Abstract:
Gas stoves belong to the number of the most wide — spread domestic devices. Research activity concerning these appliances has been stopped in Ukraine some decades ago despite an increase of the natural gas using in municipal economy. Operation data, power efficiency characteristics and pollution indicators related to on air state by gas combustion in the living accommodation are regulated by the normative documents: national and international standards, regional technical (engineering) conditions of Ukraine, EU countries, Russia, USA, China and other states. Practically any gas stove is equipped with an atmospheric ejection burner. The principal characteristics of the gas burners, operation peculiarities peculiarities for the atmospheric burners are systematized and analyzed in the presented paper. The following qualitative and quantitative indicators of the atmospheric burners have been considered in this paper: the fuel types to be used (natural gas, liquefied gas), working gas pressure ahead of stove, nominal heat capacity, limit range of operation adjustment, noise by burner operation. Gas burning under the atmospheric burners operation makes the two-stage process. The physical background of the stable combustion have been considered along with the specific reasons and generalized criteria of the unstable combustions modes: flash-back, blow-off, appearance of the «yellow tips» in the flame. The atmospheric burners possess both the power and environmental advantages in comparison with the burners of total preliminary mixing of fuel gas and combustion air. Application of primary air excess lpr < 1.0, provides higher efficiency of the burners and need for lower gas pressure ahead of the domestic stoves while the two-stage combustion makes one of the principle techniques of environmentally benign combustion technologies. It has been shown that energetic experiences in ejection burners are proportional to the cube of the air access coefficient, in case of the atmospheric burners — are raised two the third power: ea ~ l3a,pr. An original methodology experimental researchers for the atmospheric burners of various design and of different companies — manufacturers has been proposed. The methods of the tests performing fully meet to Ukrainian norms and international standards. The computerized firing rig stand with a diagnostic facility has been created providing both power and environmental research of the atmospheric burners with definition of the boundaries of stable operation and breach the combustion stability. An example of the water heating thermogram within the test vessel has been presented providing an opportunity to evaluate the peculiarities of head transfer process by time and space for the system «atmospheric burner – the vessel to be heated and liquid to be boiled».

Abstract:
A low cost heat-conserving stove that uses palm waste briquette (substitute for fuel wood) has been developed. It has a furnace size of 400mm diameter and a height of 400mm with a 90mm inner cylindrical burner. The heating surface of the stove generated about 966 kilojoules of heat. A natural draught of 6m/s (efflux velocity) was used to determine the chimney size. The stove which was designed and fabricated mostly from 3mm low carbon steel (mild steel) material can accommodate different sizes of briquette for both domestic and industrial cooking. The air inlet has a regulating duct that controls the burning of the briquette. The burning rate of the palm waste briquette using the briquette stove was estimated to be approximately 3.0kg/hr. This value was found to be lower than values obtained when the same quantity of briquette was burnt in the open air. The technology is recommended for adoption by women preparing snacks (such as roasted yam. plantain and corn) in market places and along commercial roads.

Abstract:
This paper presents a review of the experimental design of the small-scale single stone column that adopts the unit cell concept. Materials and methods used in experiments along with their effects and implication have been appraised. The reviewed cases showed that clayey soils were often used to construct the host ground. Steel cylindrical tanks were used with diameters ranging from 15 to 60 cm and heights ranging from 20 to 120 cm. For such scale, the used stone size is 2 to 10 mm. Plates load test can be carried out on the entire tank or on the stone column. The load has been imposed at a constant settlement rate of 1 to 1.25 mm/min in order to simulate the stage immediately after construction. The review shows that remoulding and replacement have been often practised for the construction of the host ground and the stone column, respectively.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to derive and empirically test a theoretically grounded model of motivations (socializing, entertainment, self-expression, and information seeking) that lead to the use of Facebook Places. Store atmosphere factors (ambient, design, and social factors) were also investigated as moderators of the relationship between the motivation and use of Facebook Places. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a survey of 504 South Korean Facebook users, this research applies a structural equation modeling approach to test the research hypotheses. Findings – The analysis revealed that motivations such as socializing, entertainment, and self-expression influence the use of Facebook Places, and design factors moderate the relationship between the motivations and the use of Facebook Places. Practical implications – This study provide insights that can help Facebook and store owners develop effective marketing strategies that could increase revenue. When users check-in at a location it creates free word of mouth advertising. Thus, identifying the factors that motivate users to check-in at a particular location will be an important way to advertise. Originality/value – While uses and gratification theory has mainly been used to study mass media, this study applied the theory to Facebook Places, a type of social networking sites-based location-based services. Additionally, this study added store atmosphere elements as moderators, which is an appropriate concept in the context of the Facebook check-in service.

Abstract:
The causes of the fracturing of stone grills in barbecue ovens were analyzed using a coupled analysis model that combined combustion thermodynamics with heat conduction and the finite element method. The proportion of mixed air for combustion was simulated, and the stone grill plate temperature and thermal stress distribution were the two factors taken to enhance the design of stone grill plates. Moreover, thermal images were used to compare the performance of the original and the improved plates to quantify the improvements, and validate the accuracy of the simulations. The results showed that the temperature distribution was uniform across the stone grill plate. When comparing the simulation model and the actual experiment, the simulation model can generate an optimal design with fewer errors in a shorter period. The combustion tube is deemed to have considerable influence on the performance of the barbecue oven. The surface temperature distribution of the stone grill plate was improved by controlling the amount of fuel entering the combustion system and/or changing the material and shape of the stone grill. On the other hand, the analysis results of the improved stone grill plate in this study showed that we can correct the temperature difference and thermal stress difference caused by the opening of the upper cover of the oven. According to our study, the average thermal stress on the surface of the stone grill plate was effectively reduced by 45.3 MPa. The average temperature difference decreased by 91 °C. At the same time, by improving the intake position and method of the combustion tube, the air mass flow in the combustion tube increased by 12%, which effectively improved the combustion efficiency of the combustion tube. In particular, a more uniform distribution was achieved by decreasing the temperature of the mixed air entering the combustion tube, which in turn increased the flow rate and velocity of the air flowing through the top of the flame to the bottom surface of the stone grill plate. The strategies employed can prevent the thermal-stress-induced fracturing of stone grill plates and prolong their service life.

Abstract:
The design of the industrial port of Sepetiba, 50 km south of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, required a detailed evaluation of the underlying soft soil deposits. Initially, on the basis of laboratory tests, it was proposed to remove approximately 3.7 × 106 m3 of the very soft deposits in the stockpile area by dredging and substitute with hydraulic sand fill. Subsequently, in view of the cost of such a measure, a large program of field investigations was initiated to study the in situ characteristics of the soft clay to evaluate whether replacement of this material and (or) ground improvement was necessary. As part of this investigation, two large identically instrumented test fills (test fills B and D), each 65 m2 in plan and 5 m high, with 3:1 slopes were constructed. Test fill B was constructed over natural ground, whereas the subsoil beneath test fill D was treated with stone columns. The instrumentation for each test fill consisted of piezometers, deep settlement plates, surface settlement plates, and inclinometers. This paper provides a description of the field investigations, observations on installation of stone columns, analysis of instrumentation, a comparison of the behaviour of the two test fills, and a discussion on load tests on individual stone columns. Key words : case history, embankment, ground improvement, instrumentation, soft clay, stone columns.

Abstract:
Over the course of thirteen chapters authored by specialists of Roman history, Classics, Latin linguistics, papyrology, epigraphy and Medieval studies, this volume showcases samples of Latin writing in Greco-Roman antiquity and the early Middle Ages from a range of places across and on the margins of the Mediterranean world (Britain, Italy, North Africa, Visigothic Spain, among others). Central to the book is the basic question how uniform practices and regional expression manifest themselves in materials, scripts, layout and even language. In addition to parchment manuscripts and stone inscriptions, the contributions deal with Latin writing on papyrus, wood, ceramic sherds (called “ostraca”), metal and slate. They consider how regional factors might have affected preferences for some materials; how universal documentary practice adjusted to local habits; how the acquisition of Latin as a foreign language could be aided by and reflected in the layout and design of a text; how the origin of documents might be observed in script; and how space could enshrine and enhance text.

Augmented-reality technologies as a new way of human-computer interaction make possible real-time modification of our perception of reality without active user interference. This article introduces the prototype of an augmented-reality shopping-assistant device, the PromoPad, based on a handheld tablet PC allowing see-through vision with augmentations. While this new interaction utilizing augmented reality that places products into contextual settings can enhance shopping experience and suggest complementary products, it also has challenges and issues when used in a public environment such as a store setting. This article discusses the design and implementation of the PromoPad, and addresses the issues and possible solutions. The concept of dynamic contextualization is further investigated in this setting with a list of possible context modifications and their relation to advertising and the psychology of consumer purchasing.

Abstract:
The surveying of archaeological relics is a complex process in that it requires the combination of several previously defined representation techniques. The example of the Tipasa's nameless temple allows the evaluation of the rational and pertinent use of new means of surveying and representation requiring an architectural knowledge of the subject that helps orient the choice and combination of acquisition methods. In this case, two techniques were combined: topography for the general survey and georeferencing, and photogrammetry for the surveying of architectural details. The final result allows, firstly, for the design of a georeferenced, stone-by-stone survey of the relics at a scale sizable enough to grasp the general large-scale conception by recognizing and identifying the main elements which constitute the temple. Then the use of photogrammetry allowed the elaboration of a significant 2D and 3D database of the architectural elements necessary to identify of the type and order of the construction, and will contribute to the researches carried in North African places of worship.

Abstract:
Near field communication (NFC) is a new wireless connectivity technology that enables short-range communication between electronic devices. The operation of NFC is intuitive, making it easy for consumers to use. With built-in security, it has great potential for payment and financial applications. However, NFC is a relatively new technology and the related industries are still brainstorming for extensive applications to make it more marketable. Hence, the aim of our research is to design and build a working prototype for tourists using NFC and smart card. Undoubtedly, photo-taking is an integral part of every tourist’s holiday. However, it is noticed that pictures alone are often incomplete. People hardly remember the details of the places they have visited and find it a hassle to keep records of the attractions. Hence, it is more meaningful if digital photos have short descriptions attached with little effort. Another observation is that although it is often cheaper for tourists to purchase tour packages, it is a hassle to keep track of several tickets. Such inconvenience can be reduced with a single device that is able to store tickets electronically. With the above observation in mind, we propose an NFC system (HolidayPaL) that would benefit tourists so that they have more memorable holidays. Firstly, NFC tags will be placed at each attraction, storing relevant snippets of site descriptions. The tourists can then use their NFC-enabled cameras to input the descriptions, which will then be attached to relevant photos. Personal comments can be added later as well. Tourists can subsequently view the photos and captions using some photo-album software. These captions give tourists better understanding and more vivid memory of the heritage and culture of the places visited. Another feature of the proposed application is to use NFC devices to store electronic tickets. Tourists can purchase a package over the counter and transfer it to their handheld devices via NFC. Subsequently, they can just tap their NFC devices at the entrance of each attraction to gain admission. The proposed NFC application will benefit three groups of people: individual tourists, the tourism industry, and digital camera manufacturers.

Abstract:
The production and, most especially, the transportation of very large stones were always opportunities for spectacle in preindustrial times. The Egyptian obelisks in Rome as well as the Thunder Stone of St. Petersburg are outstanding examples of phenomenal efforts against gravity undertaken by Roman emperors or by Catherine the Great to demonstrate that imperial power and skilled engineering were at an apex. The largest ashlar blocks ever placed into a wall were set up in Baalbek, Lebanon. To move those megaliths, some 500 to 1,000 tons in weight, and to put them into place required highly experienced stone masons and complex machinery—a considerable technical challenge accompanied by spectacular scenes of transportation. Are the Baalbek megaliths, as well, witnesses of Roman power in the Levant? Or does the use of very large stones merely follow a structural rationale? This chapter aims to position the megalithism of Baalbek between design and construction and between skilled workmanship, architectural expression, and imperial power.

Abstract:
It is a striking fact that imperial peoples seem to have a powerful desire to commemorate the dead as grandly as possible. This was certainly true of the British Empire as some grandly overblown cemeteries in India and South-East Asia amply testify. This chapter discusses why this might be true – examining the influence of exoticism, a sense of heroic lives (often cut short since the exotic is also dangerous), a search for immortality, in some cases a desire for racial distancing, plus the fact that materials and labour were perhaps cheaper than at home. Some memorials, notably in cathedrals and churches, were however produced by some of the most notable sculptors of the day and were exported at considerable cost. As far as Scottish graves are concerned, it is an extraordinary fact that many families seem to have had a desire to commemorate the deaths of relatives overseas, even although their bodies were buried in distant places. Thus, a scattered family might be brought together on a single stone. This chapter is illustrated with examples of both these phenomena and discusses why diasporic imperial deaths were noticed so prominently.

Abstract:
Siberia is the Sleeping Land, a huge subcontinent barely awakened by the first nomads who arrived here uncounted millennia ago, and still, toward the end of the nineteenth century, so devoid of people that in much of it you could travel hundreds of miles in almost any direction and see no evidence that humans had ever existed. Yet the aim of Tsar Alexander III in committing Russia to carve the longest railroad in the world across this great nowhere was not primarily to provide an avenue for settlement by immigrants from overcrowded and often impoverished European Russia. A hundred years after the railroad’s completion, Siberia remains today one of the least-populated places on earth. No, the primary purpose was empire building. It was a way to gain better access to the region’s dazzling natural riches, which were the property of the tsar; to protect the eastern flank of the empire against Chinese and Japanese designs and provide a launching pad for Russia’s own designs to the east; and to bind together a string of Russian settlements flung out over a contiguous land mass larger than that ever claimed by any other single entity. To accomplish its goal of uniting Vladivostok on the Pacific with Moscow and then St. Petersburg on the Atlantic, Russia had to do something that nearly all engineers at the time judged impossible—carve a passable corridor through a continent’s worth of forest, bog, permafrost, stone, and swamp. The work was done by free peasants, imported labor, and prisoners wielding wooden shovels, specially designed machinery, dynamite to blast through permafrost, and bonfires to melt it. Workers had to contend with plague and cholera, searing arctic winters and blistering summers, and attacks by insects, tigers, and bandits. It took twenty-five years from the first felled tree to the last spike, it cost roughly a billion rubles all told, or perhaps as much as seven billion in today’s dollars, and by the time it was done in 1916, the empire was nearly bankrupt and on the verge of collapse. But to a large extent, the effort to bind together at least Russia itself, if not the larger empire, succeeded.

Abstract:
Islamism now dates back a hundred years. Concern over members of this political and religious movement relates to their putative and potential radical - or even violent – behavior when confronted with cultural otherness. Such behavior takes root in their assumed wish to redesign the world in their image. From its inception in the 1920s to its more recent manifestations, the Islamist movement strove to lift Muslim societies out of their alleged civilizational lethargy. In so-doing, it has paid substantial attention to the state of international affairs, as well as to potential ways to act on it. If the State remains undeniably Islamist movements’ privileged arena for action, considerations for Muslim countries’ environment; devising strategies aiming at the completion of a “motherland of believers” (al-oumma); thoughts on an interstate order within an Islamic frame of reference - remain prominent concerns to them. From its outset, Islamism has always insisted on the duty to serve religion as a whole - and thus everyone identifying with it. Its end goal therefore overrides geographical, historical and political borders – those being perceived as divisive and weakening the face of Islam. In addition, Islamists consider the current international order as one consciously designed by non-Muslims. In such views, the latter nurse an ontological enmity towards Islam because of its revisionist potential. The Arab revolutions initiated in 2010 have been experimental fields of the oppositional – even revolutionary – dimensions of Islamist ideology. These enable interrogations to be raised on Islamism’s practice and possible evolutions. In other words, how do Islamist movements translate fundamental diplomatic and relational principles into practice with other actors of the international system? If Islamist forces are indeed maintaining special relationships with the outside world mainly driven by the wish to shower the planet with Islam-serving behavior, is it however analytically relevant to identify a specific Islamist practice of international affairs? There are two objectives tied to this presentation. First, it will attempt to shed light on how Islamist activists, leaders and theorists view the world. In so-doing, Islamist speeches and intellectual output will be scrutinized. Then, answers will be provided to the following question: when Islamist officials have had the chance to approach national decision-making arenas - this is the case in some countries that have experienced the Arab Spring – how did they manage to put up a foreign policy agenda centered around an Islamic framework? This question is central for through it one can attempt to measure the empirical outreach of the Islamist ideology.

Abstract:
Abstract Accumulative knowledge on Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is imperative in society today because technology is ever expanding, opening doors for improved innovation that is more sustainable to our environment. TES has a multitude of uses; from simply boiling a kettle of water on a stove to more complex applications such as solar power generation. This research focuses on the application of a thermal energy storage unit introduced to a selected Phase Change Material (PCM) to undergo controlled experimentation. It helpful to gain understanding of how the TES unit will perform in a typical laboratory environment. A PCM is any substance capable of absorbing or releasing sufficient energy to undergo a phase transition. For specified purposes of this work was, the relevant states of matter liquid and solid; hence the use of a paraffin wax was the ideal for the experimental work model where the phase transition from solid to liquid occurs in a relatively low temperature. The objective of this work was determining the amount of energy that can be stored, and the power that can be generated by using paraffin wax. The setup of the experimental work for this project was consisting of a wax chamber, corrugated steel plates, and gaskets compressed within two plexiglass frames with an inlet and outlet. Tap water was used the medium of transferring thermal energy, and a JULABO heating unit was used to generate enough thermal energy for the steel plates. PCM was used to absorb the energy and transfer it to the cold water during the PCM transformation. A normal faucet was to provide cool enough water to lower the temperature within the system initiating the liquid to solid phase transition. Hoses was used to connect the main TES unit, JULABO unit, and faucet, as well as allowing flow throughout the system. Experiential work and calculation model results shows that the energy recovery was effected by flow rates, melting temperatures, and PCM. Other factors were considered in this work including mass, volume, density, specific heat, latency, turbulence flow, Reynolds number, limitations, and factor of safety. The results of this work can be used to get useful energy especially in isolated location such as desert, ships in occasion, and military locations.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to verify design of a slab tank. The slab tank is to store various criticality liquids used in today’s industry. The initial over all dimensions of the slab tank are determined from the capacity of the stored liquids. The design function is performed using the flat plate theory. The slab tank design is broken up into (a) two long side members, (b) two short side members, (c) top head, and (d) bottom head. It is supported from the bottom at a height by a rectangular plate enclosure. It is anchored at the rectangular plate enclosure. The deflection of the linear space is a critical requirement. Stresses are usually acceptable because the requirement is on the deflection. For vacuum condition the long side plates will deflect inwards. Flat plate equations are used to determine deflection and stress. For internal pressure condition the design pressure consists of working internal pressure plus static head pressure. For this the long side plates will deflect outwards. The heads are designed for internal pressure at the bottom where the pressure is the maximum. The designed dimensions are used to recalculate the stresses for the slab tank. The dimensioned slab tank is modeled using STAAD III finite element software. The stresses from the finite element software are compared to the stresses obtained from recalculated stresses obtained using flat plate theory. The difference in the stress values is explained. This paper’s main objective is to compare the flat plate theory to the finite element analysis. The design is found to be safe for the specific configuration considered.

Abstract:
The stove is as indispensable product in residences and at food service places. While there is a better application of a best design in these products, it occurs, still today a great amount of lesions and accidents on handling it, which could be due to various causes. Norris and Wilson (1997) have demonstrated the relevance of ergonomic evaluation methods as helping element on identifying “Designing Safety into Products”. They considered that the product must present an expected reasonable level of security for any person that has contact with it, but this security must be extended to further users, passers and even though avoiding a misuse. Lidwell (2010), also agreed with the concept that accidents caused by human errors, could be caused, instead, by design errors but not by human operation. Thus, facing this scenery of risks and accidents caused by domestic stove, we pursued deepen knowledge and methods to obtain perception risk data on using stove. The objective of this article is to survey information about the risk perception on domestic stove use, in order to discuss aspects of security and usability related to design guidelines.

Abstract:
A solar stove using a giant Fresnel lens has been developed in the Energy and Fuel Cell Laboratory at the University of Arizona. Solar tracking is required to control the Fresnel lens to maintain a stationary focal point on the heat transfer surface of the solar stove. A two-axis passive control system for solar tracking is adopted. Characteristics of the optical system are analyzed in order to find a reasonable tracking and adjustment frequency and overall system control accuracy. Defocus of the lens due to the angular offset (related to tracking resolution) of the lens’ axis versus the sunray and the change of the shape of the focal point on a static plate is calculated. The results of the analysis are used in the design of the control algorithm which has been implemented in the control system of the prototype solar stove. The proposed tracking scheme is expected to improve heat collection, thermal protection and thereby reduction of heat loss in the solar stove.

Abstract:
The importance of packaging design has been increasing in today’s competitive world. Approximately 70% of purchasing decisions are made in a store. Over 60% of purchasing decisions are based on packaging; the actual shopping is thus the final chance for the packaging to attract the buyer. Packaging has between 2 and 3 seconds to convince the buyer. In addition to the appearance of the individual packages, the appearance of brand packaging is important. We compared different designs of packages. Finally, we placed individual packages on the shelves in a store and carried out measurement of in-store noting. The measurements were carried out using eye tracking equipment (Tobii X120). For each participant, the observing time and the number of fixations in individual areas of interest were measured; both were then compared with heat maps. In this way, we compared the suitability of the form of individual packages and the salience of the packages on the shelves for potential buyers.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to reduce the stresses and deflection of an existing slab tank [2]. The slab tank is to store various criticality liquids used in today’s industry. The preliminary overall dimensions of the slab tank are determined from the capacity of the stored liquids. The slab tank design is broken up into (a) two long side members, (b) two short side members, (c) top head, and (d) bottom head. The slab tank is supported from the bottom at a height by a rectangular plate enclosure. The deflection of the linear space is a critical requirement. The deflection is controlled by providing external supports from the bottom at a height by adjustable bolts. The analysis of the slab tank showed excessive stresses at the concentrated supports. The slab tank was modified by providing reinforcement on the long side members. Several reinforcement arrangements were considered. The slab tank is subjected to two conditions. First, vacuum condition, the long side plates will deflect inwards. Second, internal pressure condition the design pressure consists of working internal pressure plus static head pressure. For this the long side plates will deflect outwards. The heads are designed for internal pressure at the bottom where the pressure is the maximum. The vacuum pressure is not critical. The dimensioned slab tank is modeled using STAAD III finite element software. The slab tank showed excessive stresses. The concentrated supports were removed. The long side member was reinforced by a Channel section. The slab tank analysis was simplified by modeling a single long side member and three cases of Channel section reinforcement were considered. The reinforced arrangement was analyzed by STAAD III finite element software. Further analysis by changing the Channel section by plate reinforcement was found to be better.

Abstract:
This paper introduces an analytical framework for predicting wave energy harvested by a circular piezoelectric layer from a harmonic point source excitation. The explored acoustic system analyzes a circular piezoelectric disk attached to an infinite host domain. An harmonic point source is located away from the piezoelectric disk on the infinite host layer. The analysis approach decomposes the system into two subdomains, the piezoelectric disk and an infinite plate, which are then separately analyzed. In contrast to traditional analysis methods for such systems (a sandwich of layers with different dimensions), this technique uses internal interaction forces between the different subdomains to find a close-form solution for the vibration of propagating waves over the entire field. In addition, the voltage generated by the harvester is calculated by using coupled electromechanical equations. The analysis is validated by comparing response quantities and frequency response functions at different points on the piezoelectric circular layer and host layers to those predicted using COMSOL simulations, which document good agreement. Analysis of this system is an important stepping stone to the next goal, which is optimization of energy captured from the propagating wave by designing boundary walls (reflector) on the host layer which focus the energy of the wave onto the piezoelectric domain. This focused energy can then be transferred to the electrical power by via a piezoelectric layer through an electrical circuit.

Abstract:
Abstract Design and manufacturing integration at the early design stage in product development, that is, the integration of conceptual design and conceptual process planning, may make a big impact. Thus the development of systematic computer-based support for this integration is desirable. To select and evaluate manufacturing processes, some aspects of form information is necessary. Thus when only the functionally critical forms have been determined from major functional requirements, synthesis of the configuration shape in a generic form would enable early assessment of manufacturing, processes. As a stepping stone toward the development of the configuration shape synthesis and process selection, case studies have been conducted using real world industrial parts. In this paper, we present the case studies using a planet carrier and a gear box housing, and discuss the issues in development of the shape synthesis and process selection method to support the design and process planning integration.

Abstract:
The annular area of the cylindrical oil storage tank is the part which is received the structural damage from the earthquake force. The design method of the foundation in this area is only to check the bearing pressure from the tank structure to the foundation. However, the deformation of annular plate and foundation are important value at the large earthquake. The safety of this area must be decided by the interaction of foundation and tank structure. This study examined the effect of foundation structure and material on the annular area of the tank by the finite element method. The result from this examination is showing that the crushed stone under the annular area of the tank is important to resist the earthquake force from tank structure.

Full text
Abstract:
In Illinois, hot-mix asphalt overlaid concrete pavements typically exhibit reflective cracking of joints and cracks from the pavement below, resulting in shortened life and maintenance issues. Over the years, various patching, fabric, and crack and seat techniques were attempted with few positive results. This led to more aggressive techniques to eliminate the slab action of the concrete pavement where the pavement would be broken or rubblized into pieces typically less than 12 inches. Since the first rubblizing project in 1990, policy, procedures, and specifications have evolved to the point that rubblization is the mainstream option in dealing with problematic concrete pavements. This report summarizes the performance of several interstate rubblizing projects in Illinois by analyzing available data in Illinois Department of Transportation’s pavement management system. Condition rating survey data allowed the serviceability of these projects to be evaluated by surface mix types and asphalt performance grades. Traffic in the form of 18,000 lb equivalent single axle loads was determined for the projects to evaluate fatigue and rutting as well as compare section performance to the design procedure. The research team reviewed plans, design procedures, and specifications to determine best practices and identify where improvements might be made. Data showed that the use of stone matrix asphalt surface mixtures and mixes using PGXX-28 asphalt binders provides improved performance. Overall, rubblizing has shown good to excellent performance. To provide additional life with improved performance, recommendations include adopting softer asphalt grades, increasing the use of stone matrix asphalt, and improving procedures for protecting culverts.

Full text
Abstract:
Most of the world’s remaining tropical forests lie in areas that are customarily managed and/or legally owned by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. In the context of climate change and global efforts to protect and enhance the capacity of forests to capture and store greenhouse gas emissions, the question of who owns the trees and the carbon stored therein is paramount. Clarifying this question is crucial, both for the future of the planet, and for up to 1.7 billion people worldwide who rely on forests for their livelihoods. This brief presents a review of the nominal progress made in the national-level laws and regulations that govern the carbon trade and define the rights of parties —across a sample of 24 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These countries collectively hold more than 50 percent of global tropical and subtropical forests. This brief also examines the design and establishment of safeguard mechanisms concerning benefit sharing, providing redress and resolution to disputes related to carbon-based schemes, and the operationalization of carbon registries for each of these countries.

Abstract:
In the past years, additive manufacturing (AM), also known as “3D printing,” has transitioned from rapid prototyping to making parts with potentially long service lives. Now AM provides the ability to have an almost fully digital chain from part design through manufacture and service. Web searches will reveal many statements that AM can help an organization in its pursuit of a “digital thread.” Equally, it is often stated that a digital thread may bring great benefits in improving designs, processes, materials, operations, and the ability to predict failure in a way that maximizes safety and minimizes cost and downtime. Now that the capability is emerging, a whole series of new questions begin to surface as well: •• What data should be stored, how will it be stored, and how much space will it require? •• What is the cost-to-benefit ratio of having a digital thread? •• Who owns the data and who can access and analyze it? •• How long will the data be stored and who will store it? •• How will the data remain readable and usable over the lifetime of a product? •• How much manipulation of disparate data is necessary for analysis without losing information? •• How will the data be secured, and its provenance validated? •• How does an enterprise accomplish configuration management of, and linkages between, data that may be distributed across multiple organizations? •• How do we determine what is “authoritative” in such an environment? These, along with many other questions, mark the combination of AM with a digital thread as an unsettled issue. As the seventh title in a series of SAE EDGE™ Research Reports on AM, this report discusses what the interplay between AM and a digital thread in the mobility industry would look like. This outlook includes the potential benefits and costs, the hurdles that need to be overcome for the combination to be useful, and how an organization can answer these questions to scope and benefit from the combination. This report, like the others in the series, is directed at a product team that is implementing AM. Unlike most of the other reports, putting the infrastructure in place, addressing the issues, and taking full advantage of the benefits will often fall outside of the purview of the product team and at the higher organizational, customer, and industry levels.
