Abstract:
Based on the fact that the human-animal bond has existed through recorded history and researchers are now beginning to explore humans' reactions to its loss, this study attempts to answer the following questions: Does human attachment to a pet vary with age/stage of development? Does grief vary by age/stage of development? Does the length and intensity of grief change if the loss was anticipated or sudden? The purpose of this study is to understand attachment and bereavement/loss in children and adolescents as compared to adults. The “Pet Attachment Survey,” the “Grief Experience Inventory,” and “Questions for Each Person in the Study” were the instruments used in this study. The participants included 106 children, 57 adolescents, and 270 adults who had lost their pets within a twelve-month interval. The findings suggest that children and adolescents have similar attachments to their pets. Children grieved more than adults in this study. Anticipated grief partially helped participants to allay the grief response.

Abstract:
This is a report of a qualitative, content analysis of 100 “Lost Pet” notices. The aim of the study was to identify what literary techniques people employed to express their loss given a highly diverse public that may, or many not, be sympathetic to expressions of grief over pets. Four notice types were identified: The simple public notice [impersonal] (20%); the simple public notice [personalized] (55%); the personal appeal notice (21%) and; the owner's story notice (4%). The relationship between these styles of writing and public sanctions against open grief are discussed. Directions for future research are identified.

Abstract:
Every year, approximately 3% of cats and dogs are lost. In addition to passive methods for identifying pets, radiofrequency tracking devices (TDs) are available. These TDs can track a pet’s geographic position, which is transmitted by radio frequencies. The health risk to the animals from continuous exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) was reviewed. Fourteen out of twenty-one commercially available TDs use 2G, 3G, or 4G mobile networks, and the others work with public frequencies, WLAN, Bluetooth, etc. The exposure of pets to RF-EMFs was assessed, including ambient exposure (radios, TVs, and base stations of mobile networks), exposure from indoor devices (DECT, WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.), and the exposure from TDs. The exposure levels of the three areas were found to be distinctly below the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reference levels, which assure far-reaching protection from adverse health effects. The highest uncertainty regarding the exposure of pets was related to that caused by indoor RF-emitting devices using WLAN and DECT. This exposure can be limited considerably through a reduction in the exposure time and an increase in the distance between the animal and the RF-emitting device. Even though the total RF-EMF exposure level experienced by pets was found to be below the reference limits, recommendations were derived to reduce potential risks from exposure to TDs and indoor devices.

Abstract:
Pets are present in half of the homes across Portugal. However, little is known about the husbandry, opinion, and information needs of Portuguese pet owners. Thus, the objective of this work was to clarify this information providing the basis for suggesting potential improvements. Responses were collected through an online survey, including inhabitants from different regions of Portugal (n = 111). Cats and dogs are the most popular pets and the majority are adopted, fed commercial diets, live indoors, are vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for external parasites, and occasionally visit the veterinary practice. Portuguese owners are interested in improving their pet’s health, and would like to learn more about welfare, health assessment, and diet from veterinarians. However, microchip and municipal registration are often overlooked. Lack of adoption from animal shelters as well as expectations over the cost of veterinary practice were other difficulties identified in this study. Strategies for the improvement of pet health and welfare in Portugal were proposed as improving the perception of the value and importance of veterinary care, reducing the number of lost and abandoned pets, and improving awareness and education. Thus, Portuguese stakeholders and authorities must take the required measures to improve these issues.

Abstract:
The uptake of monoamines into the secretory granules of monoamine-storing neuroendocrine cells is mediated by vesicular monoamine transporter protein 1 or 2 (VMAT1 or VMAT2). This study analyzed the expression of VMAT1 and VMAT2 in endocrine cells of normal human and monkey pancreas. The expression of VMAT1 and VMAT2 was also examined in infants with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and in adults with pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs). Using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH), we demonstrated the mutually exclusive expression of VMAT1 in endocrine cells of the duct system and of VMAT2 in many cells of the islets of Langerhans. By confocal laser scanning microscopy, VMAT1-positive cells were identified as enterochromaffin (EC) cells and VMAT2-positive cells as β-cells. In PETs, VMAT1 was found exclusively in all serotonin-containing tumors. In contrast, VMAT2 expression was lost in many insulinomas, independent of their biological behavior. VMAT2 was expressed by some non-insulin-producing tumors. The mutually exclusive expression of VMAT1 in EC cells and of VMAT2 in β-cells suggests that both cell types store monoamines. Monoamine storage mediated by VMAT1 in EC cells is apparently maintained in EC cell tumors. In contrast, many insulinomas appear to lose their ability to accumulate monoamines via VMAT2.

Abstract:
The effectiveness of showing animal images compared to displaying human models in advertisements and the effectiveness of using animals for further marketing instruments such as brand names, mascots, logos, product packaging designs, slogans, and product shapes has rarely been investigated in the academic research. Moreover, the characteristics of the animals used (e.g., species, pose, age, and beauty) for creating effective advertising have been ignored to date. This lack of research is surprising because many companies use animal images for promoting their brands and products. Our findings indicate that advertising practice can benefit from showing animals instead of human models. In particular, we recommend using animals in advertising as follows. Both pets and undomesticated animals are found to be superior to human models in eliciting positive emotions such as pleasant surprise and happiness/joy. Furthermore, they are advantageous in evoking pleasant feelings of entertainment. If advertisers aim to induce such positive affective states in consumers, they should consider using animal images. Famous examples of this strategy are the commercials entitled “Buster, the Boxer” promoting John Lewis and “Lost Puppy” promoting Budweiser beer. The animals’ cuteness additionally positively influences feelings of entertainment. If the advertiser aims to enhance message credibility, we recommend using images of pets instead of depictions of undomesticated animals. Although we recommend using animals in advertising and in particular cute animals (infantile animals or cute species) and pets, we advise practitioners to be careful when showing animals as role models. People easily link and compare themselves to images of role models and might feel insulted. Therefore, we recommend against using animals such as the retailer Netto did in its “Netto Cats” commercial.

Several lepidopteran species infest developing panicles. Larval identification is challenging and time intensive, so current recommendations are often simplified by treating all larvae equally across species. Consequently, the yield-loss model developed for corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) by Buckley and Burkhardt (1962) has been the foundation for management recommendations in modern sorghum Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs for the last 49 years. Additionally, although pest populations primarily include both fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and corn earworm, only a single species damage estimate is used in economic threshold (ET) and economic injury level (EIL) calculations despite multi-species infestations. This research demonstrates both the validation of current management recommendations for corn earworm and the verification of previously assumed damage potentials for fall armyworm feeding in developing sorghum panicles. These results have important implications for sorghum producers faced with making a management decision for multi-species infestations.

Abstract:
In this research the experience of pet loss in relation to the intensity of grief and the repression of that grief due to societal restrictions was studied in a South African sample of 12 pet owners who had experienced the loss of a pet within 24 months prior to the study. A pilot study was conducted in order to refine the semi-structured interview schedule. Participants were asked about their pets, their experience of pet loss in relation to their feelings before and after the loss and whether they felt they could openly grieve around friends and family. The findings indicated that the intensity of grief experienced by the participants was influenced both by the intensity of their Bond with the pet and the repression of their grief due to assumed social sanctions surrounding mourning the loss of a pet. The findings from the study clearly indicate the necessity for pet loss counselling, however it was clear that societal views surrounding pet loss are shifting, thus allowing pet owners to mourn their loss more openly with family and friends. This indicates a decrease in cases of disenfranchised and complicated grief. Furthermore the impact of pet loss necessitates the social legitimation and acknowledgment of the significance of pet loss in contemporary society as these relationships with pets are an increasingly prominent feature both within and as an alternative to familial systems.

Abstract:
Several potential pathways exist for significant nitrogen loss from nitrogen fertilizer applied to winter wheat in Virginia. A number of materials have been previously identified which inhibit steps in one or more of these loss pathways. Ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium thiosulfate, dicyandiamide, potassium chloride, and monoammonium phosphate were chosen for use in the present study. They were mixed, singly and in combinations, with UAN solution or urea solution and spring top-dressed on soft red winter wheat. Experiments were conducted over two growing seasons at two locations each season. Nitrogen uptake was measured in mid-season and yield measured at harvest. In the second season, field measurement of ammonia volatilization was performed in the experiment utilizing urea solution. Addition of monoammonium phosphate significantly reduced volatilization from urea solution applied to winter wheat at both locations; however, weather conditions were such that total volatilization was low in this season, and the reduced losses were not reflected in increased nitrogen uptake or yield. None of the treatments significantly increased yield in any experiment, nor consistently increased mid-season nitrogen uptake.

Abstract:
El presente estudio es de tipo cuantitativo, no experimental de diseño descriptivo correlacional y de corte transversal; el objetivo del presente estudio consistió en conocer la relación entre el autoconcepto y el vínculo que existe entre el niño (a) y su mascota en un grupo de 181 niños de ambos sexos (51.9% hombres, 48.1% mujeres) que pertenecieron al tercer (n = 64) , cuarto (n = 58) y quinto grado de primaria (n = 59) provenientes de dos colegios privados de Lima. Los participantes tenían edades de entre 7 y 13 años (M = 9.7, DE = 1.01) de los cuales 152 tenían un perro como mascota. Los integrantes respondieron al Cuestionario de Autoconcepto para Niños (Váldez-Medina, González, López, & Reusche, 2001) y la Escala de Vínculo con la Mascota (Schencke & Farkas, 2012). Con relación a las variables psicológicas, se encontró que el autoconcepto positivo y el vínculo con la mascota presenta una correlación positiva y no significativa (r = .13). En cuanto al autoconcepto negativo y el vínculo con la mascota presenta una correlación negativa y no significativa (r = -.10). Se discuten los resultados en función a la correlación entre los ítems con las dimensiones de Autoconcepto Positivo y Autoconcepto Negativo, en donde se encontró que existe una relación positiva entre el autoconcepto positivo y las conductas asociadas al cuidado de la mascota, así como también entre el autoconcepto positivo y la frecuencia con la que el niño le hace cariño a su mascota. Por último, se encontró una relación positiva y significativa entre el autoconcepto negativo y el número de hermanos que posee el niño.
The present research is a quantitative, non-experimental study of descriptive correlational and cross-sectional design, which objective is to explore the relationship between self-concept and the bond between the child and his/her pet in a group of 181 children of both sexes (51.9% male, 48.1% female) that belonged to the third (n = 64) , fourth (n = 58) and fifth grade (n = 59) from two private schools in Lima. The participants were between the ages of 7 and 13 years old (M = 9.7, DE = 1.01) of which 152 had a dog as a pet. Participants responded to the Self-concept Questionnaire for Children (Váldez-Medina, González, López, & Reusche, 2001) and the Companion Animal Bonding Scale (Schencke & Farkas, 2012). Regarding the psychological variables, it shows that positive self-concept and pet bonding have a positive but not significant correlation (r = .13). As for the negative self-concept and pet bonding, it was found that it has a negative but not significant correlation (r = -.10). The results are discussed according to the correlation between the items and the positive and negative self-concept dimensions, where it was found that there is a positive relationship between the positive self-concept and the behaviors associated with pet care, as well as between the positive self-concept and the frequency with which the child cares for his pet. Finally, a positive and significant relationship was also found between the negative self-concept and the number of siblings the child possesses.

Abstract:
El objetivo de esta investigación es explorar las representaciones mentales del vínculo humano-animal en adultos responsables del cuidado de mascotas caninas quienes pertenecen al sector socioeconómico medio limeño. Para tal propósito, desde el paradigma cualitativo, se utilizó un diseño fenomenológico a partir de un grupo heterogéneo, ubicado dentro de los tres estadíos del desarrollo humano adulto propuestos por Papalia et al. (2012). Los participantes oscilan entre 21 y 65 años, siendo los dueños y responsables totales de una mascota donde reconocen la existencia de un vínculo significativo, el cual tiene una duración mayor a dos años. Para recoger la información se utilizó la técnica de entrevista conversacional y guía conversacional. Los resultados evidenciaron que la mascota representa una figura de apego, que corresponde a una base segura caracterizada por los principios que rigen al vínculo humano-animal de Katcher(1993). Esta representa una fuente de apoyo y comprensión significativa en momentos de estrés y angustia, así como también influencia positivamente en el autoconcepto de los dueños al sentirse valorados, reconocidos y útiles. Este vínculo es capaz de impulsar la capacidad de agencia reflejado en emprendimientos en los participantes, así como resultar terapéutica, al facilitar el tránsito de experiencias de pérdidas. No obstante, fantasear con la pérdida de la mascota conlleva a proyectar sentimientos de tristeza, malestar e ira depositadas en las conductas del animal, percibiendo que esta pérdida podría desembocar una depresión. Esto revela cuán importante es comprender el vínculo humano-animal en nuestra sociedad, pues puede impactar desarrollando síntomas y padecimientos psicológicos.
The objective of this research is to explore the mental representations of the human-animal bond in adults responsible for the care of canine pets who belong to the middle socioeconomic sector of Lima. For this purpose, from the qualitative paradigm, a phenomenological design was used from a heterogeneous group, located within the three stages of adult human development proposed by Papalia et al.(2012). The participants range between 21 and 65 years, being the owners and total responsible for a pet where they recognize the existence of a significant bond, which lasts more than two years. To collect the information, the conversational interview and conversational guide technique was used. The results showed that the pet represents an attachment figure, which corresponds to a secure base characterized by the principles that govern the human-animal bond of Katcher (1993). This represents a source of significant support and understanding in times of stress and anguish, as well as a positive influence on the owners' self-concept by feeling valued, recognized and useful. This bond is capable of boosting the agency capacity reflected in entrepreneurship in the participants, as well as being therapeutic, by facilitating the transit of experiences of loss. However, fantasizing about the loss of the pet leads to projecting feelings of sadness, discomfort and anger deposited in the behavior of the animal, perceiving that this loss could lead to depression. This reveals how important it is to understand the human-animal bond in our society, as it can impact developing symptoms and psychological ailments.

Abstract:
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo investigar acerca de la disposición a reciclar botellas de plástico PET en la generación de los Millennials, considerando algunas variables externas como agentes influenciadores de esta disposición. Dichos factores externos, para esta tesis, son los hábitos en el hogar, en el centro de trabajo y las redes sociales. La muestra con la que se ha trabajado es de 364 personas del rango de edad de 18 a 37 años, considerados dentro de la generación Millennials, de diferentes distritos de Lima Metropolitana y Callao y además que se encuentren laborando en la actualidad. Estos filtros fueron necesarios considerarlos para poder validar las variables externas seleccionadas en este estudio. Algunos aspectos demográficos como la edad, el distrito de residencia, el nivel de estudios alcanzando, entre otros, también han sido considerados, ya que pueden influir en la disposición de reciclar botellas de plástico PET en la generación ya mencionada. Todos los aspectos que se han mencionado anteriormente, han sido desarrollados en la presente tesis. La finalidad de este trabajo es promover una cultura de reciclaje, la cual es fundamental para mitigar los impactos negativos que genera el plástico en el medio ambiente. Este estudio, se ha centrado en el reciclaje de botellas de plástico PET, el motivo principal es que existe un incremento considerable en el consumo de productos envasados en PET, lo cual se ha generado porque las empresas del rubro alimenticio y de bebidas, principalmente, ha optado por usar PET para sus envasar sus productos. Las características de este insumo como la alta maleavilidad, transparencia y alta resistencia a la corrosión y desgaste han hecho que sea calificado como el más apto para envasar alimentos y bebidas destinados al consumo humano (Cisneros & Sánchez, 2014). Asimismo este trabajo se ha enfocado en un segmento específico de personas, la generación Millennials, ya que tiene más poder de difusión debido al fácil acceso que tienen en las redes sociales, un medio de comunicación, cada vez, más masivo.
The objective of this paper is to investigate the disposition to recycle plastic PET bottles in the generation of Millennials, considering some external variables as agents influencing this provision. These external factors, for this thesis, are the habits in the home, in the workplace and social networks. The sample with which we have worked is of 364 people from the age range of 18 to 37 years old, considered within the Millennials generation, from different districts of Metropolitan Lima and Callao and also who are currently working. These filters were necessary to consider them in order to validate the external variables selected in this study. Some demographic aspects such as age, district of residence, level of studies reaching, among others, have also been considered, as they can influence the disposition to recycle PET plastic bottles in the aforementioned generation. All the aspects mentioned above have been developed in this thesis. The purpose of this work is to promote a culture of recycling, which is fundamental to mitigate the negative impacts generated by plastics in the environment. This study has focused on the recycling of PET plastic bottles, the main reason is that there is a considerable increase in the consumption of products packed in PET, which has been generated because the companies of food and beverages, mainly, has chosen to use PET to package their products. The characteristics of this input such as high malleability, transparency and high resistance to corrosion and wear have made it qualified as the most suitable for packaging food and beverages intended for human consumption (Cisneros & Sánchez, 2014). Likewise, this work has focused on a specific segment of people, the Millennials generation, since it has more diffusion power due to the easy access they have in social networks, a means of communication, each time, more massive.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembled polyelectrolyte multilayered nanoparticles were developed as a technique for targeted and controlled release of enzyme breakers. Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) were assembled by means of alternate electrostatic adsorption of polyanions and polycations using colloidal structure of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) as LbL building blocks. High enzyme concentrations were introduced into polyethyleneimine (PEI), a positively charged polyelectrolyte solution, to form an electrostatic PECs with dextran sulfate (DS), a negatively charged polyelectrolyte solution. Under the right concentrations and pH conditions, PEMs were assembled by alternating deposition of PEI with DS solutions at the colloidal structure of PEI-DS complexes. Stability and reproducibility of PEMs were tested over time. This work demonstrates the significance of PEMs as a technique for the targeted and controlled release of enzymes based on their high loading capacity, high capsulation efficiency, and extreme control over enzyme concentration. Entrapment efficiency (EE%) of polyelectrolyte multilayered nanoparticles were evaluated using concentration measurement methods as enzyme viscometric assays. Controlled release of enzyme entrapped within PEMs was sustained over longer time periods (> 18 hours) through reduction in viscosity, and elastic modulus of borate-crosslinked hydroxypropyl guar (HPG). Long-term fracture conductivity tests at 40℃ under closure stresses of 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 psi revealed high fracture clean-up efficiency for fracturing fluid mixed with enzyme-loaded PEMs nanoparticles. The retained fracture conductivity improvement from 25% to 60% indicates the impact of controlled distribution of nanoparticles in the filter cake and along the entire fracture face as opposed to the randomly dispersed unentrapped enzyme. Retained fracture conductivity was found to be 34% for fluid systems containing conventional enzyme-loaded PECs. Additionally, enzyme-loaded PEMs demonstrated enhanced nanoparticle distribution, high loading and entrapment efficiency, and sustained release of the enzyme. This allows for the addition of higher enzyme concentrations without compromising the fluid properties during a treatment, thereby effectively degrading the concentrated residual gel to a greater extent. Fluid loss properties of polyelectrolyte multilayered nanoparticles were also studied under static conditions using a high-pressure fluid loss cell. A borate-crosslinked HPG mixed with nanoparticles was filtered against core plugs with similar permeabilities. The addition of multilayered nanoparticles into the fracturing fluid was observed to significantly improve the fluid- loss prevention effect. The spurt-loss coefficient values were also determined to cause lower filtrate volume than those with crosslinked base solutions. The PEI-DS complex bridging effects revealed a denser, colored filter cake indicating a relatively homogenous dispersion and properly sized particles in the filter cake.

Abstract:
Lentil is one of the important pulse crops in the world with a high proportion of easily digestible protein. However, there are several pests and pathogens which cause losses during crop growth, harvesting and post-harvest storage. Microwave processing has shown great potential to eradicate pests and pathogens from grains; however, there is still concerns about its heat uniformity, which is of crucial importance in pest and pathogen control. Fluidization using forced hot air is one of the potential solutions for having uniform temperature during microwave processing. In this study, a single mode microwave cavity, with a 2.45 GHz microwave source, was modified to have a microwave fluidized bed and used to evaluate its potential to eliminate the Botrytis grey mold (BGM) pathogen, which is one of the important seed-borne pathogens of lentil crops in Australia. Air speed was maintained to be constant during the experiment and was just enough to fluidize 100g of red lentils in the sample holder. Two wet based (w.b.) seed moisture contents (m.c.) of 10.5% and 18.5% were prepared and the process parameters were selected as: air temperature at 50 and 60°C; microwave power at 0, 300, 400 W for 18.5% m.c. and 0, 400, 500 W for 10.5% m.c.; and exposure times of 5 and 10 min. These parameters were chosen to reach the final temperature of below 70°C. The effect of process parameters on seed moisture loss, seed germination, electrical conductivity of seed soaking water and percentage of infected seeds (IS%) were analyzed using general factorial regression and analysis of variance. The results showed that the most effective factors on moisture loss, after seed moisture content, was exposure time, followed by microwave power and air temperature. While final bed temperature was affected mostly by air temperature, and then by microwave power. Furthermore, based on general full factorial regression and pareto chart of standardized effects, moisture content had by far the most influence on the reduction of IS%. Seed pathogen inoculum reduction, without significant seed viability loss, was obtained by applying microwave power of 300W and set air temperature of 60°C (actual inlet air temperature of 57±1°C) on seeds with m.c. of 18.5% for 10 min. This gave a 27% reduction in IS% (from 82% to 55%).

Abstract:
Pest birds have long been a significant source of crop loss for grape growers, especially during the critical weeks leading up to harvest when grape sugar levels are high. In Oregon’s Willamette Valley, vineyards have seen a marked increase in crop loss in the last few years despite widespread use of intrusive gas cannons/shotguns and expensive netting systems. In order to deter this pest bird population, we have created an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) package capable of autonomous flight, which incorporates common pest bird scare tactics into this dynamic platform. The system has been designed to launch, complete its mission waypoints, and land completely under autonomous control. By using this autonomous guidance system, we are able to employ visual, auditory, and predator mimicry pest bird control techniques in such a way as to discourage habituation. While radio controlled UAVs have been used for bird control in airport settings for many years, these systems require a trained operator to constantly guide the aircraft. The autonomous UAV system was designed for operation by an existing vineyard employee with minimal training. To capture widely accepted pest bird control techniques and management culture of Willamette Valley vineyards and gain information for design, implementation, and industry acceptance of this UAV project, we surveyed the owners of 225 local vineyards. Survey results indicated that vineyard owners are open to implementing innovative pest bird control methods that do not affect the terroir of their vineyards and that could replace the use of netting, which they do not view favorably despite its being the most effective pest bird control method to date. Results also indicated that pest birds are most damaging to a vineyard’s perimeter and that many vineyards employ someone to patrol this perimeter with a shotgun loaded with cracker shells. The UAV system is able to traverse the airspace above this perimeter without interfering with neighboring homes or beneficial predators in the area. By using proven pest bird control methods in an autonomous UAV system, we designed a device that brings an innovative solution to vineyard owners.

Abstract:
The purpose of our study was to develop biological methods to protect soybean from pests. Lepidoptera is believed to be one of the most numerous groups of insects in this crop. As a conservative estimate, 20 species of Lepidoptera were found in soybean agrocenosis; the greatest damage to Glycine max L. caused Etiella zinkinella Tr. 1832 and Helicoverpa armigera Hb. 1805. It was shown that not less than 500 m distance of crops from the main reserve of pests – robinia and the use of early ripening varieties provided the minimum loss of bean yield (no more than 0.9 – 1.9%). The use of biological preparations based on B. thuringiensis – lepidocide and bitoxybacillin allowed reducing beans and seeds damage by pests by 20-30%.

Abstract:
The ablation behavior of amorphous (polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC)) and crystalline (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and glass filled poly(butylenes terephthalate) (PBT)) polymers by 248 nm KrF excimer laser irradiation were investigated for different injection molding conditions namely, injection flow rate, injection pressure, and mold temperature, as a possible method to evaluate the processing effects in the specimens. For this purpose, dumb-bell shaped samples were injection molded at different sets of processing conditions, and weight loss measurements were carried out for the different injection molding conditions. Some of the crystalline (PET) samples were annealed at different annealing time and temperature. For PET, weight loss decreased with increasing mold temperature and remained insensitive to injection flow rate. Annealing time and temperature significantly reduced weight loss in PET. For PBT, the weight loss due to laser ablation reduced with increase in material packing due to pressure, and also showed some sensitivity to flow rate variation. The major effect was seen with glass filled PBT samples. The weight loss decreased drastically with increasing glass fiber content. Laser ablation allowed observation of process induced fiber orientation by SEM in PBT samples. For PS and PC, the weight loss increased with increases in the injection flow rate and mold temperature, and decreased with increasing injection pressure. Position near the gate showed higher ablation than the position at the end for all the conditions. A decrease in the material orientation, with injection speed and mold temperature, led to increase in the weight loss, while increase in the injection pressure, and consequently orientation, led to lower weight loss for PS and PC. Higher residual stress samples showed higher weight loss.

Abstract:
Non-axisymmetric end wall profiling is now a well established design methodology in axial flow turbines, used principally to improve their aerodynamic efficiency by reducing secondary loss. However, profiled end walls (PEWs) have yet to find an in-service application in a gas turbine compressor. This two-part paper presents the results of a number of studies, both experimental and computational, into the potential aerodynamic benefits of applying PEWs in axial flow compressors. The second paper describes an investigation into PEWs as a means of suppressing stator hub corner stall. An in-house design optimisation system (SOPHY) was applied to a typical embedded stator row in a multi-stage HP compressor. This enabled a new PEW geometry to be defined which is shown to be an effective alternative to 3-D aerofoil shaping in controlling stator hub corner stall. The results of this new study and of the work described in the first paper have been combined in a further investigation. PEWs were applied to an HPC with purely 2-D blading, which exhibited extensive stator hub corner stall at off-design conditions. CFD analysis showed that stator hub corner stall was successfully suppressed by the PEWs. It is concluded that PEWs can significantly affect the end wall flow field and have similar effects on corner stall as 3-D blading. The potential for improving the performance of axial flow compressors using PEWs is discussed. To successfully achieve any such improvements, extensive computational resources that are dedicated to design optimisation will be required.

Abstract:
Black and turkey vultures cause problems in several ways. The most common problems associated with vultures are structural damage, loss of aesthetic value and property use related to offensive odors and appearance, depredation to livestock and pets, and air traffic safety. Management of these diverse problems often can be addressed by targeting the source of the birds causing the problem, namely the roost where the birds spend the night. Often the roost itself is the problem, such as when birds roost on a communication tower and foul the equipment with their feces or when they roost in a residential area. Several methods are available for roost dispersal. Vultures are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and are managed by the federal government. Vultures may be harassed without federal permits, but can be killed only after obtaining a Migratory Bird Depredation Permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. State wildlife agencies may require state permits prior to killing migratory birds.
