Effect of shear modulus on the performance of prototype un-bonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators
Authors: Ngo Van Thuyet 
Published: September 2018

Un-bonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator (U-FREI) is light weight and facilitates easier installation in comparison to conventional steel reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREI), in which fiber layers are used as reinforcement to replace steel shims as are normally used in conventional isolators. Shear modulus of elastomer has significant influence on the force-displacement relationship of U-FREI. However, a few studies investigated the effect of shear modulus on the horizontal behavior of prototype U-FREI in literature. In this study, effect of shear modulus on performance of prototype U-FREIs is investigated by both experiment and finite element (FE) analysis. It is observed that reduction in horizontal stiffness of U-FREI with increasing horizontal displacement is due to both rollover deformation (or reduction in contact area of isolator with supports) and shear modulus of elastomer. Reasonable agreement is observed between the findings from experiment and FE analysis.
Keywords: base isolator; prototype un-bonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator; rollover deformation; shear modulus; cyclic test.

Published: September 2018

This paper presents the experimental results of researching on plastic shrinkage (plastic deformation) and the effect of curing methods on the process of plastic shrinkage at the early stages when self-compacting concrete (SCC) starts setting and develops the strength. The experiments were carried out in two typical climatic conditions in Vietnam which are humid and dry. The experiments were conducted with two typical water/powder ratios of 0.3 and 0.35 and four cases of curing methods which are nylon membrane, watering, no-curing and soaking in water (the standard condition). Besides, the influences of plastic shrinkage at the early stages on strength development and occurrence of surface cracking of SCC were also investigated. The conclusions were drawn about the plastic deformation process and the curing method that might minimize plastic shrinkage of SCC, control surface cracking early, and ensure the quality and strength of SCC in the hot and humid climatic condition of Vietnam.
Keywords: plastic shrinkage; self-compacting concrete; hot and humid climate; hardening process.

Published: September 2018

Understanding the dynamics of aerosols and associated influence on regional and global climatic conditions requires the knowledge of spatial and temporal distributions of aerosols on regional and global scales. In this study, the satellite-based MODIS AODs retrievals level 2 products from Terra (MOD04-10 km) and Aqua (MYD04-10km) satellites are inter-compared with the ground-based AERONET AODs (level 2) over Nghia Do station located in an urban area of Hanoi city, Vietnam for the period of 2010-2016. The Terra AODs showed good-match with the ground-based AODs measurements (slope = 0.830, intercept = 0.099, RMSE = 0.260, R2 = 0.673, and RMB = 0.970). However, the Aqua AODs expressed systematically the underestimation of AERONET AODs (slope = 0.556, intercept = 0.184, RMSE = 0.390, R2 = 0.408, and RMB = 0.810). All MODIS AODs indicates the moderate correlation with AERONET AODs (slope = 0.683, intercept = 0.147, RMSE = 0.330, R2 = 0.520, and RMB = 0.890). Although MODIS AODs follow well the monthly variations of AERONET AODs, the relatively high discrepancy between MODIS and AERONET AODs can be observed during the winter months.
Keywords: aerosol products; MODIS AODs; AERONET AODs; inter-comparison.

Explore the major ideological patterns of development of a socially philosophies of education in the context of the problems of institutionalization of knowledge about human and social development. To analyse system-integration aspect of social philosophy and education management in interaction with model of «new humanism» in formation of socially valuable orientations. Classification existing in the western philosophy of education and education of directions is spent, proceeding from basic principles of philosophical school or a current, first of all considering those the purpose and means which are really involved by them in process of education, social development and socially-moral education and being based on the basic installations, the purpose expressed by that or other direction, how its supporters imagine the person, its requirement, a social role, behaviour which the education system and education urged to form.
Considering growing requirement of a practical embodiment of ideas of freedom, justice, aspiration to realisation of the human rights proclaimed a society, supporters of the concept of «new humanism» see the main objective in blocking a way to conformism, to a manipulation behaviour of the person and to create conditions for its free self-expression, for realisation by the person of a fundamental choice of acts in a concrete situation and by that to warn danger of formation of the unified form of behaviour. In it principles of «new humanism» approach with a position of instrumentalism and neopragmatism.
Before social philosophy of education/upbringing it is necessary to define a problem factors which cause achievement of its main objective, to state an estimation to moral principles and personal qualities with which actually the education/education theory connects realisation of the problems, to show, why these, instead of any any other principles and qualities open to the person possibility to choose in a concrete situation socially powerful both morally defensible and comprehensible line of conduct in public the relation. Statement of a question on necessity of the philosophical analysis of problems of education and education in a social context serves as an indicator of understanding philosophers, teachers of an increasing role of the human and moral factor in society development. And, at last, the aspiration to develop socially-philosophical bases of pedagogics in general and education in particular, testifies that the western and domestic philosophers, teachers, representatives of social and psychological sciences, at least, the majority of them, have realised the public importance of an education system and education, its global character.

Published: September 2018

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) starters generally have a better outcome compared with hemodialysis (HD) starters, perhaps related to treatment characteristics or case mix. We previously showed that pre- and post-dialysis start clinical parameter trajectories are related to outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate these trajectories in PD and HD starters. Methods This retrospective observational study analyzing data from the Fresenius Medical Care–chronic kidney disease (CKD) Registry from January 2009 to March 2018 examines trends in key clinical parameters through the transition period covering 12 months before to 12 months after dialysis start in 8,088 HD and 1,015 PD starters. Results Hemodialysis starters differed from PD starters by a significantly greater decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope (-0.64 vs -0.45 mL/min/1.73 m2/month) before and higher eGFR (9.85 vs 7.84 mL/min/1.73 m2) at dialysis start. Relatedly, differences in phosphorus (0.07 vs 0.05 mg/dL/month) and hemoglobin (-0.08 vs -0.01 g/dL/month) slopes before the transition to dialysis therapy were observed. After dialysis start, HD starters experienced a greater increase in albumin (0.01 vs 0 g/dL/month) whereas PD starters experienced a decline in serum sodium and higher white blood cell counts compared with HD starters. Conclusion For nephrology practice CKD patients, HD and PD starters appear clinically comparable in the year before dialysis start although HD starters exhibit a more rapid pre-dialytic eGFR decline. Ideally, studies comparing incident HD and PD outcomes should also consider CKD eGFR trajectories. In the first dialysis year, divergence occurs in albumin, white blood cell count, sodium and hemoglobin trends, which may be partly treatment-related.
