Abstract:
Carbon dots (C-dots) are fluorescent nanomaterials, exhibiting excellent structure-dependent optical properties for various types of optical and electrical applications. Although many precursors were used for C-dots production, it is still a challenge to produce high-quality C-dots using environmentally-friendly natural precursors. In this work, multiple-colored colloidal C-dots were synthesized via a heating reaction using natural plant dyes as precursors, for example, Indigo, Carcuma longa, and Sophora japonica L. The as-prepared C-dots have absorption in the UV range of 220 to 450 nm with the typical emission ranging from 350 to 600 nm. The as-obtained C-dots have a quantum yield as high as 3.8% in an aqueous solution. As a proof-of-concept, we used the as-prepared C-dots as fluorescence inks for textile secure printing. The printed patterns are almost invisible under daylight and have distinct and clear patterns under 365 and 395 nm light, proving the great potential in optical anti-counterfeiting. This work demonstrates the advanced strategy for high-performance C-dots production from natural dyes and their potential application in flexible secure printing systems.

Abstract:
Botanical printing is a method of printing motifs from plant parts such as leaves, flowers, and bark onto natural fiber media, animal skin, ceramics, and wood. Botanical printing products generally use mordants (metals and minerals) and natural dyes from species of seed plants. Research on pteridophytes in Tahura KGPAA Mangkunagoro I has been conducted in 2019, but is still limited to identification and has not been utilized for art crafts. The purpose of this study is to create textile products with pteridophyte leaf motifs from the Tahura KGPAA Mangkunagoro I area. The type of research conducted is qualitative descriptive research. Sampling was done using purposive sampling techniques. The creation of botanical printing art crafts uses textile materials from plants such as rayon and canvas. The textile raw materials are processed using steaming techniques. The research results show that 20 species of pteridophytes from 9 different families (Polypodiaceae, Thelypteridaceae, Lycopodiaceae, Nephrolepidaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Pteridaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Asplenidaceae, Athyriaceae) can be used as a source of natural motifs in the creation of botanical printing art crafts.

Abstract:
Long beans are a popular horticultural crop known for their nutritious green vegetables, particularly the young fruit and leaves. There have been numerous studies conducted on the cultivation and breeding of long beans. However, further research is required to obtain more data on preparation of stomata imprint and morphology. This study aims to examine the optimization and modification of stomatal printing methods on long bean plants to produce imprint in a short time with clear quality. The experiment was carried out from April to June 2021 at the Plant Physiology Laboratory, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University, using stomatal printing method on long bean plant leaves. The experiment consisted of two stages: first, the removal of cuticle and trichome; and second, the method of application of the printing material and the drying time of the imprint. Based on the experimental results, it was found that stomatal imprint of long bean plants could be obtained without having to remove the cuticle or trichomes. Applying a thin layer of nail polish for at least 20 minutes can produce 100% imprinted stomata, while using a thin layer of adhesive glue takes at least 10 minutes. Adhesive glue can be used as an alternative to nail polish with faster drying time and clearer imprint results in the stomatal printing method. The stomata number of long bean plants is enormous, with a density of 184-237 per mm2. The stomata type of long bean plants is parasitic.

Abstract:
Doubts about the true nature of recently introduced “water-based” screen-printing inks prompted research into the possibility of producing genuinely water-based inks in which both pigment and thickener are derived from vegetable sources. Literature suggests that not only is this possible but it might even be viable as an industrial process. The author's research concentrates primarily on the development of a range of “process,” or “trichromatic,” screen-printing colors from plants, for which the author has coined the term, “Phytochromography.” To complement this work, the author describes the establishment of an “ink garden” capable of supplying quantities of plant material for further research. Issues relating to the environment, occupational health and sustainability are also touched upon. Initial results of this research show considerable cause for optimism, although some problems remain.

The objective of the project was to point out and prioritize areas of intervention for cleaner technology in the Danish printing industry, with a focus on wastewater problems. The processes, chemicals etc. included are estimated to cover more than 90% of all professional printing production in Denmark today. The main tool used for appointing and prioritizing areas of intervention for cleaner technology was a scoring model combining environmental hazard identification of the chemicals with estimated potential amount of matching chemicals emitted to municipal wastewater treatment plants. Seven areas were pointed out as high priority areas and two of these were identified as highest priority areas. These two areas are “the screen frame cleaning in screen printing” and “the cleaning of flexographic printing/packaging gravure printing machines after use of water dilutable inks”.

Abstract:
Abstract Textile wastewater from wet processing units is a major environmental problem. Most chemicals, including dyes, are only partly consumed, resulting in highly colored wastewater containing a variety of chemicals released into the environment. This paper gives information on the current management of textile wastewater in Tanzania. A semiquantitative analysis was done to identify the main types of chemicals used in wet processing units, wastewater characteristics and existing wastewater treatment methods in the textile industry. The performance evaluation of the existing wastewater treatment plants is also discussed. The advantages of integrating constructed wetlands with the existing treatment facilities for textile wastewater are explained. It has been observed that pretreatment and dying/printing of the fabrics are the main two processes that produce wastewater in many textile companies. Main pollutants are chemicals used from pretreatment and materials removed from de-sizing, bleaching and scouring processes. Dyes, printing pigments and dye auxiliaries are the main pollutants from the dyeing/printing process. Most of the textile companies in Tanzania are equipped with effluent treatment plants. Wastewater treatment plants have basically similar units, which are coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation through clarifiers and aerobic reactor. However, their effluents do not meet discharge limits stipulated by the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS).

Abstract:
Context. Testing is a very critical process to evaluate whether a related function is correctly implemented in the control system. There is an upward trend to using PAC based control system in the automation production context. However, currently, most testing of PAC based controlling system is in manual testing, which has low efficiency and high complexity. Furthermore, there has been little research on the systematic testing of PAC in an industry environment. Objectives. Due to this problem, this study is to investigate whether a model-based testing method can overcome the challenge of manual testing and improve the testing effectiveness in PAC based controlling system. Methods. We use three steps to achieve the objective, and the first one is to implement a systematic mapping study to find existing model-based testing method that is using in the industrial area, what the process and the context. The second one is to implement a case study in a printing house, to see what the real challenge of manual testing, the third one is to find if exist MBT method could be used under such context to overcome challenges. Results. Through mapping study and case study, we found there are many testing methods and implement under diverse context, but none of them focus on the PAC based controlling system. And we found there exist MBT that also can be used in PAC based controlling system to mitigate some manual testing challenges. Conclusions. In our thesis, we implement a mapping study from 38 papers to collect data for existing model-based testing methods to have a deep understanding of this area. We found there are five main contexts that MBT are usually being used and we extract implement process and advantages and disadvantages for MBT methods which value to practitioners and researchers. And we conducted a case study in a printing house in Switzerland to observe the challenges of manual testing of PAC based controlling system. We found one exist MBT method that can be used in our context that makes the test case generation step more effective. And we proposed a simulation testing model that hopefully can address all the manual testing challenges by combined with the exist MBT method.

Abstract:
For this thesis, smart spraying robot was designed, constructed and tested to validate the concept of smart pest control. Electrostatic charging of sprayed pesticide was realized in a spray nozzle design that improved plant coverage and reduced wasted pesticide as well as soil pollution. A thorough investigation into electrostatic spraying was conducted, which was accompanied by extensive simulations and experimentation. The results obtained from the simulation experimentation on industry standard electrostatic spray system (ESS) nozzles along with laboratory testing of these nozzles, detecting spray coverage using water sensitive paper and additional optical spray visualization methods gave the necessary insight and experience required to develop a new spray nozzle. Additional COMSOL simulation and experimentation were carried out on a Fan Hydraulic Spray Nozzle (FHSN), the results of which allowed for the effective addition of electrostatic induction capabilities, thereby transforming the (FHSN) into Electrostatic Induction Spray Nozzle (EISN) which is one of the prime parts of the smart spraying system. SOLIDWORKS software was used in the designing parts of this nozzle which were then manufactured using a 3D printer. An AL05D robotic manipulator and a TTRK tracked platform from Lynxmotion ™ were the mini mobile robot components selected for the feasibility study of the smart electrostatic crop spraying system. This mobile robot was equipped with a CCD digital camera, a range detector, and path mark detector to provide the necessary sensors required by the smart electrostatic spray system. A Windows™ based mobile computer in addition to an ARDUINO™ based orksmicrocontroller system were chosen to provide the computational power required by the system. These were arranged in a master – slave configuration, with the main processing for images and motion being conducted inside the master computer using programs created by Matlab smart ™ software. The execution of motion commands and the operation of the range and path mark detection along with operating the spray nozzle were performed on the slave computer using C as the programming language. The manufactured smart electrostatic spray system moves along cotton crop rows with a camera that scans the selected plant for pest infestation on the upper and lower surfaces of plant leaves. When a pest is detected, the spray nozzle is targeted on it at the appropriate distance, and a burst of pesticide destroys it. The results of experiments have shown that using the electrostatic induction system improves coverage 3 to 4 fold and reduces soil contamination by 2 to 4 fold. The system has plenty of room for performance improvement, and future development will make it adaptable for application to other crops and applications.

CONVERGENCE OF PATHS

Within the vast urban fabrics live many threads of paths. These paths weave in, out, diagonal, above and underground forming city blocks that we well know. Events happen when these paths interact. They either weave into each other or separate into many. Sometimes a force or desire within the urban layout is so strong that cuts through the threads and weaves a new path that needs to be discovered. The thorn threads become the manifesto of the desire and the spectacle of event. A place is created.

When a singular path reaches a point of convergence with another path, their energy merge and transforms into a moment. There is a desire of purposely converge and communicate these paths into unexpected spatial encounters. At the point of convergence, strangers paths merge into each other blending all together into a spider wed of logical confusion, they briefly loose orientation, change form and ultimately experience an event in common.

Abstract:
Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.

Abstract:
O bambu é considerado um dos materiais naturais com a melhor relação resistência por peso. Entre as características responsáveis encontram-se os feixes fibrosos do esclerênquima, que protegem os elementos de condução de água e solutos na planta, além de serem preenchidos pelo parênquima. Os feixes estão distribuídos gradual-mente, da parte interna à externa do bambu, aumentando a rigidez do colmo. Contudo, a morfologia da seção dos feixes fibrosos e a presença da matriz parenquimática no caule ainda não foram totalmente estudados, quanto à sua importância estrutural, nem aplicados em estruturas biônicas. Esse estudo trata do design de estruturas biônicas baseada na caracterização do bambu, por meio de técnicas não-invasivas, de proto-tipagem e de análise por elementos finitos. Um protocolo de amolecimento e secagem para secionamento foi seguido em uma amostra de bambu (Bambusa tuldoides Munro). A superfície da amostra foi analisada por microtomografia computadorizada de raios X de alta resolução. As imagens resultantes permitiram a segmentação dos tecidos constituintes e caracterização em nível celular. Os modelos 3D do parênquima e do esclerênquima foram discretizados para uma análise por elementos finitos não-linear. Os resultados mostraram que o parênquima é configurado como uma matriz celular de baixa densidade e que distribui as tensões em todos os elementos de re-forço na planta, sendo considerado um tecido com importante função estrutural. De mesmo modo, a geometria da seção dos feixes fibrosos apresentou um desempenho mecânico superior às seções referenciais. Ambas características foram aplicadas no desenvolvimento de duas estruturas biônicas, sendo analisadas como mais eficientes em comparação a um modelo da literatura, e impressas em 3D para análise visual.
Bamboo is considered one of the natural materials with the best strength-to-weight ratio. Among the features responsible for its properties are the sclerenchyma’s fiber bundles that protect the conducting elements of water and solutes in the plant, and are filled by parenchyma. Bamboo fibers are gradually distributed from the inner to the outer side of the plant, thus increasing the culm stiffness. However, the morphology of the section of the fiber bundles and the presence of the parenchymatic matrix in the stem have not been fully studied regarding its structural importance, neither applied in bionic structures. This study addresses the design of bionic structures based on the characterization of bamboo, by means of non-invasive techniques, rapid prototyping and finite element analysis. A bamboo sample (Bambusa tuldoides Munro) was col-lected and softening and drying protocols were followed for proper sectioning. The surface of the sample was analyzed by high-resolution X-ray microcomputed tomog-raphy. Resulting images allowed the segmentation of the sample’s constituent tissues and the characterization at a cellular level. The 3D models of the parenchyma and sclerenchyma were discretized for a non-linear finite element analysis. The results showed that the parenchyma is set as a low-density cellular matrix by distributing the stresses among all reinforcement elements in the plant, being considered a tissue with great structural importance. Likewise, the shape of the fiber bundles’ section showed superior mechanical performance compared to reference sections. Both characteris-tics were applied in the development of two bionic structures that were analyzed as more efficient than a literature model, and 3D printed for a visual analysis.

Abstract:
The need for miniaturized, and high performance microwave devices has focused significant attention onto new fabrication technologies that can simultaneously achieve high performance and low manufacturing complexity. Additive manufacturing (AM) has proven its capability in fabricating high performance, compact and light weight microwave circuits and antennas, as well as the ability to achieve designs that are complicated to fabricate using other manufacturing approaches. Direct print additive manufacturing (DPAM) is an emerging AM process that combines the fused deposition modeling (FDM) of thermoplastics with micro-dispensing of conductive and insulating pastes. DPAM has the potential to jointly combine high performance and low manufacturing complexity, along with the possibility of real-time tuning. This dissertation aims to leverage the powerful capabilities of DPAM to come-up with new designs and solutions that meet the requirements of rapidly evolving wireless systems and applications. Furthermore, the work in this dissertation provides new techniques and approaches to alleviate the drawbacks and limitations of DPAM fabrication technology. Firstly, the development of 3D packaged antenna, and antenna array are presented along with an analysis of the inherent roughness of 3D printed structures to provide a deeper understanding of the antenna RF performance. The single element presents a new volumetric approach to realizing a 3D half-wave dipole in a packaged format, where it provides the ability to keep a signal distribution network in close proximity to the ground plane, facilitating the implementation of ground connections (e.g. for an active device), mitigating potential surface wave losses, as well as achieving a modest (10.6%) length reduction. In addition, a new approach of implementing conformal antennas using DPAM is presented by printing thin and flexible substrate that can be adhered to 3D structures to facilitate the fabrication and reduce the surface roughness. The array design leverages direct digital manufacturing (DDM) technology to realize a shaped substrate structure that is used to control the array beamwidth. The non-planar substrate allows the element spacing to be changed without affecting the length of the feed network or the distance to the underlying ground plane. The second part describes the first high-Q capacitively-loaded cavity resonator and filter that is compatible with direct print additive manufacturing. The presented design is a compromise between quality factor, cost and manufacturing complexity and to the best of our knowledge is the highest Q-factor resonator demonstrated to date using DPAM compatible materials and processes. The final version of the single resonator achieves a measured unloaded quality factor of 200-325 over the frequency range from 2.0 to 6.5 GHz. The two pole filter is designed using a coupled-resonator approach to operate at 2.44 GHz with 1.9% fractional bandwidth. The presented design approach simplifies evanescent-mode filter fabrication, eliminating the need for micromachining and vias, and achieving a total weight of 1.97 g. The design is fabricated to provide a proof-of-principle for the high-Q resonator and filter that compromises between performance, cost, size, and complexity. A stacked version of the two-pole filter is presented to provide a novel design for multi-layer embedded applications. The fabrication is performed using an nScrypt Tabletop 3Dn printer. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) (relative permittivity of 2.7 and loss tangent of 0.008) is deposited using fused deposition modeling to form the antenna, array, resonator, and filter structures, and Dupont CB028 silver paste is used to form the conductive traces conductive regions (the paste is dried at 90 °C for 60 minutes, achieving a bulk DC conductivity of 1.5×106 S/m.). A 1064 nm pulsed picosecond Nd:YAG laser is used to laser machine the resonator and filter input and output feedlines.

Abstract The printing industry has faced many challenges in the wave of globalization, digital revolution and green thinking and sustainable development in recent years, but it also brought new opportunities, such as the development of information technology, which has caused the industry to undergo a series of transformations and used online marketing to drive performance. growing up. However, most of the printing plants in Taiwan are mostly small and medium-sized factories or family-owned enterprises. Under the circumstances that Taiwan's industries are moving out of the country, the demand for printed materials has been greatly reduced, and the competition between large-scale printing plants and co-printed factories has been reduced. How small and medium-sized printing plants can respond to the rapid changes in the industry and how to cope with market conditions can improve operating performance and achieve sustainable operations. In this paper, Delphi Method research method was used to invite 21 experts and scholars to discuss together. After careful interviews and a total of three times of expert surveys of Delphi Method techniques, the relevant research materials collected by the collection were statistically analyzed and processed. We would like to discuss the consensus on "Key Factors for Small and Medium-sized Printing Plants to Improve Company Performance" and provide reference for small and medium-sized printing companies in Taiwan or other companies interested in making a transition to this industry.

Abstract:
AbstractInterest in manufacturing parts using 3D printing became popular across academic and industrial sectors because of its improved reliability and accessibility. With the necessity of self-sustentation, growing plant in space is one of the most popular topics. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the best candidates for sprouting substrate with 3D printing fabrication as it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and suitable for extrusion-based 3D printing. Soybeans were placed into the designed and printed CMC gel with different orientations. Without visible light, soybeans with hilum facing side had the highest water absorption average comparing those facing up or down. Hydrogel weight dominated the water absorption efficiency. These findings signified that bean orientation affects the sprouting process. This study demonstrates the substrate geometry and seed orientation impacts on germination of soybeans, proposed guidelines for optimizing the sprouting process for high-level edible plants and promoting innovated in-space seed nursery approach.

Abstract:
AbstractExcessive gamma-rays will be emitted when a nuclear power plant is under the refueling overhaul, leading to a certain number of hotspots. To meet the shielding requirements of these hotspots of complex components, a nylon-tungsten shielding composite material was developed by laser selective sintering 3D printing technology. The effects to shielding performance of 3D printing shielding materials were emphatically studied for two preparation processes (including mechanical mixing method and coating method) of 3D printing composite powders. Experimental results show that the nylon-tungsten shielding composite material with tungsten content of 70–85% was obtained by 3D printing technology, which realizes the manufacture of mold-free customized and bonded shielding materials. The shielding material prepared by 3D printing technology by coating method is better than that by mechanical mixing method in shielding performance. When the mass ratio of tungsten powders is 80%, the linear attenuation coefficient can reach 0.32, which is the best formula of the composite material and can be used for shielding of complex components. All these results lay a theoretical foundation for the engineering application of 3D printing shielding materials.

Abstract:
AbstractA research team at Florida International University Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab has developed a novel method for 3d-printing curved open grid core sandwich structures using a thermoplastic extruder mounted on a robotic arm. This print-on-print additive manufacturing (AM) method relies on the 3d modeling software Rhinoceros and its parametric software plugin Grasshopper with Kuka-Parametric Robotic Control (Kuka-PRC) to convert NURBS surfaces into multi-bias additive manufacturing (MBAM) toolpaths. While several high-profile projects including the University of Stuttgart ICD/ITKE Research Pavilions 2014–15 and 2016–17, ETH-Digital Building Technologies project Levis Ergon Chair 2018, and 3D printed chair using Robotic Hybrid Manufacturing at Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) 2019, have previously demonstrated the feasibility of 3d printing with either MBAM or sandwich structures, this method for printing Compound-Curved Sandwich Structures with Robotic MBAM combines these methods offering the possibility to significantly reduce the weight of spanning or cantilevered surfaces by incorporating the structural logic of open grid-core sandwiches with MBAM toolpath printing. Often built with fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), sandwich structures are a common solution for thin wall construction of compound curved surfaces that require a high strength-to-weight ratio with applications including aerospace, wind energy, marine, automotive, transportation infrastructure, architecture, furniture, and sports equipment manufacturing. Typical practices for producing sandwich structures are labor intensive, involving a multi-stage process including (1) the design and fabrication of a mould, (2) the application of a surface substrate such as FRP, (3) the manual application of a light-weight grid-core material, and (4) application of a second surface substrate to complete the sandwich. There are several shortcomings to this moulded manufacturing method that affect both the formal outcome and the manufacturing process: moulds are often costly and labor intensive to build, formal geometric freedom is limited by the minimum draft angles required for successful removal from the mould, and customization and refinement of product lines can be limited by the need for moulds. While the most common material for this construction method is FRP, our proof-of-concept experiments relied on low-cost thermoplastic using a specially configured pellet extruder. While the method proved feasible for small representative examples there remain significant challenges to the successful deployment of this manufacturing method at larger scales that can only be addressed with additional research. The digital workflow includes the following steps: (1) Create a 3D digital model of the base surface in Rhino, (2) Generate toolpaths for laminar printing in Grasshopper by converting surfaces into lists of oriented points, (3) Generate the structural grid-core using the same process, (4) Orient the robot to align in the direction of the substructure geometric planes, (5) Print the grid core using MBAM toolpaths, (6) Repeat step 1 and 2 for printing the outer surface with appropriate adjustments to the extruder orientation. During the design and printing process, we encountered several challenges including selecting geometry suitable for testing, extruder orientation, calibration of the hot end and extrusion/movement speeds, and deviation between the computer model and the physical object on the build platen. Physical models varied from their digital counterparts by several millimeters due to material deformation in the extrusion and cooling process. Real-time deviation verification studies will likely improve the workflow in future studies.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the printed plant catalogues of eighteenth-century Birmingham nurseryman, John Brunton. More than lists of plants for the horticulturally acquisitive, their pages reflect the exploration, colonisation and commercialisation that brought a flood of new plants into Britain from around the world. Approached as cultural and material objects, the catalogues draw attention to the fruitful connection to be made between garden history and printing history and culture. This exploration illuminates new aspects of Birmingham’s society and culture in the eighteenth century that challenge our perception of a town more readily noted for its manufacturing than its marigolds.

Abstract:
Paper was the tool most used by botanists in creating and using herbarium specimens: to dry and mount plants, to take notes, to publish ideas, to package specimens for transport when sharing their work. In the sixteenth century, printing was still a relatively new technology and an important one to botanists since not only could books communicate their ideas broadly, but woodcut illustrations provided accurate information about plants that was often difficult to convey in words. Botanical artists were influenced by the naturalistic art being produced at the time, and printing had the advantage of accurate replication of images in a way that hadn’t been possible earlier with manuscripts. Botanists also experimented with different ways of presenting specimens and images, sometimes arranging them next to each other on a page or even painting in missing portions of specimens.

Abstract:
Abstract A form of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printing has been used to manufacture the impellers of anode offgas recycle blowers (AORBs) for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications. The material selected is Inconel 718, since it can endure the conditions and temperature ranges in which these systems typically operate. This paper presents details of the multiple process trials and the issues resolved to achieve a successful build, demonstrating the feasibility of the method for impeller manufacturing. Also discussed are the potential cost and design flexibility benefits that may be derived from 3D printing methods, particularly during integration of prototype and low count turbomachinery production runs. The paper discusses long-term goals of the project to support the reduction of cost of SOFC power plants by reducing the cost of balance of plant (BOP) subsystems, from design to integration.

Abstract:
The leather coloring technique using the eco-printing method is carried out by transferring the colors and motifs of plants on the leather material by direct contact. This process requires mordant to maximize the color. The use of mordant is done in three ways, namely mordant is done at the beginning (pre-mordanting), mordant is done simultaneously (meta-mordanting), and mordant is done at the end (post-mordanting). This study aims to determine the quality of eco-printing leather with the implementation of different mordant methods. The research materials were 16 pieces of sheep’s crust leather. The research treatment was using various mordant methods, namely pre-mordanting, meta-mordanting, and post-mordanting. Colorfastness, tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, flexibility, and fracture resistance were among the eco-printing leather qualities evaluated. The research was carried out in an experimental setting using a completely randomized design. To conclude, the best mordant method was carried out at the beginning of the eco-printing process on leather media (pre-mordanting), where the quality of eco-printing leather obtained of 5.44 ± 0.968 mm, crack resistance (distance) of 8.78 ± 0.97 mm, the tensile strength of 1743.64 ± 45.26 N/cm2, leather elongation of 55.15 ± 10.26 %, tear strength of 268.24±132.49 N/cm, sewing strength of 1247.12 ± 649.91 N/cm, colorfastness of wet rubbing rated 4 (good), and dry rub of 4 (good).

Abstract:
Abstract Certain types of Salvinia water ferns present a highly water-repellent upper surface along their floating leaves. This is accomplished through the use of structured trichomes, which create hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces. Particularly, there are four different types of trichomes found in Salvinia plants that present these characteristics. They are known as Cucullata type, Oblongifolia type, Natans type and Molesta type. However, these structures are characterized by very small sizes, along with complex shapes. With the advantages of high-efficiency, low-cost, fast-fabrication, and ability of producing microstructures, additive manufacturing (AM), known as 3D printing method, has brought lots of attentions to various academic fields. Herein, we apply a 3D printing method to create biomimetic structures designed after the trichomes on Salvinia. In this work, the hydrophobic properties of the four biomimetic structures were tested through the use of optical contact angle measurements after initial modeling through the CAD program Solidworks. Finally, an Optical Contact Angle measurement device was used to determine the hydrophobic properties of each structure. This study concludes that each of the four biomimetic structures based on the different types of trichomes of Salvinia have hydrophobic performance. In particular, the Natans type and Molesta type show superhydrophobic properties, with the Molesta inspired structure displaying the highest contact angle among the four types. These results suggest that future research into the trichome structures of Salvinia water ferns could produce biomimetic structures with enhanced hydrophobic properties and applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Well-trained personnel is decisive for a successful company. International business relations are increasingly demanding internationally recognised qualification and certification measures. The requirements are stringent particularly in sensitive fields, e.g. aviation and rail vehicles. No matter whether in aircraft engines, power station engineering or the printing and paper industries, numerous requirements on coatings are solved with the aid of thermal spraying. However, in order to be able to master what the language in standards calls a "special process" (i.e. a process whose final result can be checked by means of non-destructive testing to a limited extent only), there is a need for calibrated and monitored installations and parameters as well as for correspondingly experienced, trained and certified personnel. Frequently, ETSSs, ETSs as well as the qualification tests according to ISO 14918 are already integral constituents of contracts relating to thermal spraying (requirement of the German Railways according to DIN 27201-10). The article provides detailed information about training and qualification as well as about the certification of plants and personnel in the field of thermal spraying. Not only the significance of a quality management system but also the particular advantages of the GTS certification are highlighted in this respect.

Abstract Additive Manufacturing (AM) which is also known as metal 3D printing technique is one of the promising manufacturing processes due to the capability to process a complex geometry component. This is implemented in wide range of applications in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, power plants, etc. The aging nuclear power plant components and the obsolescence of those components has become a concern in this industry, and AM has come as an alternative solution for this matter. The Board on Pressure and Technology Codes and Standards (BPTCS) and Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards (BNCS) Special Committees started to study the application of Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technique for pressure retaining equipment made from UNS S31603. Also, later Korean International Working Group (KIWG) was also started a Task Group on Additive Manufacturing for Valves which focusing on Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Direct Energy Disposition (DED) process for pressure-retaining valve manufacturing especially for nuclear power plant application with the same material. However, the poor mechanical properties and performance, especially fatigue strength of AM materials become a concern due to the defects and flaws as the results of layering and multiple interfaces and welding related discontinuities. In this study, the fatigue strength of PBF and DED manufactured and Ultrasonic Nanocrystal Surface Modification (UNSM) treated UNS S31603 austenitic stainless steel was investigated.

Abstract:
The challenges associated with prolonged human space exploration missions require sustainable and innovative approaches to ensure the health and well-being of astronauts. Many indigenous plants around the world can potentially serve as valuable resources for long-duration space missions. The raw material Ischnosiphon Axouma commonly known as (Terite) is indigenous to the island of Trinidad. Before the 15th century, terite was used in weaving by the island's indigenous inhabitants to make household items, such as baskets for fishing, jewelry, and utensils that lasted a lifetime. Some of the weaving techniques used have been passed on to generations and are present today. The terite is cut from the stalk and split into equal widths to extract the raw material strands. The roots are left intact to ensure continuous growth; they self-replenish. The strands produce eco-friendly craft items such as; tabletops, lampshades, book covers, plates, teacup holders, and more. The leaves have the potential to be used to make sanitary plates and bowls. The inner part of the stalk is used as a natural fertilizer for plants. Thus most of the Terite plant can be utilised with minimum wastage. In this paper, a design thinking approach is outlined to help us identify and evaluate potential experiments that could yield innovative solutions to the challenges of space habitation. It also identifies the areas of study and the considerations that are necessary to long-duration space travel and the potential for the development of space tourism within the Caribbean region.In this paper, we propose potential experiments to begin to explore terite as a sustainable and multifunctional resource in space. The experiments are as follows:(1) Cultivation and processing: Experiments done in this area would focus on optimizing the cultivation and processing of Terite in space habitats and other planets. This would involve testing the feasibility of growing Terite in different conditions, including various lighting and temperature settings. Additionally, we would investigate the best methods for processing Terite, such as drying and extracting its fibres, to maximize its usefulness as a resource.(2) Construction Application: these experiments would examine Terite's potential applications as a material for construction in space habitats. We would test its mechanical properties, such as its tensile strength, elasticity, and toughness, to determine its suitability for different engineering applications and astronaut personal items to survive under space conditions. Additionally, we would investigate its compatibility with other materials commonly used in space habitats, such as metals and plastics.(3) Reinforced 3D printing: the experiment would aim to determine whether Terite fibers can be a useful and sustainable reinforcement for 3D printing in space, providing additional strength and durability to printed objects while reducing the need for synthetic materials.By taking a design thinking approach, we can not only explore the potential of Terite as a valuable resource for space exploration and long-duration space missions but also uncover new opportunities for innovation and collaboration across different fields and disciplines. Ultimately, this approach can help us design more sustainable, efficient, and user-centred solutions for the challenges of space habitation.

Abstract:
Abstract Thermal spraying is a constantly expanding technology within the surface technology sector, established long time in a wide range of hi-tech applications. Whether in jet engines, in power plants or the printing industry, endless coating requirements can be fulfilled with thermal spraying. However in order to master the “special process” – a term used in international standards and rules – calibrated and monitored systems and parameters are needed. Also, experienced, trained and certified personnel plays an important role to rule such a special process, whose results can only be tested by non-destructive methods to a certain restricted extent. Training and examination of spray personnel is aligned with the respective European training and qualification guidelines of the EWF (European Federation of Welding, Joining and Cutting). Passing the examination, especially for the thermal sprayers confirms their technical proficiency and skills. Additionally, it clearly influences the worker´s labour input and his quality awareness in the workplace. Compliance with standards like ISO 9001 or GTS-QM-Guidelines, means for companies to have their staff trained, qualified and further educated. Experiences have shown that - contrary to expectations - the complete EWF training is in high demand. Sectors such as aerospace, railway and power plant engineering are also increasingly demanding the qualifications for ETS – European Thermal Sprayer and ETSS – European Thermal Spraying Specialist.

Full text
Abstract:
The timing of dormancy induction and release is very important to the economic production of table grape. Advances in manipulation of dormancy induction and dormancy release are dependent on the establishment of a comprehensive understanding of biological mechanisms involved in bud dormancy. To gain insight into these mechanisms we initiated the research that had two main objectives: A. Analyzing the expression profiles of large subsets of genes, following controlled dormancy induction and dormancy release, and assessing the role of known metabolic pathways, known regulatory genes and novel sequences involved in these processes B. Comparing expression profiles following the perception of various artificial as well as natural signals known to induce dormancy release, and searching for gene showing similar expression patterns, as candidates for further study of pathways having potential to play a central role in dormancy release. We first created targeted EST collections from V. vinifera and V. riparia mature buds. Clones were randomly selected from cDNA libraries prepared following controlled dormancy release and controlled dormancy induction and from respective controls. The entire collection (7920 vinifera and 1194 riparia clones) was sequenced and subjected to bioinformatics analysis, including clustering, annotations and GO classifications. PCR products from the entire collection were used for printing of cDNA microarrays. Bud tissue in general, and the dormant bud in particular, are under-represented within the grape EST database. Accordingly, 59% of the our vinifera EST collection, composed of 5516 unigenes, are not included within the current Vitis TIGR collection and about 22% of these transcripts bear no resemblance to any known plant transcript, corroborating the current need for our targeted EST collection and the bud specific cDNA array. Analysis of the V. riparia sequences yielded 814 unigenes, of which 140 are unique (keilin et al., manuscript, Appendix B). Results from computational expression profiling of the vinifera collection suggest that oxidative stress, calcium signaling, intracellular vesicle trafficking and anaerobic mode of carbohydrate metabolism play a role in the regulation and execution of grape-bud dormancy release. A comprehensive analysis confirmed the induction of transcription from several calcium–signaling related genes following HC treatment, and detected an inhibiting effect of calcium channel blocker and calcium chelator on HC-induced and chilling-induced bud break. It also detected the existence of HC-induced and calcium dependent protein phosphorylation activity. These data suggest, for the first time, that calcium signaling is involved in the mechanism of dormancy release (Pang et al., in preparation). We compared the effects of heat shock (HS) to those detected in buds following HC application and found that HS lead to earlier and higher bud break. We also demonstrated similar temporary reduction in catalase expression and temporary induction of ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin and glutathione S transferase expression following both treatments. These findings further support the assumption that temporary oxidative stress is part of the mechanism leading to bud break. The temporary induction of sucrose syntase, pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase indicate that temporary respiratory stress is developed and suggest that mitochondrial function may be of central importance for that mechanism. These finding, suggesting triggering of identical mechanisms by HS and HC, justified the comparison of expression profiles of HC and HS treated buds, as a tool for the identification of pathways with a central role in dormancy release (Halaly et al., in preparation). RNA samples from buds treated with HS, HC and water were hybridized with the cDNA arrays in an interconnected loop design. Differentially expressed genes from the were selected using R-language package from Bioconductor project called LIMMA and clones showing a significant change following both HS and HC treatments, compared to control, were selected for further analysis. A total of 1541 clones show significant induction, of which 37% have no hit or unknown function and the rest represent 661 genes with identified function. Similarly, out of 1452 clones showing significant reduction, only 53% of the clones have identified function and they represent 573 genes. The 661 induced genes are involved in 445 different molecular functions. About 90% of those functions were classified to 20 categories based on careful survey of the literature. Among other things, it appears that carbohydrate metabolism and mitochondrial function may be of central importance in the mechanism of dormancy release and studies in this direction are ongoing. Analysis of the reduced function is ongoing (Appendix A). A second set of hybridizations was carried out with RNA samples from buds exposed to short photoperiod, leading to induction of bud dormancy, and long photoperiod treatment, as control. Analysis indicated that 42 genes were significant difference between LD and SD and 11 of these were unique.

Abstract:
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has significant potential to produce freeform, but structurally efficient geometries out of stainless steel, for use in the construction industry, however, there is currently no standardisation of the manufacturing parameters used to produce WAAM structures. This paper discusses an experimental programme carried out on WAAM 316L stainless steel plated structures to assess the effects of the deposition rate, which is directly associated with productivity. This programme comprises tensile tests on coupons extracted along different printing directions, geometric imperfection measurement (including surface roughness, waviness and overall out-of-straightness), and stub column tests designed to determine the local stability of unstiffened plates manufactured with different deposition rates. The applicability of current Eurocode design rules for stainless steel structures, including the ductility requirements and effective width equations, have been assessed based on the obtained experimental data.

Abstract:
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has significant potential to produce freeform, but structurally efficient geometries out of stainless steel, for use in the construction industry, however, there is currently no standardisation of the manufacturing parameters used to produce WAAM structures. This paper discusses an experimental programme carried out on WAAM 316L stainless steel plated structures to assess the effects of the deposition rate, which is directly associated with productivity. This programme comprises tensile tests on coupons extracted along different printing directions, geometric imperfection measurement (including surface roughness, waviness and overall out-of-straightness), and stub column tests designed to determine the local stability of unstiffened plates manufactured with different deposition rates. The applicability of current Eurocode design rules for stainless steel structures, including the ductility requirements and effective width equations, have been assessed based on the obtained experimental data.
