Abstract:
Objective. Infection control protocols in dentistry dictate that orthodontic acrylics have to be disinfected. No specific products for orthodontic acrylics are available. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of chemical disinfectants on mechanical properties of orthodontic acrylics.Materials and Methods. 260 test specimens of two cold-curing orthodontic acrylics were manufactured. Three chemical disinfecting agents were tested: Impresept, D050 Instru-Gen, and Stammopur DR. Test specimens were stored in distilled water and divided into test groups. E-Modulus, flexural strength, macro hardness, micro hardness, average roughness, and colour change were measured.Results. Disinfection agents showed no significant influence on E-modulus. Values ranged from 1783.80 ± 163.80 MPa (Forestacryl colourless) to 2474.00 ± 135.00 MPa (Orthocryl green) after storage in distilled water. Disinfection agents performed no significant influence on flexural strength. Values ranged from 18.64±1.59 N/mm2(Forestacryl colourless) to 25.64 ± 1.43 N/mm2(Orthocryl green) after storage in distilled water. Orthocryl colourless showed a reduction of the macro hardness after disinfection (Stammopur DR (p≤0.001), D050 Instru-Gen (p≤0.037)). Disinfection of Orthocryl green with D050 Instru-Gen (p<0.001) and Forestacryl colourless with Impresept (p≤0.001) led to a reduction of macro hardness. Micro hardness of Orthocryl colourless altered significantly after disinfection with D050 Instru-Gen (p≤0.001). Micro hardness of Forestacryl colourless increased (Impresept (p≤0.039)) and decreased (Stammopur DR (p≤0.006) Instru-Gen (p≤0.001)) after disinfection. Average roughness did not change significantly (Orthocryl colourless). Forestacryl colourless performed a significant change after disinfection with Stammopur DR (p≤0.05). This is also true for the disinfection of Orthocryl green and Forestacryl pink with Instru-Gen (p≤0.05). Disinfection performed no significant influence on colour change. ΔE-values were in a range of 1 to 2.Conclusions. Some orthodontic acrylics disinfection caused significant changes of determined parameters. Changes were specific for the applied disinfectant and tested orthodontic acrylic. Further studies should verify the impact of long-term disinfection intervals. Thus, from manufacturers of orthodontic acrylics recommendations for appropriate disinfectants would be desirable.

Abstract:
This experiment was designed to assess the capacity of dietary genistein (GEN), to attenuate bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) and ovary-intact VCD-treated mice. Pretreatment of mice with 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) gradually and selectively destroys ovarian follicles whilst leaving ovarian androgen-producing cells largely intact. VCD induces a perimenopause-like condition prior to the onset of reproductive acyclicity. Sixteen-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomized to five treatment groups: sham(SHM), OVX, SHM + VCD, OVX + GEN, and SHM + VCD + GEN. In vivo, blood samples were drawn for hormone and isoflavone analyses, estrous cycles were monitored, and X-ray imaging was performed to assess changes in bone parameters. Following sacrifice, ovaries were assessed histologically, bone microarchitecture was evaluated via microcomputed tomography, and bone mechanical properties were measured. Some effects of GEN were observed in OVX mice, but GEN effects were not able to be evaluated in VCD-treated mice due to the subtle diminution of bone during the 4 months of this experiment.

Abstract:
AbstractFloating geosynthetic encased columns (GEC) are an increasingly popular method of strengthening weak subsoil. Design of floating columns is a difficult and not fully recognized issue. This paper treats the floating GEC column as a special kind of “pile” and its bearing capacity is calculated using five selected methods for calculating the bearing capacity of piles based on CPTU penetration tests. The calculations were done on the basis of insitu tests carried out on one of the sections of the Bargłów Kościelny bypass. The paper contains a comparison of the bearing capacities of floating GEC columns calculated with different methods based on CPTU penetration tests.

Abstract:
The current paper proposes an integrating framework to present the essential elements of global engineering networks (GENs) from the perspectives of the context, capability, and configuration (3C). Using the 3C framework, three key patterns (efficient GEN, flexible GEN, and innovative GEN) of the leading practice have been identified. The research updates the concept of global engineering management for current business environments and aims to help researchers and practitioners to understand and manage dispersed engineering operations in dynamic environments. The framework is based on a literature review and refined by the empirical studies of a small number of companies in the aerospace, automotive, electrics, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. More in-depth studies across a wider range of industries would improve the validity and reliability.

Abstract:
Abstract Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) membranes of polyvinylidene fluoride-based polymer matrix of different filler types such as nano-clay, ZnO, and SiO2 extracted from fly ash is produced using the non-solvent induced phase separation method. Moreover, the electrochemical properties, electrode compatibility, and the batteries performance are investigated using these gel electrolyte membranes. It is observed that gel electrolytes with nano-clay filler exhibited more stable ionic conductivity and charge–discharge performance than those containing ZnO and SiO2 extracted from fly ash. A maximum ionic conductivity of 5.62 × 10–3 S cm−1 was obtained with the addition of 8 wt% nano-clay filler at room temperature. The LiFePO4 performance assembled with these membranes is examined using coin cells (LiFePO4/GPE/graphite). After 50 cycles with a rate of 0.2 C, the battery with a different filler retained 97.7% of its initial capacity. It should be noted that this type of filler influences the electrolyte absorption, electrochemical properties, and performance of the LiFePO4.

Full text
Abstract:
Generation Z (Gen Z) consumers require special consideration because they are a distinct demographic, are less receptive to mobile advertising, and have not been thoroughly studied. This study seeks to advance ad avoidance research by creatively examining Gen Zers’ perceived ad risk and ad avoidance in mobile applications (apps) and the role that risk attitude and time pressure play in these phenomena. The formal study was conducted in March 2023 via an online survey, and 312 sample data were identified for data analysis. It was found that there is a positive relationship between Gen Zers’ perceived risk and their avoidance of app advertising, with time, performance, and privacy risks being the primary advertising risks. Gen Zers perceive higher advertising risk when they are under time pressure or are risk-averse, and time pressure is a more vital indicator of perceived risk than risk attitude. Time pressure also significantly affects mechanical avoidance (e.g., using an ad blocker) more than behavioral avoidance. Still, the risk attitude only positively affects Gen Zers’ behavioral avoidance of app ads. This study concludes that ad avoidance can be reduced by reducing users’ perceived risk and time pressure. Also, ads should be placed based on consumers’ risk attitude. Future research needs to validate these findings in other cultures, compare Gen Z to other generations, and consider the consequences of ad avoidance.

Full text
Abstract:
This study was targeted towards the synthesis and characterization of new chitosan–gelatin biocomposite films reinforced with graphene oxide and crosslinked with genipin. The composites’ mode of structuration was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, while morphology and topography were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, nano-computer tomography and profilometry. Eventually, thermal stability was evaluated through thermogravimetrical analysis, mechanical properties assessment was carried out to detect potential improvements as a result of graphene oxide (GO) addition and in vitro enzyme degradation was performed to discern the most promising formulations for the maturation of the study towards in vivo assays. In accordance with similar works, results indicated the possibility of using GO as an agent for adjusting films’ roughness, chemical stability and polymer structuration. The enzymatic stability of chitosan–gelatin (CHT-GEL) films was also improved by genipin (GEN) crosslinking and GO supplementation, with the best results being obtained for CHT-GEL-GEN and CHT-GEL-GEN-GO3 (crosslinked formulation with 3 wt.% GO). Yet, contrary to previous reports, no great enhancement of CHT-GEN-GEL-GO thermal performances was obtained by the incorporation of GO.

Abstract:
Laura Wexler’s “‘I Saw It!’: The Photographic Witness of Barefoot Gen,” argues that Hiroshima survivor Keiji Nakazawa uses the “art of re-drawing” to challenge and rework aerial photographs taken by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. In doing so, Nakazawa contests the documentary practices of the U.S. military, and, more broadly, their power to produce and regulate knowledge. Claiming the perpetrator’s perspective as his own, Nakazawa employs the formal flexibility of documentary manga to counter the military’s mechanical objectivity, empower his own witnessing, and produce new forms of documentary truth.

Abstract:
The atomic flux divergence due to electromigration in a passivated polycrystalline line, AFD*gen, has been formulated adding the effect of a passivation on electromigration damage to the governing parameter for electromigration damage in an unpassivated polycrystalline line, AFDgen. The parameter, AFD*gen, has been identified as a governing parameter for electromigration damage in the passivated polycrystalline line by experimental verification process. Recently, a prediction method for electromigration failure in the passivated polycrystalline line was proposed using AFD*gen, and the usefulness of the method was verified through experiment. Both the lifetime and the failure location in the passivated polycrystalline line can be predicted by means of numerical simulation of the failure process covering the building up of atomic density distribution, void initiation, void growth and ultimately—line failure. In this study, AFD*gen-based method for predicting electromigration failure is applied angled polycrystalline lines covered with passivation. There are few works on prediction of failure in the angled lines, though such lines are widely used in IC (integrated circuit) products. The failures are simulated when the corner position and its angle are changed. The dependency of lifetime and failure location on line shape is investigated.

Abstract:
Canada is developing a next generation (Gen IV) reactor, the Canadian Super-Critical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR), which has the potential of meeting all design goals of the Gen IV International Forum (GIF). These design goals include enhanced safety features (inherent safe operation and deploying passive safety features), improved economic and resource utilization (∼40% more efficient than current nuclear power generating stations, sustainable fuel cycle (will burn thorium, which is three times more abundant than uranium), enhanced sustainability, and greater proliferation resistance compared to the current fleets (i.e., Gen III and Gen III+) of reactors. The Canadian SCWR concept is a pressure-tube type reactor that uses supercritical water as a coolant, a separate low-pressure heavy water moderator, a high efficiency fuel channel that includes a zirconium alloy pressure and a ceramic zirconia insulator, and a direct steam power cycle. This paper presents the evolution of the Canadian SCWR core design, simplifications introduced in the design to deal with design challenges, and ongoing design activities.

A methodology was developed to optimize the 3D geometrical design layout of an active integrated power electronics module (IPEM) by considering both electrical and thermal performance. This paper is focused on the thermal analysis, which was performed using 3D finite element and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses. A parametric study was conducted to determine the thermal performance of several different design layouts. A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the overall uncertainty of the predicted simulations. The final design, Gen-II.C, provided a 70% reduction in the common mode current, a 4% reduction in the size of the geometric footprint, and a 3°C reduction in the maximum temperature over Gen-II.A, thus providing an increase in the overall performance.

Alloy 617 is currently considered as a leading candidate material for high temperature components in the Gen IV Nuclear Reactor Systems. Because of the unprecedented severe working conditions beyond its commercial service experience required by the Gen IV systems, the alloy faces various challenges in both mechanical and metallurgical properties. This paper, as Part I of the discussion, is focused on the challenges and issues in the mechanical properties of Alloy 617 for the intended nuclear application. Considerations are given in details in its mechanical property data scatter, low creep strength in the desired high temperature range, lack of long-term creep curves, high loading rate dependency, and preponderant tertiary creep. Some research and development activities are suggested with discussions on their viability to satisfy the Gen IV Nuclear Reactor Systems needs in near future and in the long run.

Abstract:
To contribute to the design and materials selection of the Generation IV SuperCritical Water Reactors (Gen IV SCWR), a high-temperature mechanical property database of candidate alloys has been developed and creep models have been applied to predict long-term creep strength. The alloys in the database include representative ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels, stainless steels, iron-nickel–base alloys, Ni-base alloys, and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys with an emphasis on candidate austenitic and super-austenitic stainless steels. The mechanical properties were evaluated and examined with reference to ASME Section III Subsection NH code and the preliminary fuel cladding requirements in Canadian and Japanese conceptual SCWR designs. Traditional creep prediction models (i.e., Monkman-Grant model and Larson-Miller parameter) and the recent Wilshire-Scharning model were assessed and the constants of creep models were obtained. The predicted average maximum allowable stresses at temperatures and lifetimes of interest to Gen IV SCWR fuel cladding applications are presented.

In ASME 2016 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2016-65994.

Full text
Abstract:
Biodiesel has physiochemical properties similar to diesel fuel and it is renewable. It can be used in diesel engines with no or minor modifications. If biodiesel can be produced from renewable sources such as vegetable or other sources, the CO2 emission produced from the engine running on biodiesel can be consumed by the source itself. Then, the net production of CO2 emission in the atmosphere will be zero. However, the viscosity and density of biodiesel are higher than diesel fuel. These inferior properties make biodiesel less prone to evaporate, diffuse and mix with in-cylinder air resulting in inferior combustion and lower engine performance than diesel fuel. If the in-cylinder air-turbulence inside the combustion chamber can be increased, then this will probably enhance the higher viscous and lesser volatile biodiesel to evaporate faster and mix with air better resulting in better performance. Therefore, in this research, guide vanes were installed into the intake runner to increase the in-cylinder air turbulence especially during the injection period. Five guide vanes with the angles of 25°, 30°, 35°, 40° and 45° were fabricated and tested. The vanes were tested on a diesel-gen-set and run with 100% biodiesel. Based on the experimental results, the vane angle of 35° was found to be optimum as this vane angle showed the highest reductions of break specific consumption, CO and HC by 1.77%, 8.78% and 7.5%, respectively compared to the run with biodiesel without vanes. The other vanes showed lower improvements. Therefore, this research concludes that the improvement of in-cylinder air-turbulence can enhance the engine performance with higher viscous biodiesel.

Abstract:
A process model of syngas production using high temperature electrolysis and biomass gasification is presented. Process heat from the biomass gasifier is used to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of the steam electrolysis process. Hydrogen from electrolysis allows a high utilization of the biomass carbon for syngas production. Based on the gasifier temperature, 94% to 95% of the carbon in the biomass becomes carbon monoxide in the syngas (carbon dioxide and hydrogen). Assuming the thermal efficiency of the power cycle for electricity generation is 50%, (as expected from GEN IV nuclear reactors), the syngas production efficiency ranges from 70% to 73% as the gasifier temperature decreases from 1900 K to 1500 K.
