The application of carbon black and printing ink technology in molded interconnect devices
Authors: Liu Ren-Hao , Young Wen-Bin 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
In this article, the processing of molded interconnect devices (MIDs) was studied via in-mold decoration (IMD) molding technology. A screen printing process using carbon black and printing ink was proposed in the study. For comparison, various conductivity materials such as copper powder, iron powder, carbon black and silver composite were studied with the screen printing method. The results show that there is no electrical conductivity for the ink containing copper or iron powder up to 90% concentration. The low cost carbon black with printing ink was shown to be successful for the IMD process.

Abstract
Fast progressing immuno-PET asks to explore new radionuclides. One of the promising candidates is 90Nb. It
has a half-life of 14.6 h that allows visualizing and quantifying biological processes with medium and slow
kinetics, such as tumor accumulation of antibodies and antibodies fragments or drug delivery systems and
nanoparticles. 90Nb exhibits a positron branching of 53% and an average kinetic energy of emitted
positrons of E
mean =0.35 MeV. Currently, radionuclide production routes and Nb
V

labeling techniques are explored to turn this radionuclide into a useful imaging probe. However, efficient separation of
90Nb from irradiated targets remains in challenge.
Ion exchange based separation of 90Nb from zirconium targets was investigated in systems AG 1 × 8 –
HCl/H2O2 and UTEVA-HCl. 95Nb (t
1/2 = 35.0 d), 95Zr (t
1/2 = 64.0 d) and 92m
Nb (t
1/2 = 10.15 d) were chosen for studies on distribution
coefficients. Separation after AG 1 × 8 anion exchange yields 99% of 90/95Nb. Subsequent use of
a solid-phase extraction step on UTEVA resin further decontaminates 90/95Nb from traces of zirconium with yields
95% of 90/95Nb.
A semi-automated separation takes one hour to obtain an overall recovery of 90/95Nb of 90%. The amount of
Zr was reduced by factor of 108. The selected separation provides rapid preparation (< 1 h) of high purity
90Nb appropriate for the synthesis of 90Nb-radiopharmaceuticals, relevant for purposes of
immuno-PET. Applying the radioniobium obtained, 90/95Nb-labeling of a monoclonal antibody (rituximab)
modified with desferrioxamine achieved labeling yields of >90% after 1 h incubation at room temperature.
Investigation of toughening behavior of epoxy resin by reinforcement of depolymerized latex rubber
Authors: Agarwal Mayank , Arif Mohamand , Bisht Ankita , Singh Vinay K. , Biswas Sunanda 
Published: April 2014

AbstractAn epoxy resin (EP) matrix has been modified with depolymerized natural rubber (DNR). The 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 wt% DNR-filled epoxy were used for the present investigation. The primary aim of this development is to scrutinize the mechanical properties of such cured epoxy filled with DNR. When the rubber content was low, the mechanical strength was low and the free volume of DNR in epoxy matrix was less. With the increase in rubber content, the free volume of rubber in the composite increases and the mechanical strength increases; however, after a specific weight percentage of rubber, if we increase the amount of rubber, the mechanical strength decreases and the free volume of rubber in the composite increases quickly, but with the increase in DNR weight percentage in epoxy matrix, the hardness decreases. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results justified the results obtained from the mechanical tests.
Explaining Darwin’s Corollary to Haldane’s Rule: The Role of Mitonuclear Interactions in Asymmetric Postzygotic Isolation Among Toads
Authors: Brandvain Yaniv , Pauly Gregory B , May Michael R , Turelli Michael 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
We examine the basis of Darwin’s corollary to Haldane’s rule, which describes viability and fertility differences between F1 produced from reciprocal crosses. We analyzed asymmetries in hybrid viability from &gt;100 reciprocal crosses involving 36 toad species to test whether relatively high rates of mitochondrial vs. nuclear evolution produce dams with systematically less viable F1 hybrid progeny. We find no such effect, suggesting a predominant role for stochastic accumulation of asymmetric epistatic incompatibilities.
Vegetative Incompatibility Loci with Dedicated Roles in Allorecognition Restrict Mycovirus Transmission in Chestnut Blight Fungus
Authors: Zhang Dong-Xiu , Spiering Martin J , Dawe Angus L , Nuss Donald L 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
Vegetative incompatibility (vic), a form of nonself allorecognition, operates widely in filamentous fungi and restricts transmission of virulence-attenuating hypoviruses in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica. We report here the use of a polymorphism-based comparative genomics approach to complete the molecular identification of the genetically defined C. parasitica vic loci with the identification of vic1 and vic3. The vic1 locus in the C. parasitica reference strain EP155 consists of a polymorphic HET-domain-containing 771-aa ORF designated vic1a-2, which shares 91% identity with the corresponding vic1a-1 allele, and a small (172 aa) idiomorphic DUF1909-domain-containing ORF designated vic1b-2 that is absent at the vic1-1 locus. Gene disruption of either vic1a-2 or vic1b-2 in strain EP155 eliminated restrictions on virus transmission when paired with a vic1 heteroallelic strain; however, only disruption of vic1a-2 abolished the incompatible programmed cell death (PCD) reaction. The vic3 locus of strain EP155 contains two polymorphic ORFs of 599 aa (vic3a-1) and 102 aa (vic3b-1) that shared 46 and 85% aa identity with the corresponding vic3a-2 and vic3b-2 alleles, respectively. Disruption of either vic3a-1 or vic3b-1 resulted in increased virus transmission. However, elimination of PCD required disruption of both vic3a and vic3b. Additional allelic heterogeneity included a sequence inversion and a 8.5-kb insertion containing a LTR retrotransposon sequence and an adjacent HET-domain gene at the vic1 locus and a 7.7-kb sequence deletion associated with a nonfunctional, pseudo vic locus. Combined gene disruption studies formally confirmed restriction of mycovirus transmission by five C. parasitica vic loci and suggested dedicated roles in allorecognition. The relevance of these results to the acquisition and maintenance of vic genes and the potential for manipulation of vic alleles for enhanced mycovirus transmission are discussed.

Published: April 2014

AbstractThe striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, is one of the most serious pests of rice, causing extensive damage and yield loss. This report is a study on the expression patterns of three heat shock protein genes of C. suppressalis. Results indicated that hsp90, hsp70, and hsp60 all expressed within eight tissues (organs) sampled from fifth-instar larvae, with the highest levels being found in the hindgut and the lowest levels in the foregut. Interestingly, an abundance of all three hsps were observed in the head. We also examined heat shock protein expression in different life stages and sexes of rice stem borer. The hsp90 and hsp70 also appeared correlated with the developmental processes of C. suppressalis. The results showed that the transcripts of hsp70 varied remarkably in different developmental stages. The hsp60 demonstrated significantly higher expression in female than male adults. All three hsps of C. suppressalis could be induced by temperature stress, especially heat stress. For example, the highest increase for hsp90, hsp70, and hsp60 was at 42, 36, and 36°C, respectively. All three hsps were more sensitive to heat than cold.

Authors: Corriere F. , Vincenzo D. Di , Guerrieri M. 
Published: April 2014

Abstract The practice capacity of a railway junction depends, in addition to the effective operation’s conditions, by the potential risk factors related to the design plan of the railway station. With the aim of an approach based on the “fuzzy sets” it is possible to determine the numeric value of the practice capacity by the logic - qualitative relations between the features of the railway junction and the potential risk factors. This methodology permits to try out the absolute value of a suitable vector β, (less then the unit) for the utilization of the theoretic capacity in conditions of maximum reliability of the system related to the aspect of safety (technique “fail safe”).

Authors: Hariri-Ardebili M. A. , Mirzabozorg H. 
Published: April 2014

Abstract The Dez dam was commissioned in 1963 and since sediments accumulated in the reservoir up to an elevation of approximately 15m below the intake of the power tunnel. One of the possible measures to improve operation of the reservoir is by heightening of the existing dam. This paper describes the conducted procedure for static and thermal calibration of this 203m dam in Iran based on micro geodesies measurements. Also the nonlinear response of existing dam is investigated under maximum credible earthquake ground motions considering joint behavior and mass concrete cracking and safety of dam is evaluated for possible heightening. For thermal calibration of provided numerical model, transient thermal analysis was conducted and results were compared with thermometers records installed in central block. In addition, for static calibration; thermal distribution within dam body, dam self weight, hydrostatic pressure and silt load applied on the 3D finite element model of dam-reservoir-foundation were considered. Results show that the distribution of stresses will be critical within dam for heightening case under seismic loads in MCL.
On Adjusting the Load Bearing Capacity of Decisive Members to Reliability Classes of Statically Determinate Complex Structures
Authors: Kowal Z. 
Published: April 2014

Abstract The paper provides a solution to the problem of dimensioning decisive bars on the basis of the conditions of meeting the recommended reliability classes [9] of statically determinate structures composed of n members. A theorem was formulated: if a statically determinate structure composed of n decisive members is to attain the reliability greater than, or equal to, the recommended reliability p = 1- q, it is necessary and sufficient that the damage frequency sum qi of decisive members is smaller than the admissible damage frequency q of the structure: Σqi < q. On the basis of this theorem, s coefficients that recommend increase of the load bearing capacity of the decisive bars in a statically determinate structure constructed in order to meet the recommended class [9] of the structure reliability, are estimated and presented in a tabular form.

Published: April 2014

Abstract
The paper presents a new elastic scheduling task model which has been used in the uniprocessor node of a control measuring system. This model allows the selection of a new set of periods for the occurrence of tasks executed in the node of a system in the case when it is necessary to perform additional aperiodic tasks or there is a need to change the time parameters of existing tasks. Selection of periods is performed by heuristic algorithms. This paper presents the results of the experimental use of an elastic scheduling model with a GRASP heuristic algorithm.

Authors: Stadler Adam Witold , Zawiślak Zbigniew , Dziedzic Andrzej , Nowak Damian 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
Studies of electrical properties, including noise properties, of thick-film resistors prepared from various resistive and conductive materials on LTCC substrates have been described. Experiments have been carried out in the temperature range from 300 K up to 650 K using two methods, i.e. measuring (i) spectra of voltage fluctuations observed on the studied samples and (ii) the current noise index by a standard meter, both at constant temperature and during a temperature sweep with a slow rate. The 1/f noise component caused by resistance fluctuations occurred to be dominant in the entire range of temperature. The dependence of the noise intensity on temperature revealed that a temperature change from 300 K to 650 K causes a rise in magnitude of the noise intensity approximately one order of magnitude. Using the experimental data, the parameters describing noise properties of the used materials have been calculated and compared to the properties of other previously studied thick-film materials.
COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF REFERENCE MEASUREMENTS OF CYLINDRICAL SURFACE ROUNDNESS PROFILES OF LARGE MACHINE COMPONENTS
Authors: Nozdrzykowski Krzysztof , Janecki Dariusz 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
The article presents results of comparative tests performed to verify the conformity of geometric deviation measurements of a crankshaft carried out at a test bed equipped with a system of elastic support with measurements adopted as reference values. A number of simulation tests were carried out with varied shaft support conditions using the proposed measuring system. The selection criteria were established for support parameters. Meeting these criteria guarantees that shaft elastic deflections and strains are eliminated. Consequently, such strains will not affect the estimation of geometrical deviations of the measured object. The comparative evaluation measurement of roundness profiles and values of roundness deviations of main crankshaft bearing journals of a marine medium speed engine was performed using a correlation calculus. The results have revealed high conformity of both determined roundness deviation values and measured profiles compared to the reference ones.

Abstract
This paper describes the design and test of a new high-current electronic current transformer based on a Rogowski coil. For better performances, electronic current transformers are used to replace conventional electro-magnetic inductive current transformers based on ferromagnetic cores and windings to measure high-current on the high voltage distribution grids. The design of a new high-current electronic current transformer is described in this paper. The principal schemes of the prototype and partial evaluation results are presented. Through relative tests it is known that the prototype has a wide dynamic range and frequency band, and it can allow high accuracy measurements.
APPLICATION OF THE POLYNOMIAL INTERPOLATION METHOD FOR DETERMINING PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A DIESEL ENGINE
Authors: Stoeck Tomasz , Abramek Karol Franciszek 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
The article shows the methodology and calculation procedures based on Lagrange polynomial interpolation which were used to determine standard performance characteristics of the Polish production engine, type ANDORIA 4CTi90-1BE6. They allow to simplify the experimental research by maintaining a minimum number of measurement points and estimating the remaining data in an analytical way. The methods presented are convenient when it comes to the practical side because they eliminate the need for exploration of mathematical equations describing the various curves, which can be cumbersome and time consuming in the case of nonautomated accounts. The results of analysis were applied to actual experimental results, indicating sufficient accuracy of the resulting approximations. As a result, procedures may be used in bench testing of a similar profile, especially with repeated cycles of the experiment, such as optimization of operating parameters of combustion engines.

Published: April 2014

Abstract
Within this study, AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel material was processed with tangential cylindrical grinding method as a new method. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of machining parameters on surface roughness by using Taguchi experimental design method. Results were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and effects of parameters on surface roughness were determined as percentage rate. Furthermore, the statistical error ratio was revealed. Consequently, it was observed that this new machining method has brought a different approach to grinding methods and surface quality values exhibited a similar quality as the results of the fine grinding.
Mechanical Performance of Polyamid 66 and Influence of Glass Fiber Content on Moisture Absorption
Authors: Sayer Sami 
Published: April 2014

AbstractThis study investigates the determination of the mechanical performance of polyamid 66 and the influence of moisture and short glass fiber content (15 wt.-% and 30 wt.-%) at six different conditioning times (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 minutes) in 105 °C water vapor. It was determined that as the glass fiber content increases, moisture absorption decreases. While the moisture absorption increases, tensile strength decreases and the percental elongation and toughness increases. It can also be derived that continuation of moisture absorption after 16 minutes is not effective and beneficial. The moisture absorption values observed in this study are equivalent to the amount of moisture that can be absorbed at 50 % relative humidity and 23 °C room temperature in the air for four months.
L’art des nouveaux médias : défi et opportunité pour la muséologie d’art
Authors: Desaive Pierre-Yves 
Published: April 2014

En los años noventa, nació la noción del arte de nuevos medias, que queda hoy mal definida. Queda necesario definir de que se trata, y proponer una diferencia entre obras basadas en el uso de la tecnología numérica, y obras que incluyen otras tecnologías de comunicación. Este «arte-red» (network art),
prolonga el arte de medias del final de los años sesenta, y transforma las obras en «datas». Esto cuestiona las prácticas de adquisición, de conservación y de exposición. Así se pueda comprender que los museos no se interesaron a estas formas de arte. También interviene la voluntad de artistas de redes de no estar incluidos en el arte contemporáneo. La evolución de este arte-red fue acompañada por los centros de arte, que se dedicaban a la producción más que a la conservación. Museos y centros de arte tienen que desarrollar ahora una misma visión para garantizar la producción y la conservación de obras que corresponden a una revolución
Estimating storage properties of aquifer with magnetic resonance sounding: a field verification in northern Cambodia of the gravitational water apparent cutoff time concept
Authors: Vouillamoz J.M. , Sophoeun P. , Bruyere O. , Arnout L. 
Published: April 2014

ABSTRACTMagnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) has already showed its capability for estimating some aquifer properties, but very little work has been carried out concerning the storage properties used for calculating groundwater reserve and recharge. For unconfined aquifer, this storage property (i.e., the specific yield) is often estimated from the MRS water content. However, a recent study carried out in a poor sandstone aquifer of Northern Cambodia found that the MRS pore‐size related parameter is probably more appropriate because the MRS water content can be dominated by water which does not contribute to the specific yield. A main output of this study is that a threshold value (so‐called apparent cutoff time ACT) of the MRS decay time can be defined for discriminating gravitational water from capillary and bound waters. Since measuring such short MRS signal is quite common, a validation of this result is compulsory to avoid the misuse of the MRS water content.This paper presents an experiment that we set up to check the validity of the ACT approach. We compared two MRS carried out at the same location in a clayey‐sand layer 15 metres thick. The first MRS was carried out with a static water level located at 1.7 metres below the ground level. It revealed a layer with a water content of 3.8% and . According to the ACT approach, this short value of indicates water that is not part of the specific yield and that can not be released by pumping. Thus, we carried out a second MRS after pumping and lowering the water level to an average of 15 metres. As predicted by the ACT approach, we observed that the second MRS signal was the same as the one obtained before pumping.To cross‐check our observation, we carried out a pumping test at the same location. We found a very low value of specific yield, confirming that the main part of the MRS signal is generated by water which was not drained by the pumping. We calculated that the volume of water removed from the aquifer by the pumping was far too low to generate a measurable magnetic resonance signal.From our experiment, we conclude that the ACT approach can be successfully used to estimate the specific yield of poor aquifers, and to avoid a misuse of the MRS water content which can lead to strong overestimates of aquifer reserve and recharge.
