Abstract:
The performance of ten high-flow Bird blenders (3M Company) was assessed to ascertain the stability of the oxygen delivery both over time and within a single respiratory cycle. Blended oxygen concentrations were assessed for both continuous low flow and for intermittent flow with variable tidal volumes as is seen with mechanical ventilation. Studies were repeated after the addition of a high flow bleed from the blender via a T-piece. We observed clinically significant variations in the oxygen concentrations delivered by several blenders when the relationship between air and oxygen supply pressures varied. This variability was greatest when the air and oxygen pressures were nearly equal. When the line pressures were stable, mixed oxygen concentrations were constant but variations in oxygen delivery were found within individual breath cycles. This could be explained by postulating that at the initiation of flow from the blender a small pocket of unblended gas (pure air or pure oxygen) was issued by the blender before the balancing mechanism stabilised to deliver the desired oxygen concentration. This variability of oxygen delivery may have considerable impact on the measurement of oxygen consumption using the open circuit technique. The addition of a high flow bleed completely ablated this blender-derived variation in oxygen delivery.

Abstract:
Computer graphics is developing dynamically in various spheres of human life. Paying attention to the high dynamism of the world around us, the issue of optimizing the process of video, animation, character, advertising, avatar, etc. creation is becoming increasingly important. The graphic product requires the fastest production process without paying attention to the fact that it is a development of a feature film, a commercial project of various scales or a project of 10 frames. The analysis of the main achievements of specialists in the field of computer graphics revealed different approaches to the organization of graphic projects. In specialist’s works, attention is paid to the principles of graphic conveyors of major studios and film companies. The purpose of this work is to present recommendations for the organization of the process of developing a short video series by one person, taking into account the automation of the relevant stages of work, on the example of a video of social advertising. To implement this task, the scheme of the project workflow was proposed, where the main stages of creating graphic content are marked, the relevant software and selected parts of the workflow such as preproduction, production and postproduction. The following software tools were selected for the project implementation: Z-Brush, Blender, Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects. The analysis of the development algorithm showed the critical points of the scheme, which reduce the speed of the project. To avoid this, it was proposed the technique of "pipeline". As a result of research the methodologies of the graphics pipeline organization was raised, and the beneficial effects of reliable workflow management were illustrated. A visual and detailed form of presentation of the creating a graphic product stages using the "pipeline" technique will help increase the level of knowledge among beginners.

Abstract:
Cardanol-based novolac-type phenolic resin was synthesized with a mole ratio 1.0:0.5 of cardanol-to-formaldehyde using a dicarboxylic acid catalyst such as succinic acid. The cardanol-based novolac-type phenolic resin may further be modified by epoxidation with epichlorohydrin excess at 393 K in a basic medium to duplicate the performance of such phenolic-type novolacs. Carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN) has been studied by various researches with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DEGBA) epoxy resin and epoxidized phenolic novolac resins. The epoxidized novolac resin was blended with different weight ratios of carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN) and cured with a stoichiometric amount of polyamine curing agent. The formation of various products during the synthesis of cardanol-based novolac resin, epoxodized novolac resin and blending of epoxidized novolac resin with CTBN has been studied by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis. Further, the products were confirmed by a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopic analysis. The number average molecular weight was determined by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis. The blend sample, having 15 wt % CTBN concentration showed minimum cure time and most thermally stable systems.

Abstract:
Since the skin is the major protective barrier of the body, it is affected by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Environmental influences such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, pollution or dry/cold air are involved in the generation of radical oxygen species (ROS) and impact skin aging and dermal health. Assessment of human skin gene expression and other biomarkers including epigenetic factors are used to evaluate the biological/molecular activities of key compounds in cosmetic formulas. The objective of this study was to quantify human gene expression when epidermal full-thickness skin equivalents were exposed to: (a) a mixture of betaine, pentylene glycol, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Rhodiola rosea root extract (BlendE) for antioxidant, skin barrier function and oxidative stress (with hydrogen peroxide challenge); and (b) a mixture of Narcissus tazetta bulb extract and Schisandra chinensis fruit extract (BlendIP) for various biomarkers and microRNA analysis. For BlendE, several antioxidants, protective oxidative stress biomarkers and many skin barrier function parameters were significantly increased. When BlendE was evaluated, the negative impact of the hydrogen peroxide was significantly reduced for the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP 3 and MMP 12), the skin aging and oxidative stress biomarkers, namely FBN2, ANXA1 and HGF. When BlendIP was tested for cell proliferation and dermal structural components to enhance the integrity of the skin around the eyes: 8 growth factors, 7 signaling, 7 structural/barrier function and 7 oxidative stress biomarkers were significantly increased. Finally, when BlendIP was tested via real-time RT-PCR for microRNA expression: miR-146a, miR-22, miR155, miR16 and miR21 were all significantly increased over control levels. Therefore, human skin gene expression studies are important tools to assess active ingredient compounds such as plant extract blends to advance dermal hypotheses toward validating cosmetic formulations with botanical molecules.

Abstract:
The lack of appropriate software causes many problems in school reality. These problems have two origins. Firstly, many schools cannot afford to buy specialized software, and secondly, even if the classrooms are equipped with appropriate software, it is not possible to use it when the student is at home. The problem becomes very serious when we talk about content that requires a large number of hours of the student's own work, or we are doomed to work remotely. This is exactly the situation when we deal with animation and editing of audio-video material. This article introduces to use of Blender open source in 2D animation with Blender Grease Pencil and Blender Video Editing. The proposed solutions do not entail any financial costs due to the fact that BLENDER open source 3D creation suite is a free program with moderate hardware needs.

Abstract:
Polymer-fullerene blend systems have found relevance and application in a number of fields including organic photovoltaic devices. While synthesizing new materials with desirable electronic properties is essential to designing better photovoltaic devices, it is equally important to understand the complex phase morphology of these blends and its effect on device performance. Consequently, this knowledge could be used to further design new materials and device architecture for more efficient systems. In particular, this dissertation focuses primarily on the morphology in a series of amorphous as well as semi-crystalline polymer-fullerene blend systems both in bulk and thin films and its relation to device performance. Scattering based techniques have been used to determine in-plane and out-of-plane phase morphology. Morphological parameters derived from these studies have shown possible correlation between fullerene segregation and device performance values. The results of these studies have been used to synthesize a thermo-cross-linkable fullerene acceptor having slower diffusion through the polymer, allowing better control of the polymer-fullerene blend morphology. Consequent effects have been studied on device lifetime and thermal stability and have shown significant improvements

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is becoming an essential tool for the design of engineering systems due to the inherent coupling between discipline analyses and the increasing complexity of such systems. An important component of MDO is effective exploration of the design space since this is often a key driver in finding characteristics of systems which perform well. However, many design space exploration techniques scale poorly with the number of design variables and, moreover, a large-dimensional design space can be prohibitive to designer manipulation. This research addresses complexity management in trade-space exploration of multidisciplinary systems, with a focus on the conceptual design of Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft. The objectives of this thesis are twofold. The first objective is to create a multidisciplinary tool for the design of BWB aircraft and to demonstrate the performance of the tool on several example trade studies. The second objective is to develop a methodology for reducing the dimension of the design space using designer-chosen partitionings of the design variables describing the system. The first half of this thesis describes the development of the BWB design tool and demonstrates its performance via a comparison to existing methods for the conceptual design of an existing BWB configuration. The BWB design tool is then demonstrated using two example design space trades with respect to planform geometry and cabin bay arrangement. Results show that the BWB design tool provides sufficient fidelity compared to existing BWB analyses, while accurately predicting trends in system performance. The second half of this thesis develops a bi-level methodology for reducing the dimension of the design space for a trade space exploration problem. In this methodology, the designer partitions the design vector into an upper- and lower-level set, wherein the lower-level variables essentially serve as parameters, in which their values are chosen via an optimization with respect to some lower-level objective. This reduces the dimension of the design space, thereby allowing a more manageable space for designer interaction, while subsequently ensuring that the lower-level variables are set to "good" values relative to the lower-level objective. The bi-level method is demonstrated on three test problems, each involving an exploration over BWB planform geometries. Results show that the method constructs surrogate models in which the sampled configurations have a reduction in the system objective by up to 4 % relative to surrogates constructed using a standard exploration. Furthermore, the problems highlight the potential for the framework to reduce the dimension of the design space such that the full space can be visualized.

Abstract:
While the studio environment has been promoted as an ideal educational setting for project-based disciplines, only a few comprehensive qualitative studies of the design studio have been undertaken; even fewer emphasise educator and student perceptions of this environment. As highlighted in this study, such a situation is problematic given the changes and challenges facing higher education, including those associated with new technologies such as online learning. This study responds to this need for a comprehensive study of the studio environment by adopting Grounded Theory methodology in a qualitative comparative way. It explores the limitations and benefits of a face-to-face design studio and virtual design studio as experienced by architecture students and educators at an Australian university in order to better understand the potential of a blended environment to maximise learning. The main outcome is a holistic multidimensional blended learning model that, through the various modalities, provides adaptive capacity in a range of settings. The model facilitates learning through self-determination, self-management, and the personalisation of the learning environment. Another outcome–a conceptual design education framework–provides a basic tool for educators to evaluate existing learning environments and to develop new learning environments with enough flexibility to respond effectively to a highly dynamic and increasingly technological world.

Abstract:
A study of the controlled combustion of blends of biomass materials and coals was conducted. Crushed limestone was added to the blends as an absorbent for sulfur oxides. The samples were combusted in quartz-fiber crucibles in a forced air furnace. Combustion at different times and temperatures were studied. The amount of carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur in the residues, as well as the amount of ash formed, were used as measures of combustion efficiency. The optimum temperature for combustion of most blends was found to be in the 700 - 800°C range. A study of methods for determining the amounts of inorganic and organic carbon in combustion residues was performed. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Method D 1756 for inorganic carbon yielded accurate results but is tedious and requires a great deal of skill. An alternative method for determining inorganic carbon in combustion residues was developed.

Abstract:
Many Americans have a variety of small kitchen appliances. Among this collection a blender is typically present. The diversity of the blender selection is great and can range from economical to industrial quality. However, the average American is not in need of an industrial blender and leans more towards the economical approach. In addition, depending on the individual, a blender can go months unused. Therefore, environmental effects of a blender are mainly due to material extraction, manufacturing, distributing, and disposal. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there are no formal life cycle analysis (LCA) studies of a blender published in the literature. This paper describes a LCA of two economical blenders from the same manufacturer. This allows for a direct comparison between the LCAs to determine how the design changes and materials used contribute to environmental effects.

Abstract:
Kerosene-type fuels are the most common aviation fuel, and an understanding of their combustion properties is essential for achieving optimized gas turbine operation. Presently, however, there is lack of experimental flame speed data available by which to validate the chemical kinetic mechanisms necessary for effective computational studies. In this study, premixed jet fuel surrogate blends and commercial kerosene are studied using particle image velocimetry in a stagnation flame geometry. Numerical simulations of each experiment are obtained using the CHEMKIN-PRO software package and the JetSurF 2.0 mechanism. The neat hydrocarbon surrogates investigated include n-decane, methylcyclohexane, and toluene, which represent the alkane, cycloalkane, and aromatic components of conventional aviation fuel, respectively. Two blends are studied in this paper. The first is a binary blend formulated to reproduce the laminar flame speed of aviation fuel using a mixing rule based on the laminar flame speed and adiabatic flame temperature of the hydrocarbon components, weighted by their respective mixture mole fractions. The second blend is a tertiary blend formulated to emulate the hydrogen to carbon ratio of the kerosene studied. All of the considered fuels and blends are studied at three equivalence ratios, corresponding to lean, stoichiometric, and rich conditions, and at several stretch rates. The centreline axial velocity profiles from numerical simulations are directly compared to the measured velocity profiles to validate the mechanism at each condition. The difference between the experimental and simulated reference flame speed is used to infer the true unstretched laminar flame speed of the mixture. These results allow the effectiveness of the different blending methodologies to be assessed.

Abstract:
This paper reports the results of a study to determine a ternary blend of oxygenated additives for reduction in smoke emissions in diesel engines. Initial studies on binary blends established twenty percent (by volume) n-butanol-diesel blend (B20) as the base fuel. Subsequently observations were taken with Nitromethane (NM)-n-butanol-diesel blends. It was observed that binary blends are not able to reduce smoke and other emissions beyond the optimum blending ratio (B20). Also, Cetane Number of binary blends was found to be lowered due to poor Cetane Number of n-butanol. It is therefore necessary to add another additive which helps in reducing smoke substantially and improve Cetane Number of blend without affecting the other parameters. The study found that blending of one percent of NM by volume gives best results for smoke reduction. The overall effect of this ternary blend is to reduce the smoke and NOx up to 69.76% and 5.4% respectively. It is concluded that NM-n-butanol-diesel blend would be a potential fuel for smoke reduction in diesel engines.

Abstract:
Due to the danger of depletion of world petroleum reserve and environmental concerns the “Philippines Biofuels Act of 2006” (Republic Act No. 9367) was established to develop and strengthen the use of local sustainable fuels, particularly the use of Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) biodiesel blends in the country. As of 2015, with respect to biodiesel in the Philippines only 2% of biodiesel is required to be blended in commercially available fuels. The National Biofuels Board of the Philippines is planning to increase the percentage of the blend within the next 5 years however only few studies are conducted to prove the effectiveness of the increase in percentage. Also in pursuant to “Philippine Clean Air Act of 2009” (Republic Act No.8749) The Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) issued an administrative order with regards to the implementation of EURO 4/IV Emission Limits within the country. This study investigates the influence of various CME Biodiesel blends in a light duty automotive CRDi engine without any engine modifications through evaluation of performance and emission characteristics, The emission characteristics will be also be investigated if it meets the EURO 4/IV emission limits set by DENR. Five fuel blends B2 (2% CME, 98% Neat Diesel), B5 (5% CME, 95% Neat Diesel), B10 (10% CME, 90% Neat Diesel), B15 (15% CME, 85% Neat Diesel) and B20 (20% CME, 80% Neat Diesel) were used and their results is compared to B0 (Neat). This will also The tests were performed at the University of the Philippines Vehicle Research and Testing Laboratory at steady state conditions, a naturally aspirated water cooled four cylinder Common Rail Direct Injection Diesel (CRDi) engine, with varying speeds from 800 to 4000 RPM at an interval of 400 RPM while maintaining the throttle 100% wide open. As a result of the investigation at typical engine speed range (1200–2400 RPM) no significant differences for biodiesel blends vs. neat diesel were observed for torque, power, CO2 and NOx emissions. However, a decrease of HC and CO was observed. Meanwhile, at 2800–4000 RPM, an increase in torque, power, CO2 and NOx, but no significant differences in HC and CO emissions. However, the engine does not normally run at the higher speed range (1800–2400 RPM) for a long period of time. With respect to biodiesel blends, torque, power, CO2, and NOx emissions generally increase with increasing biodiesel blend, while CO and HC emissions generally decreased with increasing biodiesel blend.

Abstract:
An organic compound, Dioxane, is blended to reduce the viscosity of raw vegetable oil (Mahua). A dilute blend was prepared by mixing with raw vegetable oil (Mahua) and 10% dioxane in volume basis. Tests were conducted on a single cylinder, water cooled, DI diesel engine coupled with the eddy current dynamometer. Emissions like HC, NOX, etc., were measured by using gas analyzer and smoke density was measured by using smoke meter. The cylinder pressure, heat release rate were measured by combustion analyzer. From the experimental investigation, it was observed that operating at a blend ratio of 10% diesel-80% mahua oil-10% Dioxane significantly reduced the HC and NOx emissions when compared to diesel fuel. It was also observed, the variation of break thermal efficiency is almost same to that of diesel fuel. Hence, it can be concluded that raw vegetable oil (mahua) with Dioxane blend could partially replace the diesel, as a fuel.

Abstract:
Abstract This research examines the use of 75nm Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (Nano ZnO) and Polyethylene Butene (PEB) in reducing the viscosity of Nigerian waxy crude oil. The rheology of the crude oil was studied by measuring the viscosity and shear stress of crude samples contaminated with varying concentration of PEB (500ppm, 1000ppm, 2000ppm, 3000ppm, 4000ppm and 5000ppm), varying concentrations of Nano ZnO (1wt%, 2wt%, 3wt% and 4wt%) and different blends of PEB and Nano ZnO at temperatures of between 10°C to 35°C and shear rates from 1.7 to 1020s-1. From Rheological Modelling analysis conducted, the Power law pseudoplastic model was the best fit for the experimental data with a regression coefficient of 0.99. Analysis of crude sample before addition of inhibitor showed evidence of non-Newtonian fluid behaviour as the shear stress-shear rate relationship curves were nonlinear due to wax precipitation at low temperatures (10°C to 15°C). The waxy crude demonstrated shear thinning behaviour with increasing shear rates (increasing turbulence) and the viscosity reduced with increasing temperature. The addition of inhibitors (PEB, Nano ZnO and their blends) effected Newtonian fluid behaviour in the crude samples as the shear stress-shear rate relationship curves were linear at all temperatures under study. The optimum concentration of the inhibitors in this study is 2000ppm PEB (causing 33% viscosity reduction) and 1wt% Nano ZnO (effecting 26% viscosity reduction). The best concentration of the blend was 2000ppm PEB blended with 1wt% Nano ZnO which effected a viscosity reduction of 41%. The research demonstrates the novel application of the blend of Nano ZnO and PEB in improving flowability of Nigerian waxy crude oil especially in offshore conditions with prevailing cold temperatures.

Abstract:
The properties of polymer blends are largely determined by their morphology. So it is significant to investigate the morphology development of polymer blends during processing. In this work the morphology development of polymer blend was studied during flow along a single screw extruder. The polymer blend used incorporated polypropylene (PP) as its matrix phase and a high-viscosity or low-viscosity polyamide-6 (PA6) as the disperse phase. The samples of blends were taken from different positions using specially designed sampling device along the extruder online during the processing and were then examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology of the dispersed phase was quantitatively analyzed using image analysis software. The morphology evolution of blends along the melt conveying zone of screw was simulated. Theoretically predicted morphology evolution is in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The aim of this work is to provide a better insight in the morphology development of blend during processing.

Abstract:
It can be difficult to burn relatively cheap, poor quality, unprepared biomass materials in industrial heating processes because of their variable composition, relatively low calorific values and high moisture contents. Consequently the stability and efficiency of the combustion process can be adversely affected unless they are co-fired with a hydrocarbon support fuel. There is a lack of information on the “optimum” conditions for co-firing of coal and high moisture biomass as well as on the proportions of support fuel which should be used. This paper is therefore concerned with the pilot scale (<25 kW thermal input) fluidised bed combustion of blends of coal with pressed sugar beet pulp, a solid biomass with an average moisture content of 71%. The experimental work was undertaken in collaboration with British Sugar plc who operate a coal-fired 40 MW thermal capacity fluidised bed producing hot combustion gases for subsequent drying applications. The project studied the combustion characteristics of different coal and pressed pulp blends over a wide range of operating conditions. It was found that stable combustion could only be maintained if the proportion of pulp by mass in the blended fuel was no greater than 50%. However evaporation of the moisture in the pressed pulp cools the bed so that the excess air which is necessary to maintain a specified bed temperature at a fixed thermal input can be reduced as the proportion of biomass in the blended fuel is increased. Therefore, with a 50/50 blend the bed can be operated with 20% less fluidising air and this will be beneficial for the output of the full scale plant since at present the flow rate of the air and hence the amount of coal which can be burnt is restricted by supply system pressure drop limitations. A further benefit of co-firing pressed pulp is that NOx emissions are reduced by about 25%. Agglomeration of the bed can be a problem when co-firing biomass because of the formation of “sticky” low melting point alkali metal silicate eutectics which result in subsequent adhesion of the ash and sand particles. Consequently longer term co-firing tests with a 50/50 blended fuel by mass were undertaken. Problems of bed agglomeration were not observed under these conditions with relatively low levels of alkali metals in the ash.

Abstract:
Moths constitute a major group of pest insects in agriculture. Pheromone blends are utilised by a variety of moth species to attract conspecific mates, which is under circadian control by the neurohormone, PBAN (pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide). Our working hypothesis was that, since the emission of sex-pheromone is necessary to attract a mate, then failure to produce and emit pheromone is a potential strategy for manipulating adult moth behavior. The project aimed at identifying, characterising and determining the sequence of specific receptors responsible for the interaction with pheromonotropic neuropeptide/s using two related moth species: Helicoverpa armigera and H. lea as model insects. We established specific binding to a membrane protein estimated at 50 kDa in mature adult females using a photoaffinity-biotin probe for PBAN. We showed that JH is required for the up-regulation of this putative receptor protein. In vitro studies established that the binding initiates a cascade of second messengers including channel opening for calcium ions and intracellular cAMP production. Pharmacological studies (using sodium fluoride) established that the receptor is coupled to a G-protein, that is, the pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide receptor (PBAN-R) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)'s. We showed that PBAN-like peptides are present in Drosophila melanogaster based on bioassay and immunocytochemical data. Using the annotated genome of D. melanogaster to search for a GPCR, we found that some were similar to neuromedin U- receptors of vertebrates, which contain a similar C-terminal ending as PBAN. We established that neuromedin U does indeed induce pheromone biosynthesis and cAMP production. Using a PCR based cloning strategy and mRNA isolated from pheromone glands of H. zea, we successfully identified a gene encoding a GPCR from pheromone glands. The full-length PBAN-R was subsequently cloned and expressed in Sf9 insect cells and was shown to mobilize calcium in response to PBAN in a dose-dependent manner. The successful progress in the identification of a gene, encoding a GPCR for the neurohormone, PBAN, provides a basis for the design of a novel battery of compounds that will specifically antagonize pheromone production. Furthermore, since PBAN belongs to a family of insect neuropeptides with more than one function in different life stages, this rationale may be extended to other physiological key-regulatory processes in different insects.

Abstract:
The increased use of softer binders in Illinois over the past decade is primarily attributed to the increased use of recycled materials in asphalt pavement construction. The shift in demand of using PG 58-28 over PG 64-22 has resulted in potential alternative methods to produce softer binders more economically using proprietary products. However, there are challenges in using these proprietary products for asphalt modification because of uncertainty in their long-term performance and significant variability in binder chemistry. The current SuperPave performance grading specification for asphalt binders is insufficient in differentiating binders produced from these modifiers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of various softener-type asphalt binder modifiers using a wide array of rheological and chemistry tests for their integration into the Illinois Department of Transportation’s material specifications. The small-strain rheological tests and their parameters allowed for consistent grouping of modified binders and can be used as surrogates to identify performing and nonperforming asphalt binders. A new parameter, Δ|G*|peak τ, was developed from the linear amplitude sweep test and showed potential to discriminate binders based on their large-strain behavior. Chemistry-based parameters were shown to track aging and formulation changes. The modifier sources were identified using fingerprint testing and were manifested in the modified binder chemical and compositional characteristics. The two sources of base binders blended with the modifiers governed the aging rate of the modified binders. Mixture performance testing using the Illinois Flexibility Index Test and the Hamburg Wheel-Track Test were consistent with the rheological and chemical findings, except for the glycol amine-based modified binder, which showed the worst cracking performance with the lowest flexibility index among the studied modifiers. This was contrary to its superior rheological performance, which may be attributed to lower thermal stability, resulting in high mass loss during mixing. According to the characterization of field-aged binders, laboratory aging of two pressurized aging vessel cycles or more may represent realistic field aging of 10 to 15 years at the pavement surface and is able to distinguish modified binders. Therefore, an extended aging method of two pressurized aging vessel cycles was recommended for modified binders. Two different testing suites were recommended for product approval protocol with preliminary thresholds for acceptable performance validated with field-aged data.
