedades tecnológicas analizadas al momento de elaborar cerámicos gresificados. Se evidenció que para las mezclas de materias primas utilizadas, la técnica de extrusión permite una más rápida formación de fase vítrea y contribuye a una recristalización más rápida en altas temperaturas. Los mejores valores para las propiedades tecnológicas analizadas fueron encontrados en la temperatura de 1150°C.
Metodología para la medición de la huella hídrica en la producción de tilapia, cachama y trucha: estudios de caso para el Valle del Cauca (Colombia)
Authors: Pérez Rincón Mario A , Hurtado Isabel  C. , Restrepo Sergio , Bonilla Sara P. , Calderón Héctor , Ramírez Andrés
Published: October 2017

El sector piscícola en Colombia creció en promedio 13% anual de 1988 a 2013 y es el sexto mayor usuario de agua en el país. Considerando la presión que ejerce la producción piscícola sobre las fuentes de agua, se estudió la huella hídrica (HH) de la piscicultura como un indicador de sostenibilidad. Para ello se desarrolló una metodología que mide la HH en el sector, que incluye sus componentes directos e indirectos, así como las huellas hídricas verde, azul y gris. La metodología se aplicó a las tres especies piscícolas más producidas en el país: tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), cachama (Piaractus brachypomus) y trucha (Oncorhynchus mykiss), para sendos casos de estudio en el Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Se encontró que la HH total del cultivo de tilapia es de 5,486 m3 /Ton, la del cultivo de cachama de 6,193 m3 /Ton y la del cultivo de trucha de 19,854 m3 /Ton. La huella hídrica total más alta para la tilapia fue la del alimento concentrado, seguida por la huella hídrica azul, asociada a la cantidad de agua que permanece almacenada en los estanques; en la cachama y trucha la mayor huella hídrica total fue la gris, relacionada con las altas concentraciones de sólidos y nutrientes, presentes en las excretas de los peces y en el alimento concentrado no consumido.
Determinación del factor de adherencia en filtros de grava de flujo ascendente en capas
Authors: Sánchez Luis D.
Published: October 2017

Este artículo describe el proceso para determinar el factor de adherencia en un filtro de grava de flujo ascendente en capas UGFL. El estudio se llevó a cabo en un filtro piloto alimentado con agua natural para turbiedad de entrada entre 15-70 UNT y operando con tres velocidades de filtración (vf) aplicando el modelo de la teoría de las trayectorias, considerando la remoción de sólidos suspendidos totales y el tamaño de partícula. En un UGFL la sedimentación representa el principal mecanismo de remoción de partículas, pero los resultados muestran claramente que el factor de adherencia y las velocidades de filtración también tienen un papel importante. Se observó una reducción progresiva de partículas pequeñas para menores tamaños de grava a lo largo de la altura del filtro. Las eficiencias del colector aumentaron con la disminución de la vf. Los factores de adherencia calculados por el modelo para cada tamaño de grava fueron mayores para tamaño de grava de 6.4 mm para las vf de 0.75 y 1.0 m/h.

Czy jest możliwa identyfi kacja osób z wysokim ryzykiem przewlekłej encefalopatii pourazowej? Postępy w rozumieniu patogenezy choroby
Authors: Willis M. D.
Published: October 2017

Spontaniczny nieurazowy krwotok śródmózgowy (intracerebral hemorrhage – ICH)jest związany z wysoką chorobowością oraz śmiertelnością na całym świecie i nie ma udowodnionego skutecznego leczenia. W większości przypadków krwiak powiększasię w ciągu 4 godz. od wystąpienia objawów, co jest związane z wczesnym pogorszeniem i złym efektem klinicznym. Kluczową rolę w ICH odgrywa bardzo wczesne leczenie hemostatyczne ograniczające ekspansję krwiaka. Pacjenci z towarzyszącymi zaburzeniami hemostazy mają większe ryzyko ekspansji krwiaka. Strategie lecznicze u pacjentów z ICH powinny obejmować odpowiednie interwencje w zależności od wywiadu stosowania leków przeciwkrzepliwych lub towarzyszącej koagulopatii. W ICH związanym z leczeniem przeciwpłytkowym zaleca się na podstawie umiarkowanie wiarygodnych danych przerwanie leczenia przeciwpłytkowego i przetoczenie płytek krwi u pacjentów, którzy mają być poddani zabiegowi neurochirurgicznemu. W ICH związanym ze stosowaniem antagonistów witaminy K zaleca się podanie pacjentom z INR > 1,4 raczej 3-czynnikowych lub 4-czynnikowych koncentratów kompleksu protrombiny (prothrombin complex concentrates – PCC) niż świeżo mrożonego osocza. U pacjentów z ICH związanym z nowymi lekami przeciwkrzepliwymi zaleca się podanie węgla aktywowanego tym, u których nie upłynęły 2 godz. od przyjęcia leku. Idarucizumab, humanizowane przeciwciało monoklonalne przeciwko dabigatranowi (bezpośredni inhibitor trombiny), jest zarejestrowany przez FDA w sytuacjach zagrażających życiu. Jeśli idarucizumab nie jest dostępny lub jeśli krwotok jest związany z innym niż dabigatran bezpośrednim inhibitorem trombiny, należy podać aktywowany PCC (50 U/kg) lub 4-czynnikowy PCC (50 U/kg) pacjentom z ICH związanym z bezpośrednimi inhibitorami trom biny (direct thrombin inhibitors – DTI). W przypadku ICH związanym z inhibitorem czynnika Xa preferowane jest podanie 4-czynnikowego PCC lub aPCC zamiast rekombinowanego czynnika VIIa z powodu niższego ryzyka zakrzepowych zdarzeń niepożądanych.

Interdisciplinarity for Bridging Disciplines
Authors: Pun Min
Published: October 2017

Interdisciplinary Studies crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. No discipline stands alone entirely. In other words, disciplines are not distinct entities at all; they sometimes overlap, sometimes borrow, and sometimes invade upon one another. And some disciplines are famous for their particularly interdisciplinary or bridging disciplines by nature. they may, thus, within the one discipline fuse physical sciences, social sciences and humanities as they consider interrelations between two or more separate domains.Crossing the Border: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol.4(1) 2016: 1-2
Spying - An Ethical Profession
Authors: Holmes David
Published: October 2017

In this essay, I will discuss the ethics and morality of spying. I will examine the dilemmas facing governments who choose to cross moral boundaries for the sake of national security. In discussing the morality of spying I will justify spying from a consequentialist and utilitarian perspective. The spy-game stretches the moral boundaries and the end often justifies the means. An example of this dilemma would be torturing a suspect to save a large number of people. Events involving the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al- Mabhouh made headlines worldwide and prompted this discussion. The question asked is how far can intelligence agencies stretch these boundaries?Crossing the Border: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol.4(1) 2016: 39-44
Healing Trauma with metta: Nepali Texts in the Nepali Context
Authors: Pokharel Badri Prasad
Published: October 2017

Nepali society for more than one and half decades has been under panicked condition losing many lives and property which remained irreparable for a long time. It is our memory that helps us reminisce those horrible past events from which one can hardly get rid of, thus, we are inflicted with the memories – traumatic memories that neither let us get rid of it nor let us live out of. We, as part of this painful past, have been with this reality. Many survivors have imbibed this fact in the form of printed media – writing memoirs, stories, novels, poems, etc, from which one can be aware of many such details which make us feel even more traumatic. One can’t live with this memory for a long time; thus, one needs a recovery of such painful past memory; for that a Buddhist tool can be a cure – metta.Crossing the Border: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol.4(1) 2016: 45-52
Optimization of Current, Voltage and Powder Feed Rate on Mechanical Properties of Plasma Transferred Arc Welded SS 316 Joints
Authors: Ravichandran M.
Published: October 2017

Plasma Transferred Arc Welding (PTAW) process parameters were optimized for joining 316 stainless-steel plates to produce weld joints with maximum tensile strength, impact strength and hardness. Taguchi technique was applied for optimizing the selected welding parameters such as welding current (I), welding voltage (V) and powder feed rate (PFR). L9 orthogonal array was selected according to the aforementioned factors with three levels and experimental tests were performed. Signal-to-noise (SN) ratio was used to evaluate the experimental results. The results indicate that the welding voltage has the greatest infiuence on tensile & impact strength and welding current is the significant factor for hardness.
Virtual Optimization of Process and Material Properties for ADI*
Authors: Hepp E. , Thomser C.
Published: October 2017

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) materials show a good combination of mechanical properties, with high tensile strength levels (800–1600 MPa) and an elongation at fracture of up to 10 %. For that reason ADI is a very attractive material group for applications under cyclic loads. However, the material properties are very sensitive to the applied process conditions during heat treatment. In order to optimize the microstructure in an industrial heat treatment process for ADI castings virtually, several aspects concerning microstructure formation as well as industrial heat treatment process conditions have to be considered in simulation. Coupling process simulation with virtual Design of Experiments offers a new methodology to assess and optimize heat treatment processes.
Cracking Resistance Characterization of Asphalt Concrete Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement at Intermediate Temperatures
Authors: Zhou Zhou , Gu Xingyu , Ni Fujian , Li Qiang , Ma Xiang
Published: October 2017

The cracking resistance of asphalt concrete (AC) that contains reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) was evaluated in this study with a fracture energy approach. Monotonic and cyclic semicircular bending (SCB) tests were performed with the digital image correlation to correlate crack length with fracture energy. Five types of AC that contained various RAP content (0%, 15%, 30%, 40%, 50%) were evaluated at two intermediate temperatures (15°C and 25°C). On the basis of the relationship between fracture energy and crack extension length, several performance indicators for cracking were proposed: fracture energy and crack initiation energy in monotonic and cyclic SCB tests, an energy cumulative rate in monotonic SCB tests, a fatigue accumulation index (FAI), a fracture energy index, and the slope of the crack steady propagation stage (SOCSP) in cyclic SCB tests. The effects of the RAP content on these indicators were investigated. It was observed from the test results that RAP reduced the fracture energy and crack initiation energy in the monotonic and the cyclic SCB tests. RAP led to a lower energy cumulative rate than an AC mix without RAP in the monotonic SCB tests. Similarly, the FAI and SOCSP values were found to decrease with an increase in RAP content in the cyclic SCB tests. These results indicated that, in general, the addition of RAP reduced the cracking resistance at intermediate temperatures.
Stiffness Characterization of Asphalt Mixtures with High Recycled Material Content and Recycling Agents

Published: October 2017

Economic and environmental considerations have prompted the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in asphalt mixtures. However, given the concerns about long-term pavement performance, state departments of transportation (DOTs) tend to limit the quantities of these recycled materials unless certain mixture modifications are made [e.g., use of a softer virgin binder performance grade (PG) and warm-mix asphalt technology, the addition of a recycling agent (RA), or any combination of these modifications]. This study focused on the stiffness characterization of recycled asphalt mixtures with combinations of virgin binder PG, RAP, RAS, and RA. Materials were collected from two field projects in Texas and Indiana, and laboratory specimens were prepared and tested for resilient modulus, and dynamic modulus (| E*|) after short-term oven aging (STOA) and long-term oven aging (LTOA). An RA effectiveness parameter was proposed to quantify the rejuvenating effect of RA, which was defined as the percentage reduction in mixture stiffness for the recycled mixture with RA versus the corresponding control mixture without RA. Furthermore, the | E*| test results were analyzed with a Black Space diagram to discriminate asphalt mixtures with different stiffness and relaxation characteristics. The test results indicated that the incorporation of RA was effective in reducing the stiffness of asphalt mixtures with high recycled material content, but the effectiveness diminished with aging. Moreover, recycled mixtures with a softer and less brittle virgin binder and an RA at a higher dosage showed desirable stiffness and relaxation properties after STOA and LTOA.
