Full textAbstract:
Carob is one of the major food trees for peoples of the Mediterranean basin, but it has also been traditionally used for medicinal purposes. Carob contains many nutrients and active natural products, and D-Pinitol is clearly one of the most important of these. D-Pinitol has been reported in dozens of scientific publications and its very diverse medicinal properties are still being studied. Presently, more than thirty medicinal activities of D-Pinitol have been reported. Among these, many publications have reported the strong activities of D-Pinitol as a natural antidiabetic and insulin regulator, but also as an active anti-Alzheimer, anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, and is also immune- and hepato-protective. In this review, we will present a brief introduction of the nutritional and medicinal importance of Carob, both traditionally and as found by modern research. In the introduction, we will present Carob’s major active natural products. The structures of inositols will be presented with a brief literature summary of their medicinal activities, with special attention to those inositols in Carob, as well as D-Pinitol’s chemical structure and its medicinal and other properties. D-Pinitol antidiabetic and insulin regulation activities will be extensively presented, including its proposed mechanism of action. Finally, a discussion followed by the conclusions and future vision will summarize this article.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the impact of tapioca starch concentrations on almond milk yoghurt-like products, aiming to enhance their physicochemical and sensory properties. Almond milk with varying tapioca starch levels (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%) underwent pasteurization, and development into yoghurt. The findings indicated that, among the variables examined, tapioca starch emerged as a significant factor influencing specific physicochemical properties, notably viscosity, whereas the fermentation period demonstrated less notable impact. While commercial dairy yoghurt exhibited superior texture attributes, tapioca starch did not significantly affect color or lactic acid bacteria viability. Almond milk yoghurt-like products with 3% tapioca starch showed improved texture but still lagged behind commercial dairy yoghurt in overall sensory acceptance. The study suggests further development is necessary to enhance almond milk yoghurt-like products' consumer acceptability.

Full textAbstract:
The global Muslim population is predicted to grow significantly. The market for Halal products, an obligation for Muslims, is expanding in sync with the Muslim population. Cancer is a notable cause of death globally. Pharmaceuticals are the most important fundamental component because they are disease-specific, most notably cancer-specific. Optional pharmaceuticals were looked into to meet Muslim demand for Halal products. Some essential oils are viable therapeutic sources because they have long been used in conventional medicine for various treatments. The purpose of this study is to review the investigation done on the potential for essential oils to be used as a Halal alternative therapy for lung cancer. This mini review follows the traditional narrative review study. According to these researches, essential oils are helpful in the treatment of malignancies, notably lung cancer. However, additional research, including clinical trials, is essential to enhance the treatment's efficacy.

AbstractThe free product *CRSi of an arbitrary family of disjoint completely simple semigroups {Si}i∈i, within the variety CR of completely regular semigroups, is described by means of a theorem generalizing that of Kaďourek and Polák for free completely regular semigroups. A notable consequence of the description is that all maximal subgroups of *CRSi are free, except for those in the factors Si themselves. The general theorem simplifies in the case of free CR-products of groups and, in particular, free idempotent-generated completely regular semigroups.

A Matemática é encarada por muitos alunos como uma disciplina complicada devido à forma mecânica que se trabalha alguns conteúdos. Por conta desse contexto, surge a preocupação com a desmotivação e a não assimilação de algumas regras, como a dos produtos notáveis, vistas no Ensino Fundamental II. Na tentativa de fazer com que essas fórmulas sejam aprendidas com rapidez e facilidade, desenvolveu-se um trabalho usando a estratégia do uso de música e o manuseio de material concreto com a turma do o 8º ano do Colégio Tenente Ângelo de Siqueira Passos. Com essa atividade, percebeu-se que é necessário quebrar tabus na maneira tradicional de se trabalhar a Matemática para que haja um maior entendimento dos conteúdos por parte dos alunos e que o uso do lúdico musical se enquadra perfeitamente dentro deste contexto além de oferecer um maior dinamismo às aulas. No caso dos produtos notáveis, a música, que ajuda a fixar suas regras, é encarada como um jogo que associa a melodia com a fórmula e com o concreto quando se usa o dimensional geométrico como recurso prático. Além disso, criar situação problema dentro do contexto atual do aluno só vai enriquecer o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Dessa forma, aproximando a Matemática do que é espontâneo, como sugere a pedagogia da Etnomatemática de D’Ambrósio, o aluno se vê estimulado e apto ao que se propõe.

Full textAbstract:
The structural performance was tested for two plywood products distributed in South Korea: Plywood for roof (RP) and plywood for concrete form (CP), in accordance with ASTM standards. The evaluation included tests for tensile-shear strength under wet conditions, bending performance, compressive strength, and rolling shear strength. Results indicated that the CP specimens exhibited a compressive strength of 37 MPa, surpassing that of structural cross-laminated timber (CLT) with comparable specific gravity. The bending performance of CP plywood was also notable, with a modulus of rupture of 56.8 MPa and a modulus of elasticity of 12 GPa. The rolling shear strength was measured at 2.4 MPa, which is favorable compared to the rolling shear strengths of European structural wood species. Notably, the failure pattern was ideal. Furthermore, the CP specimens demonstrated excellent adhesive strength in the tensile-shear test after cyclic boiling, both meeting and exceeding the Korean standards for structural plywood in all evaluated aspects. In contrast, the RP specimens did not fully meet some of the Korean standards, indicating areas for improvement in structural applications.

Full textAbstract:
A single transcript sometimes codes for more than one product. In bacteria, and in a few exceptional animal lineages, many genes are organized into operons: clusters of open reading frames that are transcribed together in a single polycistronic transcript. However, polycistronic transcripts are rare in eukaryotes. One notable exception is that of miRNAs (microRNAs), small RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The primary transcripts of miRNAs commonly produce more than one functional product, by at least three different mechanisms. miRNAs are often produced from polycistronic transcripts together with other miRNA precursors. Also, miRNAs frequently derive from protein-coding gene introns. Finally, each miRNA precursor can produce two mature miRNA products. We argue, in the present review, that miRNAs are frequently hosted in transcripts coding for multiple products because new miRNA precursor sequences that arise by chance in transcribed regions are more likely to become functional miRNAs during evolution.

Previous issue date: 2012-10-19<br>Colégio Albert Sabin<br>This study aims to emphasize the importance of using Problem Solving as a focused tool for solving significantly the most diverse mathematical content. For that, it was researched different approaches of Problem Solving and It was analyzed the book "Tudo é Matemática" written by Luiz Roberto Dante and compared with the notebook (the student book) the Curricular Proposal from State of São Paulo, both of them are specific for taught at the 8th-grade, focusing specifically on Notable Products. The theoretical framework was based on the ideas of Chevallard, regarding the Didactic Transposition Theory which focuses on the relation between mathematical scholarship and mathematics teaching, establishing a necessary gap between scientific knowledge and the knowledge built in the classroom. The analysis of the courseware was focused on the techniques of Content Analysis from Bardin, considering the criteria of the Guide Textbook - PNLD 2011. Through the analysis of both materials, it was observed that it is much more possible to face activities of reproduction or repetition of algorithms than activities that involve challenging situations. In this research, the definition of 'Problem' is based on the idea of Echeverría. The author characterizes a Problem as a situation to be solved, for whom it does not have the immediate resources for the solution; but it is needed to articulate concepts and procedures. Therefore, the Problem Solving can be used as a tool to achieving the process of teaching / learning mathematical content, providing a link between concepts that are treated in different representations<br>O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo ressaltar a importância de se utilizar a Resolução de Problemas como um meio para se trabalhar de forma significativa os mais diversos conteúdos matemáticos. Para tal, foi realizada uma investigação sobre diferentes abordagens de Resolução de Problemas e a análise do livro didático Tudo é Matemática , de Luiz Roberto Dante estabelecendo uma comparação com o Caderno (do aluno) da Proposta Curricular do Estado de São Paulo, ambos do oitavo ano, focando especificamente em Produtos Notáveis. A fundamentação teórica foi baseada nas ideias de Chevallard no que se refere à Teoria da Transposição Didática que foca na relação entre o professor, o aluno e o saber, estabelecendo um necessário distanciamento entre o saber científico e o saber tratado em sala de aula. A análise do material didático baseou-se nas técnicas de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, considerando os critérios abordados no Guia de Livros Didáticos PNLD 2011. Por meio da análise de desses materiais, foi possível perceber que atividades de reprodução ou de repetição de algoritmos se apresentam em maior número e as situações desafiadoras estão em quantidade bem mais reduzida. Neste trabalho de pesquisa, a definição de problema tem como base a ideia de Echeverría que caracteriza um problema como sendo uma situação que se pretende resolver, porém não se dispõe de recursos imediatos para a solução, o que necessário articular conceitos e procedimentos. Portanto, a Resolução de Problemas pode ser utilizada como um meio para a concretização do processo de ensino/aprendizagem de conteúdos matemáticos, proporcionando a articulação entre conceitos que são tratados em diferentes representações

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book explores the storied spaces and narrative archetypes of a secondary business service, using facilities management (FM) as an example of non-core and increasingly outsourced organizational activities. The centrepiece is the development of artificial folklore, a research approach combining organizational analysis, storytelling, and folklore for interpretive purposes. An in-depth exploration of FM is developed; one exploring people, place, and process in a project revealing elements of organizational liminality as well as professional enchantment. This leads to concentration on the storytelling nature of secondary services, specifically utilizing the genre of fairytales to investigate narrative patterns within FM’s cultural environment. In the process, three modes of FM delivery are identified: consultancy provision, service provision, and in-house provision; modes which are narratively demarcated as professionals tell both deconstructed and reconstructed tales about their work. What is revealed is a recognized understanding across the three provider groups of their role as the ‘necessary evil’ of business organization, and notably as represented—in folkloric terms—by the shadow archetype. Ultimately, the artificial folklore approach developed in this book produces ghostwritten tales for each of the main FM provider streams; tales which reflect symbolically, the consultancy provider’s Hansel and Gretel, the service provider’s Goldilocks, and the in-house provider’s Cinderella organizational motifs. The outcome of this inquiry is a new diagnostic approach to the study of management, work, and organization—one linking elements of social theory, narrative analysis, and the business imaginary.

Full textAbstract:
Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a rapidly progressive renal disease caused by the ingestion of plant products containing aristolochic acid (AA), first described in connection with the use of Chinese herbal medicines. Although the true worldwide extent of this disease is unknown, it is likely to represent a significant cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in many parts of the world. Furthermore, recent data have also demonstrated that AA is also the primary aetiological agent in Balkan endemic nephropathy. AAN is notable in its association with urothelial malignancy, with the mechanisms of carcinogenesis now well characterized. Aside from a possible role for corticosteroid therapy in slowing disease progression in selected patients, no disease-specific treatments have yet been shown to alter the course of this nephropathy. Therefore, prevention of exposure to AA and, in affected patients, effective management of the risk of malignancy are key principles in the approach to this condition. Although preparations containing Aristolochia spp. and herbs that can be confused or substituted for Aristolochia have been banned in many countries, other herbal products containing AA have continued to be available to consumers long after these bans have been instituted, highlighting the ongoing need for awareness of this disease.

Full textAbstract:
U.S. Latinos have made important contributions to American society, and this biographical dictionary is devoted to celebrating those contributions. All 127 men and women profiled in this work have immigrated to or been born in the United States and have made major contributions to American life and culture. Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and others of Spanish, South American, Central American and Caribbean heritage—more than one-third of them women—represent 35 fields of endeavor and all 50 states. From historical figures to the newest sports champion, figure-skater Rudy Galindo, this work provides profiles of both prominent and important but less-familiar people who have made significant contributions in their fields. Many of those profiled can be found in no other biographical source. A selection of photos complements the text. All biographies have been written by experts in their ethnic fields. Those profiled range widely from distinguished scientists to sports stars, from actors to activists, from businesswomen to political personalities, from literary luminaries to labor organizers. All are potential role models for young men and women, and many have overcome extreme odds to succeed. These colorfully written, substantive biographies detail their subjects' goals, struggles, and commitments to success and to their ethnic communities. Among the 127 people profiled are: Nobel Prize-winning scientist Luis Alvarez; Treasurer of the United States Romana Acosta Bañuelos; actor/composer/activist Rubén Blades; classical dancer Fernando Bujones; baseball player José Canseco; U.S. Secretary of Education Lauro Cavazos Jr.; writer Sandra Cisneros; fashion designer Oscar de la Renta; U.S. Congressman Lincoln DÍaz-Balart; teacher Jaime Escalante; composer/singer Gloria Estefan; tennis players Gigi Fernández and Mary Joe Fernández ; playwright Mara Fornés; U.S. Men's 1996 Figure Skating Champion Rudy Galindo; physician/political activist Héctor GarcÍa; Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta; labor leader Dolores Huerta; U.S. Ambassador MarÍa-Luci Jaramillo; artist Marisol; civil-rights activist Vilma Socorro MartÍnez; businessman/politician Jorge Mas Canosa; federal judge Harold Medina; graphic artist Nicholasa Mohr; U.S. Surgeon General Antonia Novello; astronaut Ellen Ochoa; Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Severo Ochoa; TV personality Geraldo Rivera; U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen; educational psychologist George I. Sánchez; newspaper editor Roberto Suárez; women's rights activist/businesswoman MarÍa Elena Toraño-PantÍn; New York State Supreme Court Judge Edwin Torres; mystic Teresa Urrea; film producer/director Luis Valdez. For ease of use, the heading of each profile identifies ethnic group, field of endeavor, birthdate and, where appropriate, death date. Each profile concludes with a suggested reading list of books and periodical articles about the subject. An ethnic index, field of endeavor index, and a general index make research easy. This much needed reference work is essential for school and public libraries.

AbstractIn this chapter we address the dynamics created by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transfer of technology from universities to society through spin-off firms, based on scientific and technological research and initiatives supporting the connections between research teams and spin-offs. We observed the interactions among these firms with government and universities to reinforce the university’s third constitutional mission, especially in view of the COVID-19 demands on products and services. Starting from the changes introduced by innovation support policies and their respective regulations, notable among which are the sectoral funds, the innovation law and the current legal framework for science, technology and innovation, Brazilian universities have become increasingly involved in seeking solutions for national needs in various fields that transform the knowledge generated into products and services, which are then made available to the market.

AbstractDriven by increasing customer demands, manufacturing processes now encompass increasingly intricate workflows. The industry uses computer-aided process planning to manage these complex manufacturing processes effectively. A crucial task here is to analyze product data and determine the required machining features, represented as 3D mesh geometries. However, a notable challenge arises, particularly with custom products, where the interpretation of the 3D mesh geometry varies significantly depending on the available machinery and expert preferences. This study introduces a configurable automated feature recognition framework based on expert knowledge. Experts can use a configurable synthetic data generator to encode their requirements within this framework via the training data. A machine-learning graph classification approach is used to recognize the 3D geometries of machining features in the generated data, based on to the user requirements. The system accomplishes this without requiring for data conversion into alternative formats, such as voxel or pixel representations, like other approaches are forced to.

AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected devices and sensors communicating and exchanging data through the Internet. Wearable technologies are a popular application of IoT and can potentially affect users’ lifestyles, health, well-being, behaviors, and decisions. Smartwatches are the most popular type of wearable device among athletes. We are interested in the factors influencing the adoption of smart devices which monitor and track sports and fitness activities. Our data was based on a convenient sample of 128 amateur runners and we performed descriptive statistics and regression analysis. We applied the theoretical model of Technology Acceptance and empirical results reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and smartwatch health indications, are notable antecedents of someone’s decision to adopt a smart device. Sport wearable companies may get insights from this research about significant factors of smartwatch adoption and products to help athletes enhance their performance.

AbstractThe intersection of gaming and gambling has a long lineage. In recent years this process has amplified, arguably accelerated by developing technological infrastructures which facilitate rapid payment purchases and online and real-time systems which allow companies to communicate directly with users and users to communicate with each other. This chapter traces key issues relating to some notable recent examples of the gaming/gambling intersection. It includes controversies about the status of social casino games and loot boxes; the development and expansion of daily fantasy sports markets; the betting and wagering of skins won or bought through digital games, and; rising opportunities to bet on esports. Each exemplifies how these activities are products of a unique set of social and economic circumstances, how corporations are diversifying and becoming part of a more complex gaming/gambling ecosystem and using data to drive growth, all of which raise particular issues for consumer protection.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLipid biomarkers of seep carbonates and sediments retrieved from the Dongsha area, Shenhu, Site F and Haima in the South China Sea (SCS) over the last two decades were studied. Biomarker inventories, microbial consortia, seepage dynamics, and biogeochemical processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), aerobic oxidation of methane (AeOM), and oxidation of non-methane hydrocarbons, were reconstructed. Authigenic carbonates contained varying contents of 13C-depleted archaeal and bacterial biomarkers, reflecting their formation as a result of AOM under varying conditions. Except for the typical isoprenoids found in various cold seeps worldwide, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl hexadecan-1,3-diol and two novel sn2-/sn3-O-hydroxyphytanyl glycerol monoethers with notable 13C-depletion were observed in authigenic carbonates obtained from Haima, which are most likely hydrolysis products of archaea-specific diethers. Furthermore, molecular fossils, compound-specific δ13C values, and mineralogies, were used to trace dominant microbial consortia, seepage activities, and environmental conditions in the cold seep ecosystems of the SCS. In this chapter, the archaeal and bacterial lipid biomarker geochemistry of methane seeps is systematically introduced. AOM, AeOM, oxidation of non-methane hydrocarbons, oil degradation, and the diagenetic fate of glycerol ethers, are further summarized.

AbstractIndia has come a long way from being a food scarce nation in the 1960s to a food surplus nation thereafter. The remarkable transformation of the agricultural sector was the result of massive improvements in productivity level owing to the Green Revolution in the case of cereals and the breakthrough that followed in few other agricultural commodities, most notably, dairying. Today, India is the largest producer of milk, pulses, banana, mango, pomegranate, papaya, lemon, okra, ginger and non-food crops like cotton and jute; the second-largest producer of rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables, tea and one of the leading producers of eggs and meat in the world. India produced 281.8 million tonnes of food grains, 307.7 million tonnes of horticulture crops, 176.5 million tonnes of milk, 96 billion eggs and 7.7 million tonnes of meat during TE 2018–19.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis study investigated the composition of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) products formed in mortar and concrete that underwent accelerated ASR testing using two test methods: the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) and the simulated pore solution immersion test (SPSM). The composition of the ASR products formed in the accelerated tests was compared with those in a 25-year old bridge in New South Wales demolished due to ASR. Results showed that the ASR products inside an aggregate contained calcium (≈20%), silicon (≈60%), and alkalis (≈20%) regardless of the ASR test method used. The ASR products in the AMBT sample only contained sodium, whereas the ASR products in the SPSM test and the demolished bridge both contained significant amounts of sodium and potassium, which indicated that the type of alkali in the ASR product is largely affected by the dominant alkali in the pore solution. However, considering that the total alkali content (Na + K) in the ASR products was similar regardless of the ASR test method used, this suggests that the total alkali content has more influence on the rate of expansion than the type of alkali. The composition of the ASR products also notably varied depending on the location in the concrete. ASR products closer to the cement paste had a higher calcium and lower alkali content than those inside an aggregate, which suggests that the calcium as well as the alkali content of the ASR products plays a significant role in the degree of ASR expansion.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the realm of Industry 4.0, the construction sector has witnessed accelerated strides toward circular economy goals. However, a notable deficiency persists in integrated technologies spanning the entire project lifecycle—covering design, construction, renovation, and demolition phases. This inadequacy is particularly pronounced in the seamless tracing and tracking of materials, products, and waste, obstructing effective material flow analysis. This chapter adopts Design Science Research (DSR) as a methodological guide for systematically developing a Digital Information Management System (DIMS) tailored for construction and demolition waste management. This chapter focuses on a detailed exploration of the iterative steps inherent in the DSR process, specifically as applied to DIMS development with the Horizon Europe Project RECONMATIC. Starting with problem awareness and proposal, the chapter identifies existing gaps and challenges in current technologies, proposing a structured approach to address them. Moving to finding proposed solutions and tentative design, potential resolutions to the identified challenges are explored, leading to the formulation of a preliminary DIMS design. Subsequent steps involve building and testing artefacts, creating tangible prototypes, and conducting rigorous testing to validate their functionality. The evaluation and iteration phase follows, subjecting the artefacts to systematic scrutiny against predefined criteria and real-world scenarios. This iterative process refines the DIMS design and functionalities based on evaluation outcomes. Finally, the chapter underscores the importance of communicating results, presenting findings and insights, and developing DIMS for the academic and industry communities. By navigating these steps within the DSR framework, this chapter contributes a systematic, iterative, and methodologically rigorous approach to DIMS development. It strives to create a practical, effective, and sustainable solution aligning with the evolving landscape of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe total synthesis of (+)-siladenoserinol A (1) was accomplished. The bicyclic acetal core, a 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton, was constructed by Au(III)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 6,7-dihydroxy-2-alkynoate. A serinol side chain was introduced by the Julia–Kocienski olefination and the other side chain was efficiently introduced by the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction with glycerophosphocholine-containing phosphonoacetate, and selective sulfamation of the serinol moiety yielded (+)-1. The synthetic (+)-1 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against p53–Hdm2 interaction comparable to that of the natural product. In contrast, the desulfamate derivative did not show the inhibitory activity. Notably, its benzoyl analog exhibited more potent activity than (+)-1.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The corrosion of mild steel in chloride-rich atmospheres is a highly topical issue for industry and departments of transportation. The formation of the oxyhydroxide akaganeite (β-FeOOH) in this type of atmosphere is associated with a notable acceleration of the steel corrosion process. The scientific literature contains many references to outdoor marine atmospheric tests, but has not yet clarified some issues regarding akaganeite, such as, the environmental conditions for its formation. Research has been performed at thirty atmospheric corrosion stations located at south Florida within 0.1 to 21 miles from the east ocean shore. Conditions in Florida generally led to the formation of akaganeite due to the presence of chlorine in the atmosphere near the ocean. Steel plate samples were exposed for evaluation of crystallographic structures of the corrosion products using the X-ray diffraction (XRD). For this investigation the corrosion products on these samples were analyzed using XRD with a cobalt anode to observe the intensities and peaks related to akaganeite, goethite, lepidocrocite and hematite products. The ratio of akaganeite to the other crystalline iron oxides was calculated from the peak positions corresponding to the respective oxides and intensities. The results show correlations between plate weight loss, distance from the shoreline and akaganeite formation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Top of line corrosion loop experiments have been performed at 85 °C with 10 bar CO2 and 0.1 – 1 mbar H2S. The acetic acid content was varied between 360 and 3030 mg/kg acetic acid in the condensed water. Under these conditions corrosion products consisting mainly of iron carbonate were formed on the steel surface where condensation occurred. This is in contrast to previous experiments under similar conditions at 25 °C, where the corrosion products contained mostly iron sulfide due to the slow precipitation of iron carbonate at low temperature. The top of line corrosion rate increased strongly with the amount of acetic acid in the condensed water. Top of line corrosion is limited by the amount of iron that can dissolve in the condensed water, and acetic acid increases the corrosion rate because it increases the solubility of iron in the condensing water. The experimental conditions were simulated by calculations using a chemical solubility software package. The calculations showed that the solubility of iron carbonate increases with increasing acetic acid content. The calculated values fitted well with the measured values in the experiments. The calculations also showed that the saturation ratio for iron carbonate is significantly higher than for iron sulfide under these conditions. The small amounts of H2S in these experiments did not have a notable effect on the resulting corrosion rate under these conditions at 85 °C, where iron carbonate is the main corrosion product.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Society for Preventive Coatings (SSPC) has been an essential partner with the Department of Defense in the fight against corrosion for nearly 10 years. Since 2003, SSPC’s leadership and expertise in corrosion management, prevention and control has been a very important factor in our success at combating the insidious and pervasive effects of corrosion on our facilities and equipment. SSPC’s efforts have covered the spectrum of corrosion curriculum development; in-class and on-the-job training for technicians and managers; development and improvement of corrosion-related specifications and standards; ensuring the use of high quality protective coverings products and application methods; and overseeing the development of improved products and methods. A notable example of support for the DoD is the corrosion overview course developed by SSPC for the NATO school. In 2013, we are focusing on corrosion in the Pacific Rim, which is affected by the entire range of microclimates from hot and humid to frigid arctic conditions. Paints, coatings and other protective coverings are critical to the initial protection of our infrastructure and warfighting assets, as well as the follow-on corrosion prevention and control of vulnerable surfaces. The incidence and effects of corrosion in the Pacific Rim is particularly crucial, and we are depending on SSPC to join us in studying and evaluating the Pacific Rim environmental conditions, and developing solutions to the incidence and impact of corrosion given these conditions. The focal point for corrosion in the Pacific Rim will be the DoD Corrosion Conference to be held in Hawaii in September 2013.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this study is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the mineral resource base in Kazakhstan, specifically focusing on copper, zinc, lead, and gold, with the aim of identifying key determinants crucial for ensuring its sustainable development. The mineral resource sector serves as a cornerstone of Kazakhstan's economy and industrial landscape. This article seeks to elucidate the critical parameters defining its current state, placing particular emphasis on the presence and quality of mineral deposits. Furthermore, it encompasses a comprehensive examination of the technological advancements in both extraction and processing methodologies, as well as the efficient utilization of natural resources within the contemporary economic milieu of the country. The research methodology employed entails a rigorous scrutiny of data pertaining to reserves and extraction rates of the primary metal groups, which hold strategic significance within Kazakhstan's resource agenda. Notably, this analysis is conducted against the backdrop of a concerning trend marked by declining reserves across virtually all categories of raw materials. Additionally, the study delves into the intricacies of industrial production diversification. The findings underscore that mining enterprises predominantly export more than 80% of their output to foreign markets in the form of competitively priced raw materials, driven by factors such as accelerated investment returns, reduced capital outlays, and sustained demand. However, a notable and consistent uptrend is observed in Kazakhstan's economic reliance on imported finished metal products. Of particular concern is the disproportionately high proportion of foreign investors wielding significant decision-making authority within Kazakhstan's mining enterprises, exceeding a third of the total investor base. Such a pronounced foreign presence poses a substantial risk to the domestic raw materials industry, necessitating urgent reforms in the procedures governing rights allocation for geological exploration and access to geological data. Furthermore, the study highlights the pressing need to address issues such as outdated equipment and technologies prevalent in certain industry enterprises, as well as the inadequate adaptation of transportation-logistics and energy systems to effectively cater to the requirements of the mining sector. In summary, the comprehensive analysis of the mineral resource industry's current status has revealed a myriad of challenges that must be diligently addressed to foster its sustainable development trajectory.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Corrosion of nuclear fuel over the 10,000 year regulatory period in a geologic repository will be a function of physical characteristics (e.g., crystallinity, crystal sizes, crystal forms) and chemical characteristics (e.g., crystal composition, compositional variability, accessory phases). Natural uraninite (nominally UO2+x) which has undergone long-term corrosion can be studied to infer the long-term behavior of nuclear fuel. Previously, uraninite from the Nopal I deposit, Peña Blanca district, Chihuahua, Mexico, has been shown to constitute an outstanding analog material for comparison with nuclear fuel. Similarities between Nopal I uraninite and nuclear fuel have been shown to include bulk composition, general crystal structure, and total trace element content. In this paper, the crystallographic and compositional comparisons between Nopal I uraninite and nuclear fuel are examined in more detail using data from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. These measurements indicate good correspondence between Nopal I uraninite and spent nuclear fuel for most of the factors listed above, but also the existence of notable differences. Both nuclear fuel and Nopal I uraninite have bulk compositions consisting largely of U and O and the general crystal structures of the materials may both be approximated by cubic UO2. Structural and compositional differences between the materials, however, are clear at the scale of the crystal lattices (e.g., &lt;100 nm). The crystal lattice boundaries of Nopal I uraninite appear to be physically stronger and more resistant to oxidant penetration than the grain boundaries of irradiated nuclear fuel. There is limited evidence for preferential oxidation of Nopal I uraninite along crystal boundaries, but no zoning of corrosion products from a crystal boundary inward has been observed. Although crystals of Nopal I uraninite (e.g., &lt; 100 nm) are much smaller than irradiated fuel grains (e.g., &lt; 25 μm), because of the boundary differences described here, the effective surface area/volume ratio for Nopal I uraninite may be much smaller than that of nuclear fuel, and consequently the rates of reaction may be different. Micro-compositional measurements show that the content and distribution of trace elements in Nopal I uraninite is different from irradiated fuel. High-resolution (10 Å spot) EDS measurements of individual crystals of Nopal I uraninite indicate that some areas consist of only U and O but that other uraninite lattices incorporate Al and Si as well as U and O. Irradiated fuel includes many elements in addition to U and O, but Al and Si are not significant among those impurities. Nopal I uraninite has a composition close to U4O9, whereas irradiated fuel is close to UO2. Lattice mismatches within individual Nopal I uraninite crystals suggest that in some limited areas a more reduced phase persists. On a compositional basis, Nopal I uraninite may, therefore, correspond more closely to irradiated fuel which has undergone dry oxidation to UO2.25, than to fresh (unoxidized) irradiated fuel. Data presented here suggest that, as a bulk material, Nopal I uraninite compares favorably with irradiated nuclear fuel. Nevertheless, some fine-scale differences are noted between Nopal I uraninite and irradiated nuclear fuel with respect to both internal structures and compositions. These observations suggest that whereas the long-term responses of the two materials to oxidative alteration in a geologic repository may be similar, the detailed mechanisms of initial oxidant penetration and the short-term oxidative alteration of Nopal I uraninite and irradiated nuclear fuel are likely to be different.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study investigates the influence of geometric parameters on residual compressive stress (RCS) in hollow cylindrical parts subjected to induction surface hardening, a crucial factor for improving fatigue strength in components under cyclic loading. Through analytical modeling and numerical simulations, the authors develop expressions that quantitatively decompose and evaluate various factors contributing to residual stress distributions in internally and externally hardened hollow cylinders. Using Ck45 steel with consistent wall thickness (30 mm) but varying internal diameters (25-100 mm), the research demonstrates that while volumetric strain consistently produces high RCS of approximately -600 MPa regardless of geometry, the deviatoric strain components exhibit significant differences between internal and external hardening processes. Notably, small internal radii combined with internal hardening generate substantial tensile stresses due to tangential deviatoric strain distribution, potentially counteracting the beneficial compressive stresses from martensitic transformation. Conversely, external hardening, particularly with small external radii, produces additional compressive stresses that enhance the overall RCS beyond what would be expected from martensitic dilatation alone—providing valuable insights for optimizing induction hardening processes in various geometrical configurations.

Mill-made deinked pulp fibres for news print were compared with virgin single pulps in terms of pulp properties. The results showed that fundamental fibre properties ,which had been proposed by many researchers, were useful for the characterization of deinked pulp, provided their fractions were compared. Possible reason for this is that fractionation sorts the fibres, and in this way helps to characterize the complicated fibre composition of deinked pulp. Notable characteristics of long fibres of deinked pulp seemed to be fibre coarseness , wet fibre flexibility and curl or kink as well as fibre swelling. These results suggested that the characterization of mill-made deinked pulps with these fibre properties should be carried out by taking the fibre types into account. For this reason, a new method for the determination of fibre composition has been proposed. It provides good results within a certain range of pulps, but further studies are required to devise a more sophisticated method.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract User-to-product trust has two notable aspects: (1) the user’s propensity to trust, and (2) the product’s trustworthiness as assessed by the user. Autonomous products, which perform many functions on their own with limited user input, require the user to exhibit trust at an appropriate level before use. Research in product trust thus far has focused on the product trustworthiness: manipulating the product’s design, for example, anthropomorphizing an autonomous vehicle and measuring changes in trust. This study flips the usual approach, manipulating a person’s propensity to trust and measuring response to an existing autonomous product, the Amazon Echo. We build on our past successes with priming exercises to reveal insights into the user-related factors of product trust. In this study, we used visual stimuli that evoked either positive, neutral or negative emotions as affective primes to influence users’ trust propensity before the interaction. The participants interacted with a mock-up of the Amazon Echo via ten pre-determined question-and-answer (Q&A) sets. During the interaction, the participants evaluated the Echo’s competence and if it met participants’ expectations. They also reported trust towards the Echo after the Q&A sets. Holistically, the affective primes show no significant effect on the trust propensity. For the subgroup of participants whose expectations of the product’s performance were met, both the perceived product competence and the affective primes have significant effects on trust propensity. These results demonstrate the complex nature of trust as a multidimensional construct and the critical role of product performance in trust formation. They also suggest that it will be difficult for a product to build trust with users who expect the product to perform in a different way than its intent — if one wants to design a product that builds trust, they should understand user expectations and design to meet them. This learning can facilitate the intentional design of the affective process in trust formation that helps build a healthy level of trust with autonomous products.

Full textAbstract:
Country image is essential as a country of origin information in marketplaces, especially for pharmaceutical products in developing countries. The origin of the products is used as a surrogate indicator for quality and safety. The pharmaceutical sector in Albania continues to be a developing sector, yet, locally produced products, while growing recently, continue to occupy and supply a small share of the total market. Imports dominate the Albanian drug market, and the country’s most notable international brands exist. The study aimed to analyze the impact of the country of origin on the decision to purchase medicaments from the pharmaceutical sector in Albania and also to highlight the most critical factors affecting the impact of the country of origin on the choice of pharmaceutical products. Two hundred pharmacists, doctors, and chemists participated in the study. The results show that the country of origin is essential in assisting pharmacists in purchasing. The pharmacist’s decision is driven mainly by the higher customer demand to purchase the country of origin attribute due to their low information on the product. The latter leads to selecting the best and most effective medicaments from countries perceived to have high quality.

Developing multiple-generation of products has become a mainstream tactic in today’s markets. The most notable case is Apple Inc.’s huge success with its iPod, iPhone and iPad product lines. Multiple-generation product lines require carefully planned strategies. Under a multiple-generation product development strategy, companies introduce a line of products to the market instead of introducing a single product to better utilize technology assets and resources in an elongated time span. For such product development and launch scenarios, cannibalization can occur, however. That is, multiple product generations compete in the same market and partition the company’s market shares. In the paper, we propose a new framework to predict the sales and introduction timing for every product generation in a multiple-generation product line while considering cannibalization. We demonstrate a case study implementing the proposed framework on Apple Inc.’s iPhone product line. The results show that the forecast performance of the model matches the realized real data.

This paper describes experiences of international insertion of Argentine producers of manufactured goods not oriented to the mass market. Based on these experiences, we develop a typology of potential alternatives of international insertion for this type of goods centered on the role of local agentsin design activities. Our analysis follows the global value chain (GVC) approach and emphasizes the links between local producers and buyers in developed countries. First, we analyze experiences of international insertion of producers and marketers of high end footwear. These cases involve high quality products that are intensive in original design. Second, we analyze various forms of international insertion of a single producer of valves for combustion engines, which primarily involve customized products. Despite the differences between these two industries, we find notable similarities in the forms of insertion they both present and in the knowledge requirements they impose on local producers.

Utah is a state with diverse geology and natural resources, and this diversity extends to mineral resources that are deemed critical by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Utah’s critical mineral portfolio includes current producers, known resources, areas of past production, and undeveloped occurrences. This report, now in its second edition, summarizes the geographic and geologic distribution of critical minerals within Utah. Utah is notable for being the global leader in beryllium production; being the only domestic producer of magnesium metal; being one of only two states producing lithium (as of publication); and being a byproduct producer of tellurium, platinum, and palladium from the world-class Bingham Canyon mine, which is one of only two domestic tellurium producers. Utah has known resources of aluminum, fluorspar, germanium, gallium, indium, vanadium, and zinc, as well as past production and occurrences of many other critical minerals. In total, Utah currently produces 6 critical minerals, has known resources of 7 more, and hosts an additional 27 as past producers and/or occurrences with limited potential for economic development.

Additionally, it gives an overview of the current state of textile circularity, notable policy and regulatory trends, and how to leverage capabilities of the mobility sector, especially in decarbonization.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank">Click here to access the full SAE EDGE</a><sup>TM</sup><a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank"> Research Report portfolio.</a></div></div>

Full textAbstract:
2023 Utah Mining Industry Summary The estimated combined value of Utah’s extractive resource production in 2023 totaled approximately $10.1 billion, including production of metals and industrial minerals ($4.0 billion), natural gas and natural gas liquids ($2.1 billion), crude oil ($3.8 billion), and coal ($314 million) (Figure 1). Utah’s diverse mining industry (metals, industrial minerals, and coal) accounted for $4.3 billion (42%) of total extractive resource production, a significant decrease of $531 million from the 2022 revised value (nominal dollars) and lower than peak values reached in 2011 ($5.3 billion, nominal dollars). Mining activities in Utah currently produce base metals, precious metals, industrial minerals, and coal (Figure 2). Base metal production contributed $1.9 billion and included copper, beryllium, molybdenum, and iron (Figure 3). Notably, copper alone accounted for 65% ($1.4 billion) of Utah’s metal production value. Precious metals produced in Utah include gold and silver, and 2023 production was valued at $250 million (Figure 3). Precious metal production value decreased 19% from 2022 to 2023, primarily due to less gold production, and base metal value decreased 16%, primarily due to less copper production. Industrial minerals produced in Utah include sand and gravel, crushed stone, salt, potash, cement, lime, phosphate, lithium, uintaite (Gilsonite®), clay, gypsum, and other commodities (Figure 2). The estimated value of industrial mineral production in 2023 was $1.9 billion (Figure 3), a 4.2% increase over the revised 2022 estimate. The most valuable industrial mineral group in 2023, estimated at $570 million, was construction material commodity group which includes sand and gravel, crushed stone, and dimension stone. The value of Utah coal production decreased 39% in 2023 to $314 million; production was much lower in 2023, and the average price also decreased (Figure 3). Notably, Utah is the only state to produce beryllium concentrate, potassium sulfate, and uintaite (Gilsonite®); of these commodities, beryllium, was included in the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) 2022 list of critical minerals (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022). Lithium, also considered a critical mineral, has been produced in Utah since 2020, making Utah one of only two lithium-producing states. Throughout this report, production is designated in US short tons (t) or million short tons (Mt) unless otherwise indicated.

Tham, Siew Yean. ASEAN Open Skies and Its Implications on Airport Development Strategy in Malaysia. Inter-American Development Bank, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011315.
Full textAbstract:
This paper seeks to examine the implication of open skies in ASEAN on the airport development strategy in Malaysia. "Open Skies," in general, refers to the liberalization of aviation markets that can be pursued on a bilateral, regional, or multilateral basis. The findings show that although Malaysia has invested substantially in overall infrastructure development, including airports, other member countries within ASEAN, notably Singapore and Thailand, have also followed a similar investment-intensive strategy to develop their international airports into airport hubs. The dream to turn Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) into a regional hub requires Malaysia to undertake several measures to overcome the competitive pressures from neighboring hubs. This includes joining a strategic global alliance group to improve the traffic feed of the national carrier. It will also require the government to accelerate the construction of the new Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at KLIA. The strategy to build a cargo hub at Senai should be reviewed while the promotion of tourism, especially to non-ASEAN countries has to focus on a distinctive product appeal that will enable the country to differentiate its tourism products from those of regional competitors. This paper was prepared for the Latin America/Caribbean and Asia/Pacific Economics and Business Association (LAEBA)'s 4th Annual Meeting held in Lima, Peru, on June 17th. 2008.

Full textAbstract:
This research report examines the reasons cement used in wells can deteriorate and fail. If the cement fails a leak pathway can form through which fluids can flow outside the well casing from one zone in the well to another and potentially reach the surface. The wells in question in this study are product storage wells, most notably used for natural gas storage, although the discussion can in general apply to any well. A review of general storage well use and construction are the lead in to the work.

Full textAbstract:
The overall theme of this project was to increase the speed of analysis for monitoring pesticide residues in food. Traditionally, analytical methods for multiple pesticides are time-consuming, expensive, laborious, wasteful, and ineffective to meet critical needs related to food safety. Faster and better methods were needed to provide more cost-effective detection of chemical contaminants, and thus provide a variety of benefits to agriculture. This overarching goal to speed and improve pesticide analysis was successfully accomplished even beyond what was originally proposed by the investigators in 1998. At that time, the main objectives of this project were: 1) to further develop a direct sample introduction (DSI) device that enables fast sampling and introduction of blended-only agricultural products for analysis by gas chromatography (GC); 2) to evaluate, establish, and further develop the method of simultaneous pulsed flame photometric detector (PFPD) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection for enhanced pesticide identification capabilities; and 3) to develop a new and novel MS pesticide analysis method, based on the use of supersonic molecular beams (SMB) for sampling and ionization. The first and third objectives were successfully accomplished as proposed, and the feasibility of the second objective was already demonstrated. The capabilities of the GC/SMB-MS approach alone were so useful for pesticide analysis that the simultaneous use of a PFPD was considered superfluous. Instead, the PFPD was investigated in combination with an electron-capture detector for low-cost, simultaneous analysis of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides in fatty foods. Three important, novel research projects not originally described in the proposal were also accomplished: 1) development of the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method for pesticides in foods; 2) development and optimization of a method using low-pressure (LP) GC/MS to speed pesticide residue analysis; and 3) innovative application of analyte protectants to improve the GC analysis of important problematic pesticides. All of the accomplishments from this project are expected to have strong impact to the analytical community and implications to agriculture and food safety. For one, an automated DSI approach has become commercially available in combination with GC/MS for the analysis of pesticide residues. Meanwhile, the PFPD has become the selective detector of choice for the analysis of organophosphorus pesticides. Great strides were made in SMB-MS through the manufacture of a prototype "Supersonic GC/MS" instrument, which displayed many advantages over commercial GC/MS instruments. Most notably, the QuEChERS method is already being disseminated to routine monitoring labs and has shown great promise to improve pesticide analytical capabilities and increase lab productivity. The implications of these developments to agriculture will be to increase the percentage of food monitored and the scope of residues detected in the food, which will serve to improve food safety. Developed and developing countries alike will be able to use these methods to lower costs and improve results, thus imported/exported food products will have better quality without affecting price or availability. This will help increase trade between nations and mitigate certain disputes over residue levels in imported foods. The improved enforcement of permissible residue levels provided by these methods will have the effect to promote good agricultural practices among previously obstinate farmers who felt no repercussions from illegal or harmful practices. Furthermore, the methods developed can be used in the field to analyze samples quickly and effectively, or to screen for high levels of dangerous chemicals that may intentionally or accidentally appear in the food supply.

Full textAbstract:
Pakistan is facing numerous socioeconomic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, including on food security. Food insecurity, which is a long-standing issue, has become more visible since the pandemic. Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) partner the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) – a leading policy research thinktank – has been supporting the Government of Pakistan to maintain essential economic activity and protect workers and small producers during the pandemic. One notable contribution has been the development of a Food Security Portal, which is being used by the government to better manage food security in the country. It is the first track and trace system from farm to fork for essential food items.
