Pim and Pom, the cats with nine lives
Authors: Smid Gioia 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
Dutch illustrator Fiep Westendorp and writer Mies Bouhuys created the adventures of the cats Pim and Pom for the Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool in 1957. In 2008 director Gioia Smid started with the production of a 2D animated childeren’s TV series called ‘The Adventures of Pim & Pom’, based on the illustrations and characters by Fiep Westendorp and Mies Bouhuys. The artwork for the animation series remained as true to the original drawings as possible. The TV series became an instant success, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Smid and a team of animators are working on a feature film about Pim and Pom, that will be premiered in Dutch cinemas in 2014.
The universal aesthetic appeal of the animations in Yo Gabba Gabba!
Authors: Paul James 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
Yo Gabba Gabba, a television show for preschoolers, has gained a significant audience following of adults. Through an analysis of Dennis Dutton’s theory of evolutionary aesthetics and using his twelve criteria for neutral discussion of aesthetics, this article examines the aesthetic appeal of the animated segments of Yo Gabba Gabba. Four case studies are highlighted, which, along with personally conducted interviews with the directors of the shorts and a critical reading of the discussion surrounding the show, form the backbone of the research. The universal appeal of the animations was found to be the result of the producers of Yo Gabba Gabba hiring talented animators and visual artists, not known for work aimed at preschoolers. These artists have created without many guidelines imposed upon them unique and imaginative animations with cross-generational aesthetic appeal.

Clinical Assessment of the Shoulder
Authors: Donnelly Thomas D , Ashwin Sridhar , MacFarlane Robert J , Waseem Mohammed 
Published: September 2013

The shoulder joint is complex in structure and functionality. It is often difficult to assess clinically due to the great variety of associated pathology. This article presents an overview of the anatomy of the shoulder region and associated pathologies, whilst providing a summary of the clinical examination of the shoulder and associated ‘special tests’.A full history is vital when assessing shoulder pathology. No particular test is fully sensitive or specific alone and accuracy varies between both clinicians and patients alike. Assessment of the shoulder should be conducted systematically with a range of tests combined.
Quality Features of Metal Matrix Composite Castings
Authors: Gawdzińska K. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
In this paper it is stated, that a set of quality features of metal matrix composite castings differs from the same set for castings of classic materials, although some features are common for both of these material groups. These features (pertaining to a set of quality characteristics of composite castings) have been named as specific, they have not been determined yet and a description of material quality should be performed (according to the qualitology) on a principle of description of quality characteristics of this product. Therefore, this set of features has been determined. It was proposed to add the following characteristics to the set of specific features of composite castings quality: matrix material, reinforcement material, binding between components and porosity of the composite casting. In this set a sub-set of quality characteristics of composite castings was also determined.
Effects of Extrusion Parameters by KoBo Method on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Aluminum
Authors: Pieła K. , Błaz L. , Jaskowski M. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
Commercial purity aluminum was extruded by means of KoBo method at varied processing parameters. Received extrudates, with different mechanical and electrical properties and work hardening behavior, were obtained. It was found, that some conditions of KoBo extrusion process such as low initial billet temperature, low extrusion rate and low frequency of oscillating die lead to extremely high strength and high electrical resistivity of the material. The absence of work hardening (up to 40% strain) during subsequent groove rolling is also a specific feature of received materials. It was suggested that mentioned features are related to the development of overbalance concentration of point defects (clusters) generated during the extrusion process. During following cold rolling of the extrudate, mentioned defects annihilate at gliding dislocations and make the dislocation climbing and their rearrangement easier. Therefore, until the exhaustion of this mechanism, the hardening of material during cold rolling is very limited. Following increase of the material strengthening at higher rolling strains point to the return of the material to its typical behavior observed for cold deformed aluminum produced by conventional hot extrusion.
Research of New Splitting Process of Pipe Billets from 2618A Aluminium Alloy Basing on Cross-Wedge Rolling
Authors: Tofil A. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
This paper are presented the results of theoretical and experimental research on splitting without waste of pipe billets from aluminium alloy realized basing on cross-wedge rolling method. The analyzed process is connected with rolling of a V-shape groove on a split billet circumference, and later with rotary bending causing material separation. In theoretical analysis, based on simulations by means of finite element method, basic models of metal cracking (brittle and ductile) were applied. During calculations, the following process parameters were changed: forming angle α, bending angle θ and reduction ratio ∆r. The achieved results allowed for a precise analysis of the splitting process within the scope of: state of strain, kinematics of flow, force parameters, state of stresses and type of cracking of the split material. On the basis of experimental research, the influence of the analyzed parameters on the surface of splitting was estimated and scope of parameters guaranteeing the assumed quality of the product was given. The comparison of theoretical and experimental results showed good conformity.

Authors: Olejnik E. , Sobula S. , Tokarski T. , Sikora G. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
Application of in-situ technique allows for fabrication of composite zone in the casting with a matrix of cast steel with low carbon content. The reinforcing phase in the composite zone is titanium carbide, produced by the synthesis of substrates introduced into the mould in the form of pressed compacts. Metallographic studies were performed in order to determine of homogeneity of composite zones and characteristic features existed in transition area between the composite zone and core of the casting. The transition areas of composites zone were blurred and there were no discontinuities caused by poor bonding between the composite zone and the core of the casting. To confirm the correct run of the TiC synthesis, phase analysis was performed of the base alloy as well as composite zone. The results of this examination indicated that there were two phases in composite zone, i.e. α Fe and TiC and only α Fe was observed in base alloy. Changes of mechanical properties in the composite zone were examined, measuring its hardness HV. The average hardness values of the base alloy and composite zone were 175 ±4 and 696 ±201 HV, respectively.
Segregation of Elements in Corrosion Resistant Castings of Diversified Wall Thickness
Authors: Malatyńska P. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
The segregation of elements in two corrosion resistant cast steel grades Cr18-Ni9-Mo, in castings of wall thickness: 7, 15 and 30 mm were performed. The results indicate the analogous path of curves of the content of Fe, Cr, Ni, Mo and C, in walls of various thickness. Decrease in the content observed in the delta ferrite Fe (2 to 3 wt. %), Ni (from 3.5 to 5 wt. %) and C (about 1 wt. %), where the Mo and Cr increased their content of 2% wt. %, and about 6% wt. respectively in the case of the two test cast. For the test steel Q2 with a carbon content 0.054 wt. % were found carbides in the form of white precipitates on the grain boundary of delta ferrite. This resulted in the occurrence of the peaks in the lines of the element distribution analysis especially for molybdenum, iron and carbon, as shown in the diagrams for various segregation of wall thickness.
Effects of Steel – Applied for Large-Dimension Castings for the Power Engineering – Refining in The Ladle-Furnace
Authors: Kalandyk B. , Wojtal W. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
The changes of a sulphur content during refining in melting low-alloy and high-alloy steels (G17CrMoV5-10; GX12CrMoNiVNbN9-1) applied for large-dimension castings for the power engineering are presented in the hereby paper. The investigated steel was melted in the oxygen-recovery melting technology with an application of maximum 70% of the process scrap. In addition, after steel melting in the electric arc furnace (EAF), the secondary metallurgy was performed in the ladle furnace (LF). It was shown that the application of the secondary metallurgy by a synthetic slag in the ladle furnace and argon bubbling of a metal bath leads to obtaining in the final analysis: 0.0043-0.0046% of sulphur (a decrease of S content during refining in LF reached 40%). Current measurements of FeO in the slag and maintaining its content below 0.8%, support obtaining such low sulphur content in steel. So low level of the slag oxidizing is one of the necessary conditions for a deep desulphurisation of the metal bath. Without the secondary metallurgy the sulphur content in low-alloy cast steel was 0.007%, while 0.01% in high-alloy cast steel. Controlling of the gas (oxygen, nitrogen) content during steel melting and correcting the amount of additions (e.g. deoxidants), allowed to obtain the low oxygen content (below 45 ppm for two investigated steel grades) and nitrogen content (88 ppm for low-alloy steel and 330 ppm for high-alloy steel), which warrants a good combination of strength and plastic properties.
Structure And Properties of the Centrifugally Cast High-Alloyed (25Cr35NiNbTi) Steel after Long-Time Operation in Steam Reforming
Authors: Mikułowski B. , Zapała R. , Głownia J. , Wilk P. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
The paper presents the influence of performance conditions of high-alloyed nickel-chromium cast steel intended for use in steam reforming plants on the morphology and number of phases present in centrifugally cast tubes. Structure identification was done by the methods of light and scanning microscopy. It was found that the main components of the tested cast steel microstructures are carbides of, among others, chromium, iron, and niobium. The structure has also been reported to contain the sigma phase. Additionally, at three test temperatures (20, 820 and 945°), the mechanical properties of the cast steel were determined after years of operation under industrial conditions. The tested material was characterised by low, compared with standard requirements, mechanical properties. A relationship between the content of phases (primary and secondary carbides), measured by the methods of quantitative metallography, and the yield strength of the tested material was determined. The yield strength determined at room temperature, and at 820° and 945° assumed higher values in samples characterised by a relatively large volume content of phases.

Shape Complicated Casting Defects Prediction Based on Computer Simulation
Authors: Cholewa M. , Szuter T. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
The impact of mould filling parameters on casting defects in shape complicated skeleton casting was investigated. Skeleton castings are low weight cellular material mainly used for energy absorption in for example automotive industry. For prediction of defects such as porosities, the computer simulations of mould filling and solidification were used. In such shape complicated structures like skeleton castings it is very difficult to predict localization of the defects. This knowledge is very important to gain information about deformation mechanisms and for impact behaviour modelling. Series of the skeleton castings were investigated by computer tomography to validate simulations results.
The Influence of The Configuration of Operating Parameters of a Machine for Thermal Reclamation on the Efficiency of Reclamation Process
Authors: Łucarz M. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
An experimental machine for thermal reclamation, constructed specifically for the research purposes, enables various ways of regaining sand grains from the used moulding and core sands bound by synthetic resins. The source of heat for the process of burning the used moulding and core sands is provided by three gas burners equipped with automatic ignition devices which control the flame and whose work is individually steered by temperature adjusters. It is extremely important to find an appropriate system of stirring the reclaimed sand in order to create the conditions for fast and even burning of the border of the used synthetic binder. The fluidized floor in the machine for thermal reclamation presented in the paper is divided into three independent sections. Air provided to each section by a blower gets through an electrovalve, whose work is steered by an electronic system which was designed and constructed specifically for the use in machine. The adequately set time adjusters in the controller make the electrovalve open and enable the air to flow to particular sections of the fluidized floor of the reclamation chamber. The process is monitored and the working parameters are recorded electronically. The diverse methods of stirring the reclaimed sand used in the process were analyzed in relation to their influence on temperature fluctuation in the reclamation chamber, the length of reclamation process, the amount of the media needed to obtain the purity of the reclaimed (gas, energy), in order to obtain the reclaimed sand of purity defined in terms of ignition losses.

Authors: Konopka Z. , Łągiewka M. , Nadolski M. , Zyska A. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
The purpose of the work is the determination of the strengthening coefficient for the AlSi13Cu2 alloy matrix composite reinforced with chopped carbon fibre and produced by high-pressure casting method. This coefficient was determined during the static tensile test using the Ramberg-Osgood equation. The regression relationships between strain and stress were established, serving as a basis for finding the strengthening coefficient values. The measurements and calculations were performed also for the matrix alloy itself, for the purpose of comparison. The examined coefficient decreased with an increase of fibre fraction in the composite. Its value for composite containing 15 vol. % of chopped fibre was found to be lower by 30% than the value determined for matrix alloy, what means the strengthening of the alloy to such a degree.

Published: September 2013

Abstract
Application of modern technological solutions, as well as the economic and ecological solutions, is for foundries one of the main aspects of the competitiveness on the market for castings. IT solutions can significantly support technological processes. This article presents neural networks with different structures that have been used to determine the moisture content of the moulding sand based on the moulding sand selected properties research results. Neural networks were built using Matlab software. Moulding sand properties chosen for quality control processes were selected based on wide previous results.
For the proposed moulding sand properties, neural networks can be a useful tool for predicting moisture content. The structure of artificial neural network do not have a significant influence on the obtained results. In subsequent studies on the use of neural networks as an application to support the green moulding sand rebonding process, it must be determined how factors such as environmental humidity and moulding sand temperature will affect the accuracy of data obtained with the use of artificial neural networks.

Authors: Guzik E. , Wierzchowski D. 
Published: September 2013

Abstract
Below are described results of the analysis concerning the use of two cored wire injection method (2PE- 9) and the unique application of a drum ladle as a treatment, transport and casting one, instead of a vertical treatment ladle. Parameter optimization, like: length of nodulariser wire, residual magnesium content, treatment and pouring temperature have been shown. Influence of various treatment temperatures, magnesium-cored wire velocities (Mg-treatment times) and weights of molten alloy on magnesium recovery are demonstrated. Moreover, graphite nodule content in relation to different raw materials in the charge mix are presented. Typical microstructure, mechanical properties and treatment costs are given as well. Using specific industrial conditions for tests and optimal, low scrap production of austenitic nodular cast iron (EN-GJSA-XNiSiCr35-5-2 Grade, according with EN 13835), makes this innovative method very credible. Injection of two Ø 9 mm wires; cored in FeSi + Mg nodulariser mixture and inoculant master alloy into a drum ladle is a treatment method that can be used for the production of ductile iron melted in a coreless induction furnace.

Published: September 2013

Abstract
Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 and ZnO nanopowders is studied depending on the morphology, grain sizes and method of synthesizing. Photocatalysis of the prepared powders was evaluated by degradation of the methylene blue aqueous solution. Absorbance spectra (190-100 nm) were measured during exposure of the solution to UV light. The relationships between the photocatalytic activity and the particle size, crystal polymorph phases and grain morphology were analyzed. The photocatalytic activity of prepared TiO2 nanopowders has been found to depend of the anatase-to-rutile phase ratio. Comparison is given for the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanopowders prepared by sol-gel and solar physical vapour deposition (SPVD) methods

AbstractThis study examines the effect of irradiance level produced by solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the growth, nutritional quality and antioxidant properties of Brassicaceae family microgreens. Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes, ‘Delicacy Purple’) mustard (Brassica juncea L., ‘Red Lion’), red pak choi (Brassica rapa var. chinensis, ‘Rubi F1’) and tatsoi (Brassica rapa var. rosularis) were grown using peat substrate in controlled-environment chambers until harvest time (10 days, 21/17°C, 16 h). A system of five lighting modules with 455, 638, 665 and 731 nm LEDs at a total photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) of 545, 440, 330, 220 and 110 µmol m−2s−1 respectively were used. Insufficient levels of photosynthetically active photon flux (110 µmol m−2 s−1) suppressed normal growth and diminished the nutritional value of the Brassica microgreens studied. In general, the most suitable conditions for growth and nutritional quality of the microgreens was 330–440 µmol m−2 s−1 irradiation, which resulted in a larger leaf surface area, lower content of nitrates and higher total anthocyanins, total phenols and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical scavenging capacity. High light levels (545 µmol m−2 s−1), which was expected to induce mild photostress, had no significant positive impact for most of investigated parameters.

Published: September 2013

AbstractWurtzite-type Zn1−x MnxO (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) nanostructures were successfully synthesised using a simple microwave-assisted hydrothermal route and their catalytic properties were investigated in the cellulose conversion. The morphology of the nanocatalysts is dopant-dependent. Pure ZnO presented multi-plate morphology with a flower-like shape of nanometric sizes, while the Zn0.97Mn0.03O sample is formed by nanoplates with the presence of spherical nanoparticles; the Zn0.95Mn0.05O and Zn0.93Mn0.07O samples are mainly formed by nanorods with the presence of a small quantity of spherical nanoparticles. The catalyst without Mn did not show any catalytic activity in the cellulose conversion. The Mn doping promoted an increase in the density of weak acid sites which, according to the catalytic results, favoured promotion of the reaction.
