Authors: Gillespie Dan , MacLellan Crystal , Ferguson-Pell Martin , Taeger Andrea , Manns Patricia J. 
Published: October 2020

Purpose: Stroke survivors living in rural and remote communities experience challenges in accessing specialized rehabilitation services. Access to balance assessment after stroke is an essential aspect of the physiotherapy assessment. Telerehabilitation (TRH) can eliminate access disparities; however, adoption into practice has been limited. Our primary objective was to examine agreement between Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores obtained through TRH and those obtained through traditional in-person assessment of community-dwelling individuals with stroke. Method: Two raters administered the BBS to 20 community-dwelling individuals with stroke, using both TRH and traditional in-person approaches. The order of assessments and rater assignment was randomized. Interrater reliability between the methods was assessed using Krippendorff’s α reliability estimate. A survey was then administered to examine the participants’ perceptions of the two means of assessment. Results: Excellent interrater agreement was found between TRH and in-person assessment ( κ = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.96, 0.99), and responses regarding patients’ perceived hearing and understanding of instructions as well as perceived safety were comparable. In addition, the vast majority of participants agreed or strongly agreed that they would use TRH for future physiotherapy sessions. Conclusions: The results of this study support administration of the BBS using TRH technology; this could improve access to balance assessment for stroke survivors in rural and remote communities.

Abstract
In this study, 6 mm thick plates of Al 6061 T6 alloy are joined by laser welding at four welding speeds (40 mm × s-1, 35 mm × s-1, 25 mm × s-1, and 20 mm × s-1). The welded joints are made using a 4000 W fiber laser welding machine. The effect of laser welding speed on the pores formed in the weld seam was investigated. In this manner, it was found that with a change in laser welding speed the amount of pores formed in the structure also changed. In addition, after the welding process, macroscopic examinations, tensile tests and the hardness tests were made. As a result of the experiments performed, it was determined that, the laser welding speed was highly effective for pore formation.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Metal-polymer-metal hybrid sandwich panels are gaining importance in various industrial applications due to their light weight and damping properties. When compared with composite materials, hybrid materials consisting of separate metal and thermoplastic parts can be recycled more easily. In addition to their applications in civil engineering, the aluminum-low density polyethylene-aluminum (Al-LDPE-Al) sandwich panels yield a potential use as light ballistic protection material. In this study, a standard hybrid panel of 3.2 mm polyethylene filling and 0.4 mm of two aluminum metal sheets was experimentally tested under ballistic impact. A finite element model was constructed via commercial software and validated through shooting experiments with a rifle under real conditions. The finite element model was used to simulate the oblique impact behavior of Al-LDPE-Al sandwich panels as a single layer, as 5 layers stacking and as a single layer equivalent of the stacked 5 layer. Results showed that the oblique impact does not have a significant effect on the single layer panel. Stacked layers, however, and the equivalent single layer of a stacked layer have the highest energy absorption under a 30° hitting angle.
Effects of thread rolling processing parameters on mechanical properties and microstructures of high-strength bolts
Authors: Aktas Serkan , Kisioglu Yasin 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Bolt production with a grade of 10.9 class quality made from AISI4140 material with a low thread rolling index is usually implemented in accordance with the thread rolling method (cold forming) in industrial applications. In this method, the effects of die revolutions and multiple passes are unknown in the thread forming process as the devices are usually operated with respect to geometrical dimensions but not the mechanical properties and microstructures of the material. In the literature there are few studies on microstructures of low-carbon steel having a higher thread rolling index in bolt production. This study experimentally examined the effects of the processing parameters on the mechanical properties and microstructures. Parameters such as forming speed and single or multi-pass influences were considered in the production of M12 × 1.75 and M20 × 2.5 fasteners widely used in industrial applications. The experiments identified the behavior of the mechanical properties, microstructures and micro-hardness of the AISI4140 material at two forming speeds (rpm) and three passes in the thread rolling process. Thus, significantly sensible outcomes as a function of processing parameters were obtained considering the thread strength viewpoints.
Finite element analysis and design optimization of a non-circular sandwich composite deep submarine pressure hull
Authors: Helal Mahmoud , Fathallah Elsayed 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Diving depth is the criteria for designing the submarine pressure hull meant to achieve a definite collapse depth. In this study, a methodology to optimize a sandwich composite deep pressure hull is presented. Buoyancy factor (BF) minimization is considered as an objective function. The optimization process is achieved by ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). Composites failure criteria and structural stability are considered as constraints. Additionally, sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze the effects of geometric parameters on optimal structural design. The results showed that, the utilization of a sandwich composite pressure hull for a deep submarine at extreme depths is not safe. Additionally, the results propose that the submarine designed should be able to operate at a maximum diving depth of up to 7500 m.
Ultrasonic testing and evaluation of moisture-dependent elastic properties of fir wood
Authors: Aydin Tugba Yilmaz , Kucukkose Ayşegul 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
With respect to their relevance for wood-related technologies, moisturedependent elastic engineering parameters of Taurus fir (Abies Cilicica (Antoine et Kotschy) Carriere) are determined from ultrasound longitudinal (2.3 MHz) and shear (1 MHz) wave velocities. The dynamic Young’s and shear modules of characteristic axes and planes decrease significantly down to 17 % at increased moisture content due to decreased wave velocities. Moisture-dependent R1 values of the modules range from 0.88 to 0.99. However, Poisson’s ratios exhibit inconsistent moisture dependent behavior. Remarkable differences between ultrasound findings and the published results from compression tests are observed. Generally, the elastic values of wood from ultrasonic testing are reported higher than from mechanical tests. In contrast we find lower values as well. The critical issue of different ultrasound velocity sensitivity at selected directions is highlighted.

Authors: Evans Braden , Renkema Justin 
Published: October 2020

The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum F. (Figure 1) is a serious agricultural pest of plants in the family Cucurbitaceae in eastern North America. Crops affected by larval and adult feeding include cucumber, Cucumis sativus L., cantaloupe, Cucumis melo L., pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo L., and other Cucurbita spp. (Dill and Kirby 2016). The striped cucumber beetle is a vector of the plant disease bacterial wilt (Eaton 2016). Though the striped cucumber beetle occurs throughout Florida, it is the least commonly reported among three chrysomelid species on cucurbit crops in the state. The spotted cucumber beetle, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber, and banded cucumber beetle, Diabrotica balteata LeConte, are more common in Florida, causing damage symptoms that are similar to striped cucumber feeding damage (Webb 2010). Includes: Introduction - Distribution - Description and Life Cycle - Damage - Monitoring - Management - Selected References.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1215
