Abstract:

The local temperature rise of the tape is one of instabilities of the conduction-cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils. To prevent the HTS tape from locally raising a temperature, high thermal conductive fiber reinforced plastic was applied to coil bobbin or spacer for heat drain from HTS tape. The thermal conductivity of ramie fibers increases by increasing orientation of molecular chains with drawing in water, and decreases by chain scission with γ-rays irradiation or by bridge points in molecular chains with vapor-phase-formaldehyde treatments. Thermal conductivity of high strength ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene (PE) fiber increases lineally in proportion to tensile modulus and decreases by molecular chain scissions with γ-rays irradiation. This result suggested the contribution of the long extended molecular chains due to high molecular weight on the high thermal conductivity of high strength UHMW PE fiber. Thermal conductivity of high strength UHMW PE fiber reinforced plastics in parallel to fiber direction is proportional to the cross sectional ratio of reinforcement oriented in the conduction direction. Heat drain effect of high strength UHMW PE fiber reinforced plastic from HTS tape is higher than that of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and lower than that of aluminum nitride (AlN). In the case of HTS coil, the thermal stability wound on coil bobbin made of high strength UHMW PE fiber reinforced plastic is good as that of AlN, and better than that of GFRP.

Abstract:

The Influence of Fermented Cassava (Manihot utilissima) Solutions as Atraktan in Mosquito Trap on The Number of Mosquitoes Trapped. The use of synthetic insecticides can cause health hazards to humans. Mosquito trap made of disused plastic bottles plus mosquito atraktan from natural materials is an alternative that is more economical, safe and environmentally friendly. One of the mosquito atraktan compounds is CO2. Fermented cassava is potentially as mosquito atraktan because it can produce CO2. This study aimed to know the influence of fermented cassava solutions as atraktan in mosquito trap from plastic bottles on the number of mosquitoes trapped. Type this study was Quasi Experiment. Design this study was Post-test Only with Control Design. The concentration of fermented cassava solutions was used in this study was 0% (control), 10%, 30%, 50% and 70%. The results showed the number of mosquitoes trapped at a concentration of 0% (control), 10%, 30% and 70% as much as 0 tail, whereas the konentrasi 50% as much as 1 tail. Kruskal Wallis test results showed no significant effects of the concentration of fermented cassava solutions.

Abstract:

Chips scraping each other during transportation, and chips coming into contact with water or air will cause oxidization resulting in poor quality products. The chips need to be well packed and to be protected from the environment. The method of Surface Mount Component (SMC) packing using plastic carrier tape can reduce chip damage. This study focuses on the extrusion process parameters optimization of plastic carrier tape. Because each extrusion process produces 270 pieces of carrier tape, the tape size is 1.35mmX2.25mmX1.35mm and is extremely difficult to reach the tolerance standard. This study utilized a practical test to explore various factors on the quality of the carrier tape, such as the rotational speed of extruder screw motor and extrusion mold; the negative pressure of extrusion mold; and the temperature of the extrusion mold. These experiments could find out an optimal extrusion process.

Abstract:

Hot embossing of ceramic green tape allows high throughput manufacturing. Tensile tests were carried out to investigate the embossing ability of alumina green tape at room temperature. The deformation behavior was analyzed based on powder content and the use or absence of plasticizer within the ceramic green tape. Furthermore, cold embossing tests with uniaxial compression tools were carried out. A channel structure was used as a test vehicle to allow investigations into stability against elastic recovery. In the first series of tests, various green tape compositions were investigated. Inferences were made, based on the elastic and plastic material behavior. The characterisation of structured tapes in the green state was carried out by using SEM and by scanning the surface area by confocal white light microscopy.

Abstract:

Increasing waste streams of carbon fibers (CF) and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) lead to increasing need for recycling and to growing amounts of recycled carbon fibers. A main issue in current research for carbon fiber recycling is the reuse of regained fibers. Carbon staple fibers such as recycled fibers hold big potential for mechanical properties of lightweight parts, if used properly. Applying recycled CF (rCF) as milled reinforcement fibers or as nonwoven in carbon fiber reinforced plastic leads to a poor yield of mechanical proper due to low fiber orientation, limitations in fiber volume content or due to short fiber length. The rC staple fiber tape presents a more efficient approach. Recycled carbon fibers are blended with 50 wt. % thermoplastic nylon 6 fibers and processed through a roller card to a sliver, which is a linear fibrous intermediate. The sliver is continuously drawn, formed, heated and consolidated to the thermoplastic rC staple fiber tape. The tape is similar to common carbon fiber tapes or to continuous tows but has different positive properties, such as high fiber orientation, homogeneous blend of fiber and matrix and suitability for deep drawing.

Abstract:

At the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) High Tunnel Research and Education Facility, a system of production of high-value horticultural crops in high tunnels has been developed that uses plastic mulch and drip irrigation. The Penn State system involves small-scale, plastic-application equipment that prepares and applies plastic mulch and drip-irrigation tape to individual raised beds. It differs from the production system developed by researchers at the University of New Hampshire in which drip-irrigation tape is manually applied to the soil surface and then the entire soil surface in the high tunnel is covered with a black plastic sheet. An overview of the production system used in the Penn State high tunnels is presented in this report.

Abstract:

Aqueous tape casting was developed to fabricate YSZ films using a cobinder. The processing parameters such as pH value, dispersant content, and binder type and content on the quality of YSZ films were investigated and optimized. The results show that at pH = ~ 9.6, the YSZ suspensions with 0.8wt% of the dispersant PAA have a good stability. The degree of pseudo-plastic and viscosity of slurry using different binders increased with the increasing of PVA content, in contrast, the degree of pseudo-plastic and viscosity decreased with the increasing of B1070 content. The density and drying shrinkage of YSZ green tape are tightly related to the different binders. The sintered density of YSZ film increased as the density of green tape increased. The green tape using PVA (30wt %) +B1070 (70wt %) cobinders was sintered at 1400 °C for 2 hours. The films of YSZ with 98.5% of theoretical density have been obtained.

Abstract:

AbstractThe early history of tape can be and has been told in a number of ways: as a byproduct of fascism; as a serendipitous outcome of signals intelligence and the spoils of the Second World War; or as a synergistic result of American capitalism at the hands of Bing Crosby and engineer John Mullin. Instead, I consider how Fritz Pfleumer's ‘sounding paper’ – inspired by his work in cigarette manufacturing – led to a medium that brings together elements of magnetic technologies (i.e., non-inscriptive data storage) with the plastic operations of film (e.g., cutting, splicing, looping), augmented by a variety of new temporal possibilities (e.g., pause, rewind). To that end, I analyse the production and subsequent circulation of tape, tape recorders, and tape recordings in Germany during the Second World War, including many orchestral recordings by Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan. After the war, these technologies and tapes were looted from Germany, leading to the subsequent emergence of tape recording in the United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union. The post-war dissemination of tape illustrates not only the geopolitics of technology, but also the ways in which the peculiar characteristics of tape fostered certain cultural and technological practices.

Abstract:

The study was done to evaluate whether adhesive tape after intradermal skin closure in face and neck produces better aesthetic scar than intradermal skin closure in face and neck without adhesive tape. It was a prospective, interventional, purposive study and was done in department of Plastic Surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (D.M.C.H.) from July 2005 to October 2007. A total of 90 patients was included in the study. In one group (A), face and neck skin was closed by intradermal stitches with Vicryl. In other group (B), face and neck skin was closed by intradermal stitches with Vicryl 6/0, cutting body needle with adhesive tape (Nichistrip). The study included 76 patients. The age range was from 13-45 years. 34 patients were male and 42 patients were female. None of the baseline variables like age and gender was found to be different in two groups (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in the distribution of Incision along Langers line, Length of incisions, Gapping and Swelling (p>0.05). Group B (intradermal skin closure in face and neck lesions with adhesive tape) had statistically highly significant difference (p<0.001) visual analogue score than group A (intradermal skin closure in face and neck lesions without adhesive tape). It can be said that intradermal skin closure in face and neck lesions causes better aesthetic scar than intradermal skin closure in face and neck lesions without adhesive tape. Adhesive skin tape has definite value in the plastic surgery and can be regarded as a specific modality for aesthetic scars in face and neck.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v3i1.14999 Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery 2012, 3(1): 7-12

Abstract:

Patients with brain function disorders due to stroke or dementia may show inability to recognize themselves in the mirror. Although the cognitive ability to recognize mirror images has been investigated in many animal species, the animal species that can be used for experimentation and the mechanisms involved in recognition remain unclear. We investigated whether mice have the ability to recognize their mirror images. Demonstrating evidence of this in mice would be useful for researching the psychological and biological mechanisms underlying this ability. We examined whether mice preferred mirrors, whether plastic tapes on their heads increased their interest, and whether mice accustomed to mirrors learnt its physical phenomenon. Mice were significantly more interested in live stranger mice than mirrors. Mice with tape on their heads spent more time before mirrors. Becoming accustomed to mirrors did not change their behaviour. Mice accustomed to mirrors had significantly increased interest in photos of themselves over those of strangers and cage-mates. These results indicated that mice visually recognized plastic tape adherent to reflected individuals. Mice accustomed to mirrors were able to discriminate between their images, cage-mates, and stranger mice. However, it is still unknown whether mice recognize that the reflected images are of themselves.

Abstract:

Problem The treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars has long been a concern for facial plastic surgeons. There are a wide variety of over-the-counter products that claim to improve hypertrophic scarring. Post-surgical patients often inquire as to which of these products will give the best cosmetic result. Silicone gel sheeting is reported to provide positive outcomes with respect to a reduction in scar hypertrophy and an improvement in color differences. The exact mechanism is unknown. Micropore (3M) tape, a cheaper and more readily available product, has also been reported to reduce scar hypertrophy. This study will evaluate the differences and effectiveness of silicone gel sheeting and micropore tape in the reduction of scar hypertrophy in an animal model of scarring. Methods Hypertrophic scar formation was induced in an established rabbit model that parallels human skin. Treatment of the animals' scars was divided into 3 study groups: silicone gel sheeting, micropore tape, or no treatment. 80 total scars were treated for 30 days after the complete reepithelialization of the created scars. Both photometric and histologic analysis was performed on the scars. Scar hypertrophy was analyzed with blinded observers using a visual analog scale. Histological analysis was performed using the Scar Elevation Index, a ratio of the scar height over normal skin. Results Both photographic and histological analysis showed there was a statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) in scar hypertrophy after use of either silicone gel sheeting and micropore tape when compared with controls. Conclusion Silicone Gel Sheeting and Micropore Tape are equally effective in the reduction of hypertrophic scarring. Significance Facial plastic surgeons should consider covering facial incisions with micropore tape for 30 days after surgery to minimize the risk of hypertrophic scarring.

Full text

Abstract:

Plasticulture, simply defined, is a system of growing crops wherein a significant benefit is derived from using products derived from plastic polymers. The discovery and development of the polythylene polymer in the late 1930s, and its subsequent introduction in the early 1950s in the form of plastic films, mulches, and drip-irrigation tubing and tape, revolutionized the commercial production of selected vegetable crops and gave rise to plasticulture. The later discovery of other polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyproplene, and polyesters, and their use in pipes, fertigation equipment, filters, fittings and connectors, and row covers further extended the use of plastic components in this production system. The plasticulture system consists of plastic and nonplastic components: plastic mulches, drip irrigation, fertigation/chemigation, fumigation and solarization, windbreaks, stand establishment technology, season-extending technology, pest management, cropping strategies, and marketing.

Full text

Abstract:

A method of growing newly germinated seedlings in small tubes was developed to enable the study of early root elongation. Three newly germinated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seeds were placed in tubes of various diameters and volumes filled with sand at several moisture tensions, and the tubes were sealed to prevent moisture loss. For the first 4 d, roots elongated at approximately 8 mm d−1 in polyvinyl chloride plastic tubes holding 60 mL of sand with a moisture tension of 100 kPa or less. After the initial 4 d, root elongation continued at a slower rate, and branch roots developed before termination of the experiments at 12 d after germination. At a moisture tension of 300 kPa, root elongation was markedly less than at 100 kPa, and was zero at moisture tensions of 500 kPa or greater. In round-bottom glass tubes, root elongation rate was significantly slower in a sand volume of 23 mL than in 65 mL, and there was evidence of slower seedling development as the diameter of the tubes was reduced from 20 to 15 mm. Wax plus masking tape or nylon tape were equally effective in sealing the sides of tubes formed from the two halves of a plastic pipe previously cut lengthwise. A plastic cap plus wax was significantly better than plastic film for sealing the bottom ends of plastic tubes. Neither aeration nor replacement of water with a dilute nutrient solution had an effect on root elongation of young seedlings.

Abstract:

An attempt has been made to fabricate highly cube textured ({001}<100>) polycrystalline nickel substrate tapes for coated superconductor applications using severe plastic deformation route. For this purpose high purity Ni (~99.97%) plates with widely different average grain size (28 µm or fine grained starting material and 650 µm or coarse grained starting material, respectively) are severely deformed by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) up to an equivalent strain level of (εeq = 6.4) and annealed at various temperatures between 300° to 800°C for one hour. Upon annealing at different temperatures, the fine grained starting material developed a much stronger cube texture than the coarse grained starting material. By suitable annealing treatment near 100% cube textured tape could be obtained in the SPD processed fine grained nickel tapes having a predominantly low angle boundary network. The observed difference in the strength of cube texture in the two materials could be explained based on the oriented nucleation mechanism of formation of cube texture. The present results indicate that SPD processing route such as ARB is very effective in fabricating high purity Ni or Ni alloys intended for coated superconductor substrate applications.

Abstract:

The efficiency of regenerative heat exchangers with heat-accumulating nozzles made of rolled corrugated tapes depends on the profile of their corrugation. It is technologically difficult to obtain corrugations of a given shape by copying --- stamping. It is technically more expedientto form such a profile by rolling between two rollers. The contact area is smaller, and the contact pressure is significantly higher. In this case, the shape and accuracy of the tape profile are determined by the accuracy of calculation and manufacturing of the profile of the rollers. The length of the profiling zone and the contact pressure depend on the diameter of the rollers. To apply the known profiling techniques when calculating the corrugated profile of the rollers, it is necessary to find the position of the centroid. However, the difficulty is in the tape between the rollers whose thickness cannot be neglected. Therefore, the problem is solved by rolling the roller and the rail smooth, where the tape with a profile formed on it is considered as a rail. The paper introduces a technique of roller profiling taking into account the above factors. When profiling the rollers, the springing of the tape, i.e., elastic aftereffect of plastic deformation, is taken into account. The suitable diameter of the rollers has been determined. The study results in a method developed for calculating the rollers corrugation profile, taking into account the established parameters, i.e., diameters of the centroids and rollers, and the rollers teeth profile correction value, depending on the tape springing during rolling

Abstract:

Embossing of LTCC green tapes allows the defined patterning of conductor paths and fluidic channels with excellent edge molding. However, basic process settings have not systematically been investigated up to now. We present a comprehensive overview, regarding basic process variables and new manufacturing approaches. Because the molding quality depends on the viscoelastic properties of the tape, rheological measurements were carried out. The influence of the basic process parameters, that is, temperature, pressure, time, and friction, were investigated systematically under the use of design of experiments. The influence of these parameters on the forming of micropatterns down to 10 μm was investigated, as also were the stress of the tape caused by the plastic deformation, the accuracy of edge molding, and the demolding behavior of the embossed tape. Optimum parameters were derived. From the analysis of variances it is clear that friction exerts the most important influence on the molding of fine patterns. Position tolerances of embossed patterns were determined and relaxation effects studied in order to ensure stable process conditions. It was possible to improve the leakage characteristics of valve seats by making use of embossed patterns such as smoothed metallization and a three-dimensional sealing ring. The leakage characteristic of valve seats could be improved by a factor of four.

Abstract:

The preparation of thin (ca. 200 μm) Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 planar electrolytes using the tape rolling technique is described. The processing and formation of these electrolytes involved several steps: (i) the production of a processable ceramic paste, (ii) rolling and cutting, (iii) binder burnout, and (iv) sintering. The rheology of these ceramic pastes is characterized by a hardness indentation test. The materials parameters which may be obtained from the hardness indentation test such as the hardness (plastic flow stress), elastic modulus, and plasticity index are provided. The rheology, as characterized by the hardness method, of the pastes is shown to be influenced by the nature and extent of processing aids and also the mixing and milling times. Further, it is shown that by using a paste formulation with appropriate rheological properties, it is possible to produce uniform thin green tapes using a twin roll mill. The binder burnout characteristics of the ceramic pastes were studied by using a specially constructed thermal gravimetric apparatus. It is shown that the heating rate and the ambient atmosphere have strong influences upon the binder burnout kinetics of these green tapes. Finally, it is shown that sintered Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.9 electrolytes, with a near theoretical density and with a uniform microstructure as well as a chosen near net shape, may be prepared from the corresponding tape rolled greens.

Abstract:

The effects of drip-applied 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin on fumigant soil gas levels and growth of vegetable seedlings were investigated in three separate tests in Tifton, Ga. Tests were conducted in Spring 2002, Fall 2002, and Spring 2003. Phytotoxicity of 1,3-D + chloropicrin was induced in the 2002 tests by applying progressively higher rates (0 to 374 L·ha–1) of drip-irrigated InLine (an emulsifiable formulation (EC) containing 60.8% 1,3-D and 33.3% chloropicrin) and planting vegetable seedlings within four days after application. Vegetables evaluated were tomato, pepper and cucumber (Spring 2002), and tomato and squash (Fall 2002). In Spring 2003, the effects of 1,3-D formulation (InLine versus Telone EC, an EC containing 94% 1,3-D), plastic mulch type [low density polyethylene (LDPE) versus virtually impermeable film (VIF)] and drip tape configuration (one versus two drip tapes) on fumigant soil gas levels and growth of tomato were investigated. Tomato was planted after the recommended 3-week waiting period. Fumigant concentrations in soil were measured using Gastec detection tubes at 1 to 4 days after drip fumigation in all three tests. Measured fumigant soil gas concentrations were correlated with fumigant application rates in Spring 2002, but not in Fall 2002. Vegetables were visibly affected by residual fumigant levels in the soil and showed symptoms such as leaf chlorosis (cucumber, squash and pepper), leaf bronzing (tomato) and stem browning and stunting (all crops). Fumigant soil air levels were negatively and linearly correlated with different plant growth parameters, in particular plant vigor. The cucurbit crops showed an immediate response and high mortality within 1 week after planting. Surviving plants recovered well in fall. The solanaceous crops showed a more delayed response and lower mortality rates. However, phytotoxic effects with tomato and pepper were more persistent and plants did not seem to recover with time. Overall, fumigant residue levels and potential phytotoxicity were greater in spring than in fall. Greater fumigant soil concentrations were measured under VIF as compared to LDPE plastic mulch. The effect of drip-tape configuration varied with the type of plastic mulch that was used. The double-tape treatment resulted in lower fumigant levels at the bed center under LDPE mulch, and higher fumigant levels at the bed shoulder under VIF mulch. The formulation containing 94% 1,3-D resulted in higher soil fumigant levels as compared to the formulation containing 61% 1,3-D and 33% chloropicrin, especially with VIF mulch. Early plant vigor of tomato was negatively correlated with fumigant soil gas levels, and was especially poor following drip fumigation with 94% 1,3-D under VIF mulch.

Abstract:

The creep response of a highly oriented polypropylene tape used for the manufacture of self-reinforced polypropylene or all-polypropylene composites was studied over a range of stresses and temperatures. Similar to oriented polyethylene, the creep compliance is linear viscoelastic at short loading times, whereas pronounced stress dependence is observed at longer loading times. A mathematical model is proposed, where the total deformation of the fibre is regarded as being composed of a stress-linear delayed elastic component and a nonlinear plastic flow contribution. Model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess whether measurements of thigh bulk taken with a tape measure would give an indication of muscle power. Eleven male patients, all undergoing unilateral menisectomies, performed exercises of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles during concentric loading at 60°/s. The patients were tested three times over a 12-week period: one day before the operation and 2 and 12 weeks after the operation. Thigh girth was recorded, using a conventional plastic tape measure, 10 cm from the top of the patella in each of the three test sessions. The results of this study demonstrated that muscle power cannot be predicted from thigh girth measurements.

Abstract:

The recycling of polyethylene (PE) film is a straightforward process, provided the material that is being recycled has come from a clean source and is consistent in composition. Most waste film recovered for recycling has been subjected to a series of ‘life cycle factors’, e.g. comingling with wastes such as dirt, packaging tapes, and other plastic film products. Such contamination can degrade the material's physical properties and this article presents quantitative data on the effects of contaminants on PE films. Results suggest that dirt contamination can adversely affect the elasticity and melt viscosity of the polymer, but the contaminant does not interact directly with it and that polypropylene-based packaging tape is more suited to mechanical recycling than polyvinyl chloride or cellulose-based tapes.

Abstract:

The paper reveals the key features of metal products deformation-strength properties obtained by them as a result of plasma-cavitating treatment. A strengthened cold-rolled tape of steel grade 08ps (Russian State Standard (GOST) 1050-88) was chosen as a model object. Samples of the tape were treated by plasma-cavitating method at certain values of technological parameters (power density and time of plasma action). Then they were tested in accordance with Russian State Standard (GOST) 11701-84. It is determined that the strength of the material remains at the level before processing. At the same time, the percent elongation at break increases essentially (up to 36.3% in relation to the initial indices). It is shown that the dependencies of change in plastic properties of the material on processing time at different values of power density are non-linear with critical points of relative change of percent elongation minimum, due to those physical processes that occur during the treatment period. The location of these critical points depends on both the power density and the time of plasma-cavitating treatment.

Abstract:

The presented research is a part of a broader study of strengthening methods closely associated with cold-formed sigma steel beams with tapes made of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Polymer/Plastic (CFRP). The presented results are a continuation and extension of the tests described in previous work by the authors and refer to high-slenderness thin-walled steel sigma beams subjected to a significant large rotation. The main idea of this expanded study was to identify the effectiveness of CFRP tapes with respect to different locations, namely at a bottom-tensioned or upper-compressed flange. Six beams with a cross-section of an Σ140 × 70 × 2.5 profile by “Blachy Pruszyński” and made of S350GD steel with a span of L = 270 cm were tested in the four-point bending scheme. Two beams, taken as reference, were tested without reinforcement. The remaining beams were reinforced with the use of a 50-mm wide and 1.2-mm thick Sika CarboDur S512 CFRP tape, with two beams reinforced by placing the tape on the upper flange and two with tape located on the bottom flange. The CFRP tape was bonded directly to the beams (by SikaDur®-30 adhesive). Laboratory tests were aimed at determining the impact of the use of composite tapes on the limitation of displacements and deformations of thin-walled structures. In order to perform a precise measurement of displacement, which is, in the case of beams subjected to large rotations, a very difficult issue in itself, the Tritop system and two coupled lenses of the Aramis system were used. Electrofusion strain gauges were used to measure the deformation. In the next step, numerical models of the analyzed beams were developed in the Abaqus program. Good compliance of the results of laboratory tests and numerical analyses was achieved. The obtained results confirm the beneficial effect of the use of tapes (CFRP) on the reduction in displacements and deformations of steel cold-formed elements.

Abstract:

Abstract. Drip irrigation under mulch has been applied in China for nearly 20 years, but sunlight damage from the lens effect through droplets beneath clear plastic mulch is always a problem that cannot be ignored. Droplet volume and mulch wettability affect the geometric parameters of the pendant droplets. Changes in geometric parameters were experimentally investigated by analyzing side-view images of droplets. Models were built to predict droplet focal length and light-gathering power based on the geometric parameters. A comparison between numerical and optical experimental results suggested that the focal length model was accurate and reliable. The effective incident area of the parallel light proposed in this study could also be used to represent the light-gathering power, which had a relationship with the drip tape burning rate. The increase in wettability of the clear mulch considerably increased the focal length of the pendant droplets, expanded the focal length range, enhanced the light-gathering power, and thus increased the risk of drip tape burning. In practice, pendant droplets with a wetting radius of 3 to 5 mm, with corresponding focal lengths of 5 to 12 mm, have a high probability of emergence. Therefore, the distance between the mulch and drip tape should be beyond this focal length range to reduce the risk of drip tape burning by pendant droplets. In addition, filming the mulch surface with hydrophobic materials to increase the contact angles of droplets can also protect the drip tape from sunlight damage. Keywords: Drip irrigation under mulch, Drip tape burning, Effective incident area of parallel light, Focal length, Pendant droplet.

Abstract:

Abstract The performance of the paper in a number of converting operations such as creasing, bending, printing, and plastic coating put great demands on the mechanical properties in the thickness direction of the material. The knowledge of strength, elastic- and plastic behavior in tension and compression in the thickness direction is needed for a comprehensive description of the performance of the material in these operations. In spite of its importance, very few publications deal with the evaluation of the entire tensile stress-strain curve of paper in the thickness direction. A likely reason for this is the intrinsic difficulty of testing a thin, uneven, porous, fibrous and compressible material such as paper with sufficient precision and testing time efficiency. The z-directional strength test is usually performed by fastening the paper by means of double-adhesive tape to metal platens. The platens are fastened in a testing machine and strained to break. The adhesion of the tape is the limiting factors for how strong papers that can be tested. The tape-based method also is expected to have a lower limit in grammage due to the penetration of the adhesive. The aim of the present publication was to show a procedure how to evaluate the entire stress-elongation curve in the z-direction of papers, using a lamination method for fastening the paper to the metal platens. From this curve the z-strength, z-modulus, z-strain at break, zenergy at break and z-fracture energy could be extracted. Such information is, so far, non-existing in the literature.

Abstract:

The development of alumina green tapes, made of water based binder systems, allows the structuring by so-called cold embossing. The cold embossing disclaims time expensive heating and cooling phases as needed for hot embossing. That allows a reduction of process time. The structuring by embossing becomes more practicable for high throughput manufacturing. For investigating the influence of powder amount and with or without plasticizer inside ceramic green tapes on deformation behaviour, tensile tests have been carried out. Furthermore, cold embossing tests with uniaxial compression tools were carried out. Channel structures allow investigations concerning stability against elastic recovery. In a first series of tests various green tape compositions have been investigated. As results inferences to the elastic and plastic material behaviour can be obtained. The characterisation of structured tapes in green state has been carried out by using SEM and scanning surface area by confocal white light microscopy.

Abstract:

Background. The use of provisional (interim, temporary) restorations has become a routine procedure in modern dentists after the end of the era of brazed-stamped bridges. The use of traditional acrylic plastics does not provide the necessary strength for the long-term functioning of provisional prostheses. Bis-acrylic materials have helped to eliminate some of the problems associated with traditional acrylic materials. However the disadvantage of bis-acryls is that they can break relatively easily when placed in areas of increased stress. The use of provisional prostheses, obtained by casting or CAD/CAM technology, undoubtedly solve problems, however, prosthetics are significantly more expensive. Another known and cheaper way is to harden polymers by reinforcing them. Objectives ― to study, when conducting a mechanical test, the fracture resistance of glass fiber-reinforced bis-acrylic composite beams. Methods. On a universal testing machine (three-point flexural test), 8 groups of samples were studied depending on the material — Re-fine Bright acrylic material (Yamahachi Dental MFG., CO., Japan), or Luxatemp bis-acrylic material (DMG) and Protemp 4 (3M ESPE), and also, the method of reinforcement of Protemp 4 with GlasSpan fiberglass tape (GlasSpan). The fracture strength (F) was calculated in MPa. Statistical differences between groups were determined using T-test. Results. Comparison of the fracture strengths results between the first control group (Protemp 4 bis-acrylic plastic without reinforcement) and other groups (glass tape reinforcement) revealed a significant hardening of Protemp 4 after reinforcement (p <0,05). Conclusions. The use of reinforcing glass tape with a full impregnation with an adhesive and a flowable composite increases the strength of Protemp 4 more than 2 times.

Abstract:

This study was conducted at Boch, Bhimeshwor-8, Dolakha, Nepal from January to May, 2019 to study the effect of scion variety and wrapping materials on growth performance of kiwi seedling rootstock. The field experiment was carried out in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design using four replications. The treatments consisted of four scion varieties (Monty, Bruno, Hayward, Allison) grafted onto one year old kiwi seedling (Actinidia deliciosa) and two types of wrapping material (Grafting tape and Polyethylene plastic). The measured traits included sprout length, diameter, number of leaves, and number of sprouted bud per graft, graft success, mortality and survival percentage of grafts. The success rate of kiwi grafting was significantly affected by the scion variety and the wrapping materials. Allison variety showed the minimum days (61.72 days) to first sprouting and the maximum length of sprouts, diameter, number of leaves and number of sprouted bud per graft at the final observation. Monty variety showed the lowest growth performance. The maximum graft success (96.87%) and survival percentage of grafts (93.75%) was observed in Allison variety statistically at par with Bruno and Hayward and the lowest graft success(73.44%) and survivability(64.21%) was observed in Monty due to high mortality of the sprouted grafts. Grafting tape was superior to polyethylene plastic in terms of days to first sprouting (64.08 days), number of sprouted buds per grafts, number of leaves, graft success (92.18%) and survival of the grafts (87.01%) at the final observation. Interactive effect was found non-significant. In a nutshell, Allison is the best scion variety for grafting under the climatic condition of Dolakha and the grafting tape was the suitable tying material.

Abstract:

For centuries horticulturists have attempted to modify the environment in which vegetable crops are grown. A wide variety of techniques, such as glass cloches, hotcaps, cold frames, hotbeds, and various types of glass greenhouses, have been used to extend the production season. The discovery and development of the polyethylene polymer in the late 1930s, and its subsequent introduction in the early 1950s in the form of plastic films, mulches, and drip-irrigation tubing and tape, revolutionized the commercial production of selected vegetable crops and gave rise to a system of production known as plasticulture. Simply defined, plasticulture is a system of growing vegetable crops where significant benefit is derived from using products derived from polyethylene (plastic) polymers. The later discovery of other polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polyesters, and their use in microirrigation systems, pipes, fertigation equipment, filters, fittings and connectors, containers for growing transplants, picking and packaging containers, and row covers further extended the use of plastic components in this production system. The complete plasticulture system consists of plastic and non-plastic components: plastic mulches, drip-irrigation, fertigation/chemigation, soil sanitation (fumigation and solarization), windbreaks, stand establishment technology, season-extension technology, integrated pest management, cropping strategies, and postharvest handling and marketing. In the plasticulture system, plastic-covered greenhouses, plastic mulches, row covers, high tunnels, and windbreaks both permanent and annual are the major contributors to modifying the cropping environment of vegetable crops, thus enhancing crop growth, yield, and quality. In addition to modifying the soil and air temperatures, there are also the benefits of protection from the wind and in some instances rain, insects, diseases, and vertebrate pests.
