Effect of layer band and heterogeneity of microstructure on electrochemical dissolution of laser solid formed Ti-6Al-4V alloy
Authors: Li Jiaqiang , Lin Xin , Guo Pengfei , Huang Weidong
Published: April 2019

Laser solid forming (LSF) is a newly advanced additive manufacturing technique which offers a huge potential in efficiency and cost savings for fabricating the components of aerospace titanium alloys with high performance. In this research, the macrostructure/microstructure and electrochemical dissolution features of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by LSF and forging were investigated. The LSFed Ti-6Al-4V that included as-deposited and annealing heat treatment (HT) conditions contains three periodically distributed microstructural morphologies: fine microstructure zone (FMZ), coarse microstructure zone (CMZ), and layer band. All zones of the different microstructural morphology in an entire deposit are constituents of α-laths and a small amount remained in the β phase. An alternating structure of coarse and fine microstructures was observed along the deposition direction in the deposit. Layer bands are generally spaced above the CMZ. The CMZ is a constituent of a slightly coarser basket weave structure than that of the FMZ. However, the layer bands present the microstructure of colony α. Additionally, the α-laths are slightly coarsened by HT, and this simultaneously results in a more homogeneous microstructure compared with the as-deposited microstructure. Moreover, the forged Ti-6Al-4V possesses the most homogeneous microstructure and the largest size of the α phase. Simultaneously, a variety of dissolved morphology features were observed in the three types of samples after potentiodynamic polarization tests. The order of the surface macrosmooth level of these samples is forged > HT > as-deposited. For LSFed Ti-6Al-4V, the FMZs and the layer bands present a faster electrochemical dissolution rate than that of the CMZs. Consequently, the uneven surface is revealed by the distinct dissolution rate of different microstructural zones at the same LSFed sample. The forged Ti-6Al-4V alloys present a uniformly dissolved behavior, which is attributed to the homogeneity of the microstructure. The elimination of the layer bands and the homogenization of the microstructure of the LSFed Ti-6Al-4V are of great significance for improving the surface quality during electrochemical machining.

Published: April 2019

Objective: The study aimed to compare the effects of bloodletting and acupuncture treatment on patients with headaches caused by “blood-fire origin”. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Affiliated Hospital of National University of Inner Mongolia, with two treatment groups, one receiving bloodletting and the other acupuncture. The effects of both treatments were evaluated using the traditional medical questionnaire, visual analog scale scores, and serum lab tests at baseline and one month after treatment. Sixty patients with headaches caused by “blood-fire origin” participated in the study and 27 were male while 33 were female. The data were analyzed at baseline and 1month after treatment using t-tests. Results: After treatment, all complaints related to headaches improved in both study groups when compared before the treatment (p<.05). The visual analog scale pain score was significantly reduced (p=.002) both groups after treatment. Following treatment, the serum nitric oxide and endothelin levels were significantly reduced (p=.0001) compared to pre-treatment levels. Conclusion: Bloodletting and acupuncture decreased the frequency of headache score and reduced the intensity of pain score in patients with headaches. The nitric oxide and endothelin levels were significantly decreased in patients who received bloodletting treatment compared to acupuncture.

Perfecting Communication Skills of the Students
Authors: Sharma Dr. Neeta
Published: April 2019

Abstract Communication is a process of sharing information through speech, writing, gestures or symbols between two or more people. The focus of the present paper is oral communication and the language under consideration is English. The teacher should adopt a student centered approach. The learners should be encouraged to do things in the class which result in developing their communication skills. The trainer has to focus on both the linguistic and paralinguistic features of the communication process while enhancing learners’ communication skills. These features involve the effective use of words, forming grammatically intelligible sentences and an appropriate use of voice and intonation. The teacher should encourage and train his students to use positive body language while listening and speaking. In order to hone the communication skills of the learners, it is very important to make the learners comfortable with the language they have to communicate in. Shedding their inhibitions is also one of the pivotal areas of concerns. This paper explores different techniques that could be useful while training students in communication skills. Communication is a process of sharing information through speech, writing, gestures or symbols between two or more people. The focus of the present paper is oral communication and the language under consideration is English. The major elements of a communication process are sender, receiver, message and feedback. Effective communication is a two way process. It involves both expressive (speaking) skills and receptive (listening) skills. It entails receiver’s understanding of the message sent by the sender and his feedback to the sender. Listening plays a very important role in the language learning process. It is the most primary of the four basic skills of any language i.e. Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Listening paves way for speaking. One can never be a good speaker if one is not a good listener. An effective communicator is first a good listener and then a good speaker. According to Tickoo ( 2003 ), ‘Good listening skills not only lay the foundations of good speech, but they grow best through effective communication’.
A Comprehensive Review on Economic Load Dispatch using Evolutionary Approach
Authors: Singh Pragya , Priya Aayushi
Published: April 2019

Economic Load Dispatch, ELD can be defined as the way of allocating the load level to the generators of the power plant in such a way that the total demand would be supplied in a most economic manner and completely. In a practical power system, the power plants are not located at the same distance from the centre of loads and their fuel costs are different. Also, under normal operating conditions, the generation capacity is more than the total load demand and losses. Thus, there are many options for scheduling generation. In an interconnected power system, the objective is to find the real and reactive power scheduling of each power plant in such a way as to minimize the operating cost. This means that the generator‟s real and reactive powers are allowed to vary within certain limits so as to meet a particular load demand with minimum fuel cost. This is called optimal power flow problem. In this paper, Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) of real power generation is considered. Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is the scheduling of generators to minimize total operating cost of generator units subjected to equality constraint of power balance within the minimum and maximum operating limits of the generating units. This paper gives a survey of research work covering the concept of economic load dispatch. Economic load dispatch gives the best saving in cost for any power generation plant operation in which the methodology can be applied by various means from conventional to the advanced. In the past years up to 90s, the conventional techniques were used to make this happen but in the past decades AI techniques have fulfilled the requirements with satisfactory results that are being reviewed.
Foreign Anti-Corruption Legislation in the Private Sector
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Krasnousov Sergey Dmitrievich
Published: April 2019

The study analyzes the legislative instruments of Finland, Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore which have recently been used as an anti-corruption benchmark in the private sector. Despite the ongoing exchanges of tools for combating this negative phenomenon among the countries, nowadays, almost any government takes its own anti-corruption efforts. On the one hand, in Finland and Sweden, both the unacceptability of corrupt behavior in society and non-governmental movements that educate people against corruption allow countries to remain the leaders with a mini-mum Corruption Perceptions Index. On the other hand, leadership is associated with an active rule-making and consistent enforcement. The author puts forward hypotheses about the prospects of learning from other countries and basing upon sev-eral provisions of foreign legislation to develop a Russian anti-corruption policy focused on primary concerns such as the economic security of the country.

Published: April 2019

The study discussed the historical background to the legislation of the Russian Empire on censorship proceedings since the adoption of the first censor-ship statute in 1804. Further five statutes (the last one was adopted in 1890) regulated in detail the jurisdiction of censorship proceedings, a review period of manuscripts, the powers of censors and actors, the procedure at different stages, an appeal against the decisions of censorship commissions, the representation of authors, translators, publish-ers, and other persons involved in the creation of manuscripts. Jurisdiction meant the substantive competence of a censorship commission. Jurisdic-tion was exclusive and non-exclusive. All cases were classified by the following types of proceedings: internal, ecclesiastical, departmental, and foreign. The research identified and elaborated on the prin-ciples of censorship legislation that served as a ba-sis for a review of manuscripts.

Published: April 2019

The study presents a comparative analysis of the main stages of the inter-Korean dialog in the late 2018 – early 2019 and youth opinion on the unifica-tion of the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The two coun-tries’ students studying at Vladivostok State Univer-sity of Economics and Service have been inter-viewed and questioned. The authors identify the attitude of young people towards the Korean con-flict and its resolution, the participation of the Kore-an national team in the 2020 Summer Olympics, the Korean reunification and their doubts about the elimination of alienation. South Korean students express concerns about the hasty disengagement from the conflict relationship and a priority need to solve the problems in their country. The restrained responses of North Korean students to political questions reflect their full agreement with unifica-tion as a Korean national idea. The overall trend in the inter-Korean dialog and the views of young peo-ple on this issue demonstrate that South-Korean relations have reached a new milestone. In general, young people take a positive attitude to the unifica-tion of South and North Korea having different polit-ical systems, levels of social and economic devel-opment, and military capabilities.
Electoral System as a Political Institution
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of  National Economy and Public Administration, Gaychenya Maksim Ivanovich
Published: April 2019

Modern electoral system is characterized by a set of rules and regulations designed to determine the correlation between legislative and executive branches and achieve their legitimacy. The author considers the electoral system as a political institu-tion that ensures continuity of state power and local government by the democratic technology and pro-cedures establishing political and legal criteria for legalization of the free will of law-governed state citizens in the electoral process. The relevance of the study is supported by the fact that legitimate elections and the wide acceptance of election out-comes serve as the key attribute of a democratic society capable to deal with the challenges by peaceful political means. The research identifies that any electoral system can be treated as a complex and multi-faceted construct affecting the political system of society as a whole. A complex and multi-dimensional concept of political stability turns out to be a fundamental component of electoral sys-tems. A stable democratic regime has a strong prob-ability of preserving its democratic nature.

Published: April 2019

Object indoor location is a field that receives much research effort but that is lacking enough maturity for its integration in popular devices like mobile phones. This paper describes the results of an experiment carried out to compare different pattern recognition algorithms in order to process the information from a set of Bluetooth transmitters, located in fixed positions, with the aim of locating an object in a precise position. Our conclusion is that the best algorithms, among the five we tested, are random forests and model-based clustering, which gave accuracies around 90%. We have also conducted experiments to analyse the influence of the number of Bluetooth transmitters and to determine the sets of features with better performance. The proposed approach is simple and gives 90% of accuracy for locating objects with 1 m precision, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Published: April 2019

This paper explores the behavior shown by the protocols TCP Reno, Cubic, Vegas and Westwood in presence of errors in bursts occurred in multiple traffic over a hybrid topology. The development is based on the analysis of case studies, where it starts with a mixed topology of two wired and two wireless nodes, with two flows of the same variant of the TCP protocol, subsequently increasing the number of nodes until reaching 8 wired nodes behaving as senders and 8 wireless nodes as receivers. In all cases only one of these flows suffers a burst error and through the tests we analyze how the flow recovers from the burst. For this study, behavioral tests were carried out using the NS-2 network simulator, on a hybrid topology (wired and wireless), also incorporating burst errors of different lengths, typical of wireless links.

Pemanfaatan batu kapur sebagai bahan bangunan telahlama dilakukan, hal ini disebabkan batuan kapur mudah didapatkan dan berharga murah.Oleh sebab itu, penambangan batu kapur banyak dilakukan baik di permukaan maupun dibawah permukaan batuan yang membentuk terowongan batu kapur.Sampai saat ini,penambangan batu kapur di atas permukaan masih belum terjadi kelongsoran karenapenambangan batu kapur di atas permukaan mempunyai tingkat keamanan yang cukup tinggi meskipun penggalian yang dilakukan mempunyai sudut 900.Namun sebaliknya, kelongsoran(keruntuhan) sering terjadi pada penggalian di bawah permukaan, Keruntuhan tersebutdiakibatkan oleh ketidaktahuan penambang tentang batas-batas aman penambangan batukapur di bawah permukaan terlebih ketika musim hujan.Oleh karena itu Untukmeminimalkan terjadinya keruntuhan pada batuan kapur ketika penambangan di bawahpermukaan perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap sifat fisik, sifat teknis dan sifat mekanis batuan kapurdan perilakunya ketika terdapat beban yang bekerja diatasnya serta pengaruh retakan yang terjadipada batuan terhadap daya dukungnya saat penambangan bawah permukaan dilakukan.Pengujian laboratorium dilakukan untuk mengetahui sifat fisik dan teknis batuan kapursedangkan uji lentur dilakukan untuk mengetahui kuat lentur batuan saat beban bekerja danadanya retakan batuan kapur. Hasil uji laboratoium akan dijadikan data untuk pemodelan inputplaxis dengan variasi beban dan kedalaman yang berbeda-beda. Analisa data dilakukan darihasil pemodelan Plaxis dan pengujian mekanisnya sehingga akan diketahui pengaruh lebar dan kedalaman penggalian. Hasil pengujian laboratorium menunjukkan batuan kapur Pamekasandikelompokkan ke dalam batuan lemah dengan kuat tekan 2.34 MPa dengan nilai Gs 2.4 dankohesi 27.27 kPa.Hasil pemodelan Plaxis 8.2 menunjukkan bahwa Keruntuhan terowonganbatuan kapur untuk berat sendiri terjadi ketika lebar galian 5 meter dengan kedalamanterowongan 7 meter dari atas permukaan.Sementara Untuk penambangan dengan bebantambahan di atasnya, keruntuhan mulai terjadi saat lebar terowongan di atas 3 meter dengankedalaman galian lebih dari 6 meter.

The use of ACWC asphalt as a surface layer in Madura continues to increase as traffic growth increases following the opening of the Suramadu Bridge. In addition to having the advantages of stability in accepting loads compared to other types of surface layers, ACWC asphalt is also easily made and carried out in the field. However, asphalt mixing plant (AMP) companies in Madura still use materials from outside Madura as coarse aggregates such as river breaking stones and fly ash and cement used as fillers to improve stability. Based on this, this research was carried out by utilizing local meter which has the same properties in the form of local Madura crushed stone which will be used as coarse aggregate and industrial by-products in the form of rice husk ash (by-product of brick industry) and limestone powder (limestone mining byproducts ) used as filler. For this purpose samples were made with the percentage of filler used was 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%. Marshall test testing includes calculation of density, flow, VMA, VIM, VFB, and stability. From the test results, AC-WC uses local materials with both types of filler, namely Limestone and Rice Husk Ash. There is one type of mixture that meets the Marshall characteristics, namely the use of local materials and filler of limestone 8% asphalt variation 6.5%. With a value of 2,285 Density, 1,852,863 kg Stability, Flow 3,467 mm, Marshall Quotient 534,48 kg / mm, VIM 3,058%, V.M.A 15,941%, VFB 80,819%. While the local material and fillers of Rice Husk Ash from the results of Marshall Test for Flow, VIM, and VFB did not meet the requirements so that the use of rice husk ash filler could not be used as a substitute for cement.
