Abstract:
Depression during adolescence is associated with a number of negative outcomes in later life. Research has examined the longitudinal nature of adolescent depression in order to identify patterns of depressive mood, the early antecedents and later consequences. However, rich longitudinal data is needed to better address these questions. The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) is an intergenerational birth cohort with nine repeated assessments of depressive symptoms throughout late childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Depressive symptoms are measured using the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ). Many studies have used ALSPAC to examine the longitudinal nature of depressive symptoms in combination with the wealth of early life exposure and later outcome data. This data note provides a summary of the SMFQ data, where the data are stored in ALSPAC, the characteristics and distribution of the SMFQ, and highlights some considerations for researchers wanting to use the SMFQ data in ALSPAC.

Abstract:
Magnetic fields are an unavoidable physical factor affecting living organisms. Lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa var. cabitat L.) were subjected to various intensities of the static magnetic field (SMF) viz., MF0 (control), SMF1 (0.44 Tesla (T), SMF2 (0.77 T), and SMF3 (1 T) for three exposure times (1, 2, and 3 h). SMF-treated seedlings showed induction in growth parameters and metabolism comparing to control. All photosynthetic pigments were induced markedly under SMF, especially chlorophyll a. SMF at different intensities boosted osmolytes, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity over non-magnetized seedlings. Oxidative damage criteria viz., hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical, and lipid peroxidation, as well as polyphenol oxidase activity, were kept at low values under SMF-treated seeds relative to control, especially SMF2. Electron donors to antioxidant enzymes including nitrate reductase, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide induced via SMF exposure and consequently the activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferases, catalase, and peroxidases family enzymes were also stimulated under SMF, whatever the intensity or the exposure period applied. All these regulations reflected on the enhancement of lettuce yield production which reached 50% over the control at SMF3. Our findings offered that SMF-seed priming is an innovative and low-cost strategy that can improve the growth, bioactive constituents, and yield of lettuce.

Abstract:
There is a need for reliable and valid screening tools that assess depressive symptoms in adolescents in Pakistan. To address this need, the present study examined the psychometric properties and factor structure of a Sindhi-translated and adapted version of the child-report Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ-C) and the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ-C) in a community sample of adolescents living in Matiari, Pakistan. Questionnaires were translated into Sindhi and administered by study psychologists to 1350 participants (52.3% female) 9.0 to 15.9 years old. Measurement structure was examined using confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was estimated, and convergent and divergent validity were explored using subscales from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders. The unidimensional structure of the MFQ-C was found to be adequate, but a four-factor structure comprising core mood, vegetative, cognitive and agitated distress symptoms best fit the data (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.05). The original unidimensional structure of the SMFQ-C was supported (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.07). The MFQ-C and the SMFQ-C respectively showed excellent (α = 0.92) and good internal consistency (α = 0.87) as well as satisfactory construct validity with some differences observed across the MFQ-C subscales. The SMFQ-C and the adapted MFQ-C appear to be reliable and valid measures of depressive symptoms among early adolescents living in rural Pakistan. Both total and subscale scores can be derived from the MFQ-C to assess general and specific dimensions of depressive symptoms in this population.

Abstract:
Aims.This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of mental health and quality of life (QOL) in children and adolescents living in residential and foster care.Methods.Two hundred and sixteen children and adolescents, aged 8–18 years, from residential and foster care participated. QOL was assessed using the Pediatric Quality-of-Life Inventory (PedsQL), levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms using the screen for child anxiety-related emotional disorders (SCARED) questionnaire and the short mood and feeling questionnaire (SMFQ), and general mental health through use of the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ).Results.The children and adolescents from residential care had significantly low QOL and more frequently had mental health problems. A stepwise linear regression was performed to test the associations between the SCARED, SMFQ and SDQ scores, and PedsQL (QOL). Anxiety, depressive symptoms and general mental difficulties account for significant variations in QOL (p < 0.001).Conclusions.Mental health problems have significant negative effects on the QOL of children and adolescents living in residential and foster care.

Abstract:
This study aimed at examining the relationship between parenting styles and depression in adolescents. Convenient sampling was used to collect 100 adolescents (Mean age = 15.25 years, Sd = 0.90) from two colleges of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Parental Attitude Questionnaire (PAQ) was used to measure parenting styles and two other self-report measures, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) were used to assess depression in adolescents. From multiple regression analysis significant relationship was found between parenting style and adolescents’ depression measured by one self-rating scale. The overall regression model for investigating the relationship between parenting style and depression in adolescent was significant with HADS, (F = 3.77, p = 0.007) but not significant with SMFQ scores (F = 0.880, p = 0.454). For the dependent variable of depression measured by HADS, the strongest predictors were authoritative parenting style (β = –0.28, p = 0.03) and monthly income of the family which is also significant (β = 0.25, p = 0.01). Implications of the findings for child rearing and research are discussed. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(1): 49-59, 2019 (January)

AbstractBackgroundTo identify developmental sub-groups of depressive symptoms during the second decade of life, a critical period of brain development, using data from a prospective birth cohort. To test whether childhood intelligence and inflammatory markers are associated with subsequent persistent depressive symptoms.MethodsIQ, a proxy for neurodevelopment, was measured at age 8 years. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein, typical inflammatory markers, were measured at age 9 years. Depressive symptoms were measured six times between 10 and 19 years using the short mood and feelings questionnaire (SMFQ), which were coded as binary variable and then used in latent class analysis to identify developmental sub-groups of depressive symptoms.ResultsLongitudinal SMFQ data from 9156 participants yielded three distinct population sub-groups of depressive symptoms: no symptoms (81.2%); adolescent-onset symptoms (13.2%); persistent symptoms (5.6%). Lower IQ and higher IL-6 levels in childhood were independently associated with subsequent persistent depressive symptoms in a linear, dose–response fashion, but not with adolescent-onset symptoms. Compared with the group with no symptoms the adjusted odds ratio for persistent depressive symptoms per s.d. increase in IQ was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.68–0.95); that for IL-6 was 1.20 (95% CI, 1.03–1.39). Evidence for an association with IL-6 remained after controlling for initial severity of depressive symptoms at 10 years. There was no evidence that IL-6 moderated or mediated the IQ-persistent depressive symptom relationship.ConclusionsThe results indicate potentially important roles for two distinct biological processes, neurodevelopment and inflammation, in the aetiology of persistent depressive symptoms in young people.

Abstract:
BackgroundLower cognitive functioning in early childhood has been proposed as a risk factor for depression in later life but its association with depressive symptoms during adolescence has rarely been investigated. Our study examines the relationship between total intelligence quotient (IQ) score at age 8 years, and depressive symptoms at 11, 13, 14 and 17 years.MethodStudy participants were 5250 children and adolescents from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and their Children (ALSPAC), UK, for whom longitudinal data on depressive symptoms were available. IQ was assessed with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III, and self-reported depressive symptoms were measured with the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ).ResultsMulti-level analysis on continuous SMFQ scores showed that IQ at age 8 years was inversely associated with depressive symptoms at age 11 years, but the association changed direction by age 13 and 14 years (age–IQ interaction, p<0.0001; age squared–IQ interaction, p<0.0001) when a higher IQ score was associated with a higher risk of depressive symptoms. This change in IQ effect was also found in relation to pubertal stage (pubertal stage–IQ interaction, 0.00049<p⩽0.038). At age 17 years, however, sex-specific differences emerged (sex–age squared–IQ interaction, p=0.0075). Whilst the risk effect of higher childhood IQ scores for depressive symptoms declined in females, and some analyses even supported an inverse association by age 17 years, it persisted in males.ConclusionsOur results suggest that the association between cognitive ability in childhood and depressive symptoms in adolescence varies according to age and/or pubertal stage.

Abstract:
Background Public health recommendations and government measures during the COVID-19 pandemic have enforced restrictions on daily-living. While these measures are imperative to abate the spreading of COVID-19, the impact of these restrictions on mental health and emotional wellbeing is undefined. Therefore, an international online survey (ECLB-COVID19) was launched on April 6, 2020 in seven languages to elucidate the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on mental health and emotional wellbeing. Methods The ECLB-COVID19 electronic survey was designed by a steering group of multidisciplinary scientists, following a structured review of the literature. The survey was uploaded and shared on the Google online-survey-platform and was promoted by thirty-five research organizations from Europe, North-Africa, Western-Asia and the Americas. All participants were asked for their mental wellbeing (SWEMWS) and depressive symptoms (SMFQ) with regard to “during” and “before” home confinement. Results Analysis was conducted on the first 1047 replies (54% women) from Asia (36%), Africa (40%), Europe (21%) and other (3%). The COVID-19 home confinement had a negative effect on both mental-wellbeing and on mood and feelings. Specifically, a significant decrease (p < .001 and Δ% = 9.4%) in total score of the SWEMWS questionnaire was noted. More individuals (+12.89%) reported a low mental wellbeing “during” compared to “before” home confinement. Furthermore, results from the mood and feelings questionnaire showed a significant increase by 44.9% (p < .001) in SMFQ total score with more people (+10%) showing depressive symptoms “during” compared to “before” home confinement. Conclusion The ECLB-COVID19 survey revealed an increased psychosocial strain triggered by the home confinement. To mitigate this high risk of mental disorders and to foster an Active and Healthy Confinement Lifestyle (AHCL), a crisis-oriented interdisciplinary intervention is urgently needed.

Abstract:
Background Mental health is a critical and neglected public health problem for adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper we aim to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and the association with HIV risk behaviours in adolescents aged 15–19 years in Zambia and SA. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey from August-November 2017 in seven control communities of HPTN 071 (PopART) trial (a community-randomised trial of universal HIV testing and treatment), enrolling approximately 1400 eligible adolescents. HIV-status was self-reported. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ), with a positive screen if adolescents scored ≥12. We fitted a logistic regression model to identify correlates of depressive symptoms with subgroup analyses among those who self-reported ever having had sex, by gender and country. Results Out of 6997 households approached, 6057 (86.6%) were enumerated. 2546 adolescents were enumerated of whom 2120 (83.3%) consented to participate and were administered the SMFQ. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 584/2120 (27.6%) [95%CI: 25.7%-29.5%]. Adolescents in SA were less likely to experience depressive symptoms (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 0.63 (95% CI: 0.50, 0.79), p-value<0.0001). Female adolescents (AOR = 1.46 (95% CI: 1.19, 1.81), p-value<0.0001); those who reported ever having sex and being forced into sex (AOR = 1.80 (95% CI: 1.45, 2.23), p-value<0.001) and AOR = 1.67 (95% CI: 0.99, 2.84); p-value = 0.057 respectively) were more likely to experience depressive symptoms. Among 850 (40.1%) adolescents who self-reported to ever having had sex; those who used alcohol/drugs during their last sexual encounter were more likely to experience depressive symptoms (AOR = 2.18 (95% CI: 1.37, 3.47); p-value = 0.001), whereas those who reported using a condom were less likely to experience depressive symptoms (AOR = 0.74 (95% CI: 0.55, 1.00); p-value = 0.053). Conclusion The prevalence of depressive symptoms among adolescents ranged from 25–30% and was associated with increased HIV-risk behaviour.

Abstract:
Att bedriva internationell verksamhet är ett omtalat fenomen då vi idag handlar mer med andra delar av världen, lär oss fler nya språk och reser längre bort än förut. Internationalisering har blivit allt viktigare för tillväxten av företag och det ses som en ofrånkomlig överlevnadsstrategi som bidrar till värdefulla erfarenheter och användbart lärande. Företag anpassar sin verksamhet till internationella miljöer genom ett innovativt, proaktivt och ett risksökande beteende vilket sträcker sig utanför den egna nationens gränser. De senaste decennierna har inneburit att världen dramatiskt har förändrats och därigenom även det ekonomiska samhället. Den globala marknaden har ändrat synen på landsgränser och geografiska avstånd vilket har lett till att världen numera är mer integrerad. Förändringar har också skett genom den teknologiska revolution som pågått en längre tid. Revolutionen har medfört att företag mer effektivt kan använda information, kommunikation, tillverkning och transport i arbetet med att anpassa sina produkter till utländska marknader. De företag som är mest anpassningsbara på internationella marknader är små och medelstora företag (SMF). Genom sin flexibilitet är de skickliga på att hitta nya internationella affärsmöjligheter. Dessa SMFs är ofta fokuserade på nischmarknader med specifika produkter som därigenom skapar efterfrågan runt om i världen. För små och medelstora företag är den internationella marknaden oerhört viktig och i Sverige har en av fyra SMFs internationella aktiviteter. Vårt syfte med denna studie har varit att identifiera och förstå SMFs internationaliseringsbeteende genom att besvara frågan: Hur har internationaliseringsprocessen gått till för tillverkande små och medelstora företag? I vår slutsats kom vi fram till att båda fallföretagen internationaliserat sig genom export och att de sedan investerat i dotterbolag på utvalda marknader. Företagen har till största del gått utomlands genom proaktiva motiv i strävan mot en högre lönsamhet. Enligt vår mening gick det inte att enhetligt beskriva fallföretagens utlandsetablering genom någon av internationaliseringsmodellerna. Vi förklarar istället processen genom att sammanlänka delar av dessa teorier till olika aspekter i deras internationalisering. Något som visade sig vara relevant i vår undersökning var betydelsen av nätverk i verksamheten och att entreprenörens roll i företaget hade stor betydelse för internationaliseringsprocessens utseende. Anledningen till att internationaliseringen skett på olika sätt har till stor del berott på den kunskap och erfarenhet som entreprenören och företaget besuttit vid dess utlandsetablering.

Abstract:
A modular plastic hinge seismic special detail has been developed for use in steel special moment frames (SMFs). The aim of the special detail design is to dissipate seismic energy through stable yielding of a beam "link" in plastic hinge region. Reliable and repeatable energy dissipation at high ductility is assured through the elimination of weld failure modes, and the mitigation of local buckling and high multi-axis restraint. A casting process is used to configure the modular detail directly to meet these performance objectives. The primary features of the link region are an isolated flange with an integrally cast stiffener and a reduced section isolated web. Two forms of the detail exist: a plastic hinge modular node (PH-MN) and a bolted alternative, the bolted plastic hinge connector (BPHC). The PH-MN, a "node" occupying the entire beam-to-column joint, was used to develop the concept. The PH-MN configuration removes the field weld from the critical cross-section, reduces triaxiality and eliminates through-thickness failure modes at the beam/column interface. The BPHC preserves the primary features of the PH-MN and provides performance at nearly the same efficiency, but, as a replaceable field-bolted component, is significantly more economical, improves modularity, and has certain practical advantages. A design procedure was developed to create a family of modular designs.

Abstract:
Internationaliseringen sker i en takt den aldrig gjort förut. Detta har skapat en ny sorts världsmarknad kännetecknad av tuff konkurrens. Den internationella marknaden har en karaktär som bidrar till att små och medelstora företag förr eller senare, i strävan efter bättre prestation, kommer att söka sig till utländska marknader. Detta med avsikt att tillvarata nya möjligheter där de kan utnyttja sina kärnkompetenser över ett större antal marknader. Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur små och medelstora företag etablerar sig samt förändrar sin verksamhet på en tillväxtmarknad. Vidare analyserar vi varför behovet av att byta etableringssätt uppstår och hur bytet påverkar företagets engagemang och prestation. Avslutningsvis dras slutsatser kring hur små och medelstora företag hanterar sin etableringsprocess på tillväxtmarknader. För att uppfylla syftet har vi arbetat efter en kvalitativmetod och tillämpat en flerfallsstudie där vi intervjuat sex stycken företag i sydöstra Sverige. Den teoretiska referensramen omfattar olika internationaliseringsstrategier, etableringssätt och förändringsagenter, samt teorier om byte av etableringssätt, engagemang och prestation. Det empiriska kapitlet presenterar resultatet av information insamlad från intervjuerna med fallföretagen. Kapitlet är strukturerat efter företagen samt de tre delproblemen som utformats. I analysen kopplas det teoretiska ramverket ihop med det empiriska materialet och analyseras utifrån hur företagen etablerat och fortsatt utveckla sin etableringsprocess på tillväxtmarknaden. Vidare analyseras hur deras verksamhet påverkas av ett etableringsbyte. I slutsatsen kan vi konstatera att fallföretagen väljer att initialt etablera sig på en tillväxtmarknad genom att använda direkt export och tenderar att fördjupa sitt engagemang vid ett etableringsbyte. Vidare dras en slutsats angående att ett fördjupat marknadsengagemang leder till bättre prestation för företagen. Slutligen presenteras förslag för vidare forskning.

Abstract:
To explore the application of a cognitive test useful in screening of Exhaustion Disorder (ED), this study aimed to develop a Modified Stroop Task for ED. Participants’ scores on measures of burnout, anxiety, depression and stress were compared with performance on the task. The sample consisted of 56 participants (M=25.3 years), 30 women and 22 males, with the majority enrolled in fulltime higher education. The task consisted of five blocks with 100 stimuli in each block. The task was administered on a computer; upon completion of the task participants completed questionnaires measuring levels of burnout, anxiety and depression, as well as perceived stress. Raw scores on the task were calculated using a format comprised of both response times and number of errors. Data were analysed by comparing mean scores on the Stroop blocks using one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Additionally, median splits were undertaken on the scores on the questionnaires to enable between group comparisons using MANOVAs. The results showed no significant differences between high and low scores on the questionnaires and performance on the task. A Stroop interference effect was observed and there was a tendency that high exhausted participants performed worse than less exhausted participants. In conclusion the Modified Stroop Task offers some promise, although as of yet it cannot be assumed to be an accurate modification of an Emotional Stroop Task, due to limitations regarding the method; preliminary findings may serve as a pilot test for future research.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In today’s increasingly competitive global market it’s important for small to medium sized enterprises to be effective enough to be able to outperform their competitors. Lean manufacturing is a well-established philosophy on how to achieve a more efficient production. Lean was developed by Toyota and has its main focus on both trying to identifying what activities in a productions process that adds value and how to eliminate non value adding activities, also known as waste. Bigger enterprises usually has sufficient financial resources to afford a Lean implementation and by doing so increasing their efficiency. In the meanwhile, small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) might lack both financial resources and know-how and instead has to relay on experience. Some SMEs might also feel that they are satisfied with the situation they are currently in and there might not be an initiative to change. This report will use Lean concepts such as Value stream mapping and 5S and try to use them in order to achieve higher efficiency in a small to medium sized manufacturing enterprise. To show this a case study is conducted where the concepts, in theory, might have positive results on the efficiency of the manufacturing line of a certain product family.
SAMMANFATTNING Den rådande marknaden, med ständigt ökande global konkurrens, kräver att små och medelstora företag behöver prestera väl. En etablerad filosofi för att nå en mer effektiv produktionsprocess är Lean; Konceptet utvecklades av Toyota och är centrerat runt vad som tillför värde i produktionen, och eliminering av slöseri.Företag med större resurser har råd att göra satsningar på att omarbeta sin produktion med mål att öka effektiviteten; mindre företag förlitar sig på expertis som förvärvats under åren, en aktuell produktion revideras kanske inte, då företagen upplever att den fungerar eller att resurser saknas.Den här artikeln kommer att använda sig av Value stream mapping(VSM) och 5S som bas för att implementera och uppnå en mer resurseffektiv produktion hos ett företag. För att undersöka effekterna av dessa metoder utfördes en fallstudie, där områden identifierades för användning av 5S; och en VSM utfördes inom en specifik produktionskedja. Resultaten påvisade att en teoretisk implementering av dessa två metoder kan leda till en resurseffektivare produktion.

Abstract:
Bakgrund och Syfte: Tidigare forskning visar att kostnadsreducering och behov av extern kompetens varit framträdande motiv till varför företag outsourcar ekonomifunktionen. Däremot efterlyses mer forskning som fokuserar på SMF-företag och vad det är som motiverar dem att välja outsourcing. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att öka förståelsen för SMF-företagens motiv att outsourca ekonomifunktionen med avseende främst på kostnader och kompetens. Metod: Studien antar ett hermeneutiskt och socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Forskningsansatsen är abduktiv och i studien tillämpas en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod då den empiriska datainsamlingen sker med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Den teoretiska referensramen bygger på tidigare forskning och den empiriska sammanställningen bygger på kategorier som framkommit under intervjuerna. Studien inspireras av grundad teori eftersom en ny empirisk synvinkel presenteras och analyseras tillsammans med övrig teori och empiri. Slutsats: Studien tyder på att SMF-företag inte reflekterar över kostnadsreducering som ett motiv till att outsourca ekonomifunktionen. För SMF-företag finns behov av extern kompetens och expertiskunskaper, vilket motiverar dem att välja outsourcing. Studien uppmärksammar också ett nytt främsta motiv till outsourcing av ekonomifunktionen; trygghet. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Till vidare forskning finns ett behov av att undersöka mer grundligt trygghet som ett främsta motiv till outsourcing av ekonomifunktionen. Eftersom studien utgår från SMF-företag som anlitar en outsourcingpartner, föreslår vi till vidare forskning att undersöka outsourcing av ekonomifunktionen utifrån både företag som anlitar och som anlitas för att vidga synen på fenomenet. Studiens bidrag: Ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv bidrar denna studie med att belysa trygghet som ett främsta motiv till varför SMF-företag outsourcar ekonomifunktionen. Ur ett praktiskt perspektiv ges rådet till redovisningsbyråer att med fördel fokusera sin marknadsföring kring trygghet när de riktar sig till SMF-företag, främst små företag.

Full text
Abstract:
In metro and long haul networking applications, Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) are used to amplify weak optical signals. Manufacturing of EDFAs is primarily a fusion splicing process in which both Single Mode Fibers (SMFs) and Erbium Doped Fibers (EDFs) are utilized. One of the critical operations is the splicing of an SMF to an EDF, a dissimilar fiber splicing process. Splice losses between these fibers need to be optimized, and the process is highly reliant on the properties of the EDF. Mode Field Diameter (MFD), spectral attenuation at peak wavelength and concentration of erbium along its length vary from batch to batch. The splice loss is dependent on some of these properties and must be taken into consideration. With this background, research was conducted to study the properties of EDFs and its applicability in the splicing process. Having considered the characteristics of the EDF in different wavelength regions, experiments were designed to optimize the losses between an SMF and an EDF. In the C-band (1525–1565 nm), erbium atoms absorb most of the transmitted power (in absence of a 980/1480 nm laser pump). Splice losses measured in these regions are dependent upon the absorption properties and would not depict a true picture of the splice loss. Since the incident power is absorbed, an alternate approach would be to launch extremely low power (&lt;−27 dBm). In this case, the absorption losses should be minimal. As C-band is highly absorptive, launching power in the range of 1310 nm would be another possible scenario. The ‘cutback’ method was also employed to determine the losses in the C-band region. Statistical methods such as the Design of Experiments (DOE) were used to study the properties of the EDF and its response to various splicing parameters and wavelengths. Splice loss trends at various power levels were also investigated. The primary intent of these experiments was to translate the results and their utility into the manufacturing of EDFAs, wherein a multitude factors creep into the splicing scenario. The best method would be the one that consistently yields a low splice loss, since these are critical to minimize the noise figure of the EDFA.

Abstract:
Sintered metal fiber (SMF) diesel particulate filters (DPF) systems efficiently remove particulate matter (PM) emission from diesel engine exhaust with low flow resistance. The permeability of DPF filtration media is the key property determining DPF fuel penalty to the engine. To advance the understanding and optimization of SMF filtration media, a general model to compute SMF media permeability based on 3D digital structure from computed tomography scan (CT-Scan) is developed in this study. An open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM, is used to calculate the SMF porous media permeability. The media samples computation domain is approximately 0.9mmx0.9mmx1.8mm (depth) and one hour is needed for each simulation with 8–9 million mesh cells. The study reveals variations of permeability among different SMF media samples. The computed permeability from the 3D simulation has a good agreement with experiment data and achieves a much better accuracy than previous analytical models. In addition, through this study, a significant amount of in-depth information of flow field across the porous media is obtained, which is beneficial to improve the understanding of DPF fibrous media and builds the foundation for more advanced filtration model development.
