Abstract:

Based on the requirements for remote handling maintenance (RHM) of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) multilayered pipes, pipes cutting tests were performed under remote handling maintenance conditions. In this study, the results were obtained from different cutting directions and supporting intensities of pipe baseplates comparisons: When enough power was provided and the blade gripper did not slip, the cutting direction had little impact on the cutting capacity but more on the fault surface; the clearance between the blades caused the rotating torque; for remote handling maintenance, good horizontal support of the long-handled lever of the hydraulic cutter was required. Significant conclusions were made for multilayered pipe cutting that are crucial for auxiliary tools development for remote handling maintenance.

Abstract:

The activated sludge respiration inhibition test and the luminescent bacteria test with Vibrio fischeri are important bacterial test systems for evaluation of the toxicity of chemical compounds. These test systems were further optimized to result in better handling, reliability and sensitivity. Concerning the Vibrio fischeri test, media components such as yeast extract and bivalent cation concentrations like Ca2+ and Mg2+ were optimized. The cultivation, storage conditions and reactivation process of the stored bacteria were also improved, which enabled simpler handling and led to good reproducibility. Additionally, the respiration inhibition test with a prolonged incubation time was further analyzed using different chlorinated phenols as reference compounds. It could be stated that a longer incubation period significantly improved the sensitivity of the test system.

Abstract:

Purpose Based on the framing theory and the associative network theory, the purpose of this paper is to develop and test a model that examines the impact of employing corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication in apology statements after negative publicity. Specifically, this study examines the role of CSR fit and CSR history in reducing anger and negative word-of-mouth (NWOM). This study also examines whether perceived CSR motivation and skepticism toward the apology statement mediate the effect of CSR fit and CSR history on anger and NWOM. Design/methodology/approach This study was a 2×2 between-subject design manipulating CSR fit (high or low) and CSR history (long or short). Findings The findings of this study suggest that strategically employing CSR communication in an apology statement after negative publicity may reduce negative consumer reactions. Originality/value The effects of CSR history and CSR fit have been studied in different contexts, but the effects of mentioning the two components in terms of apology statements had been understudied. This paper fulfills an identified need to study how employing CSR communication in apology statements after negative publicity can mitigate negative audience reactions.

Abstract:

This paper presents a multi-degrees-of-freedom non-linear multibody dynamic model of a three-axle heavy commercial vehicle tractor unit, comprising a subchassis, front and rear leaf spring suspensions, steering system, and ten wheels/tyres, with a semi-trailer comprising two axles and eight wheels/tyres. The investigation is mainly concerned with the rollover stability of the articulated vehicle. The models incorporate all sources of compliance, stiffness, and damping, all with non-linear characteristics, and are constructed and simulated using automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems formulation. A constant radius turn test and a single lane change test (according to the ISO Standard) are simulated. The constant radius turn test shows the understeer behaviour of the vehicle, and the single lane change manoeuvre was conducted to show the transient behaviour of the vehicle. Non-stable roll and yaw behaviour of the vehicle is predicted at test speeds >90 km/h. Rollover stability of the vehicle is also investigated using a constant radius turn test with increasing speed. The articulated laden vehicle model predicted increased understeer behaviour, due to higher load acting on the wheels of the middle and rear axles of the tractor and the influence of the semi-trailer, as shown by the reduced yaw rate and the steering angle variation during the constant radius turn. The rollover test predicted a critical lateral acceleration value where complete rollover occurs. Unstable behaviour of the articulated vehicle is also predicted in the single lane change manoeuvre.

Abstract:

Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular and are playing an important role in the heat and cooling supply chain of buildings sector. Although more than 160 years have passed since the manufacture of the first heat pump, this technology, designed to recover lowpotential heat energy and its useful use, can be called an innovative and efficient energy transformer. Airtowater and airtoair heat pumps are becoming more popular today due to their installation cost compared to groundtowater heat pumps. It has been noticed that recently airtoair heat pumps are more often installed in modern air handling units. The main energy transformers in these air handling units are the airtoair heat pump and recovery heat exchanger. In the scientific literature little attention is paid to the thermodynamic cycle of the combination of the air handling unit and the heat pump, as well as the search for new possibilities to change and control it, this is a potential direction that can increase the efficiency of the whole system. To study the control capabilities of the unit, an experimental stand of the heat pump built into the ventilation unit is needed; it would help validate the results of theoretical studies and investigate the possibilities of expanding the control. Therefore, this paper presents a review of the experimental stands of nonintegrated heat pumps and integrated heat pumps in air handling unit. Based on this review, the basic requirements for the installation of an experimental stand of a heat pump built into an air handling unit are formulated and a conceptual scheme of this stand is drawn up.

Abstract:

There are limitations in existing conflict management instruments used in China. Therefore, we translated the Dutch Test of Conflict Handling (DUTCH), and then examined the reliability and validity of this Chinese Revised version (DUTCH-CR). Participants were 2,035 college students at 4 universities in China. We conducted exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on data from questionnaires completed by the participants. Our findings show that the DUTCH-CR is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the handling of conflicts between Chinese college students. Further, we found that 4 conflict-handling styles are more suitable for Chinese college students. This was achieved by merging the problem-solving and compromising factors into a collaborating one, and retaining the yielding, avoiding, and forcing factors of the original DUTCH instrument.

Abstract:

Abstract The dynamic stability of heavy trucks, as spinout, jackknifing, and rollover, is highly dependent on vehicle configuration, driving maneuver, and the force and moment characteristics of tires. Increasing safety requirements on the handling performance of heavy trucks demand tools that allow a tire design engineer to predict tire influences on the tire/vehicle system dynamic behavior. The computer simulation of handling performance of vehicles offers possibilities of evaluating influences of tire design changes on handling properties in any developing stage of new tire lines. Thus, modern simulation techniques may contribute to the building and testing of tires in an early design stage. This paper presents results from a recent program of tire/vehicle system research, applying tire/vehicle testing and simulation techniques to a 40 ton truck-semitrailer combination. The goal of this work is to visualize the possibilities of state-of-the-art simulation technologies on the tire design process. Tire force and moment characteristics can be calculated from the tire layout by an advanced tire model. The tire model for this type of calculation is a multibody system. Calculated and measured dynamic tire characteristics are used for the full vehicle handling simulation in ADAMS. Extensive tire characteristic testing on the road and test stand was done to improve and validate the tire model. Vehicle handling tests as steady state circular and lateral transient response tests were done for the empty and laden vehicle with different tires to prove the vehicle model. With the use of the simulation of the tire and vehicle behavior, the tire design engineer will be able to judge tire characteristics of different variants in an early design stage. Vehicle dynamic simulation studies up to instability as spinout, jackknifing, and rollover can be performed using modern CAE methods without harming man and environment, but subjective and objective tire evaluation still remains necessary for approving and validating the predicted results.

Abstract:

Particle emission rates measured from ultra-high purity, cleanroom gas handling components following the test procedures specified in the SEMATECH test methods are described. A condensation nucleus particle counter (CNC) having a counting efficiency of 50 percent at 0.02 μm in diameter was used to measure the total particle contribution from the gas handling components. A spool piece was inserted to measure the baseline particle concentration of the test stand before the measurement of the test component was carried out. Eighteen test samples, six each from three suppliers (two domestic and one foreign), in each type of gas handling components (valves, point-of-use filters, pressure regulators), were tested using the revised test method. Particle contribution data obtained for fresh out-of-the-bag, stainless steel (SS) test samples, 1/4-in. in OD, from different manufacturers are summarized in this paper.

Abstract:

Abstract The objective was to develop a protocol for a noninvasive behavioral test to assess goat–human interactions. Boer goats (n = 45) were housed in groups of 3 at the K-State Sheep and Meat Goat Unit. A 3-min human approach test (HAT) was conducted after their first- and seventh-handling experience (i.e., moved by group through the chute and scale). Video footage was analyzed using specialized software (Observer 11.5 XT, Leesburg, VA, USA). The ethogram included three main categories (mutually exclusive within category): 1) spatial (close, middle, far); 2) orientation (facing vs. turned-away); and 3) structural (lie, stand, and nutritive and nonnutritive oral behaviors). The durations of these behavior outcomes were converted to percent, and then applied to a weighted formula to create an approach index (AI). This index placed behaviors on a 0 to 100% scale (0 = lying in back of the pen; 100 = closest to the human, performing oral behaviors). The Proc Univariate (SAS v.9.3, SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC, USA) was used to evaluate descriptive statistics and calculate sample size for future projects from all behavior outcomes. In addition, each goat AI categorized as great approach (GA; ≥75% quartile), moderate approach (MA; 25% to 75% quartiles), or least approach (LA; ≤ 25%) and the 1st vs. 7th handling experience was evaluated using Chi-square (χ 2) analysis. The CV% was low for the AI outcome; therefore, less animals are needed if the AI is used rather than other behavior outcomes used. After the first-handling experience, there were less GA-goats than what was expected from the χ 2 analysis (χ 2 = 17.6; P ≤ 0.01; residual = 0.26; expected = 24.5). After the seventh-handling experience, there were more MA-goats than expected (χ 2 = 17.6; P ≤ 0.01; residual = 1.92; expected = 52.0). Repeated handling appeared to moderately improve goat approach to humans, which indicates that this protocol is a promising behavioral test to assess welfare of goats.

Abstract:

Environmental factors play a significant role in well-being of laboratory animals. Regulations and guidelines recommend, if not require, that stressors such as bright lighting, smells, and noises are eliminated or reduced to maximize animal well-being. A factor that is often overlooked is handling and how researchers interact with their animals. Researchers, lab assistants, and husbandry staff in animal facilities may use inconsistent handling methods when interacting with rodents, but humans should be considered a part of the animal’s social environment. This study examined the effects of different handling techniques on depressive-like behavior, measured by the Porsolt forced swim test, in adult C57BL/6J male mice. The same two researchers handled the mice in a gentle, aggressive, or minimal (control) fashion over approximately two weeks prior to testing. The results demonstrated a beneficial effect of gentle handling: gentle handling reduced swimming immobility in the forced swim test compared to mice that were aggressively or minimally handled. We argue that gentle handling, rather than methodical handling, can foster a better relationship between the handlers and rodents. Although handling is not standardized across labs, consistent gentle handling allows for less challenging behavioral testing, better data collection, and overall improved animal welfare.

Abstract:

Handling mortality occurs in mark–recapture experiments if animals handled and released in a given sample have a higher mortality rate than animals that were alive but not sampled. This violates the assumption of equal survival required for forming the Jolly–Seber estimates of population abundance, survival, and recruitment. We show that handling mortality can produce very large biases in these estimates, and we develop a test to detect it. We investigate the power of this test and find that quite large biases can be produced at handling mortality rates that are too low to be detected. We recommend methods to prevent handling mortality from occurring in fish sampling experiments and methods to reduce bias in the estimates. The test and the bias corrections are applied to mark–recapture data for a lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) population and to data from simulated mark–recapture experiments. Because of unavoidable inadequacies in the detection and reduction of bias due to handling effects, we strongly recommend that fisheries biologists take great care to prevent its occurrence.

Abstract:

Nowadays the use of insecticides are used in households to control many kind of insects that are vectors of desease. High-intensity insecticide exposure can cause poisoning and other adverse health effects. Insecticide handling behavior is one of the determinant factors of exposure intensity.The objective of this study was to analyze determinants of household insecticide handling practices in the Indralaya Ogan Ilir District. An observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach was carried out using cluster sampling. The study involved 150 housewives who have used insecticides in their households. Data was collected through interviews using questionnaires and observations using a checklist . Processing data was performed using software . Data were analyzed using a Chi-Square test with a 0.05 significance level. Research results showed there was a significant association between age and handling behavior of household insecticides (p=0.006). Also, education level significantly correlated to household insecticide handling practices (p=0.05); marital status correlated to household insecticide handling practices significantly (p=0.028). Significant association was also found between attitudes regarding handling behavior of household insecticides (p=0.035). On the other hand, employment status (p=0.165), socioeconomic status (p=1.000), knowledge (p=0.796), counseling (p=0.472) and insecticide waste disposal facilities (p=0.331) were not associated with handling behavior of household insecticides. It is concluded that there were significant associations between age, education level, marital status, and attitudes regarding handling behavior of household insecticides (Chi-Square test, all p≤0.05). However, employment status, socioeconomic status, knowledge, counseling, and insecticide waste disposal facilities were not associated with handling behavior of household insecticides (Chi-Square test, all p>0.05). Keywords: household insecticide , knowledge, attitude, handling behavior

Abstract:

The ability of a helicopter to carry externally slung loads makes it very versatile for many civil and military operations. However, the piloted handling qualities of the helicopter are degraded by the presence of the slung load. A control system is developed that uses measurements of the slung load motions as well as conventional fuselage feedback to improve the handling qualities for hover/low-speed operations. Prior research has shown a fundamental trade-off between load damping and piloted handling qualities for a feedback control system with cable angle/rate feedback. A new task-tailored approach proposed and implemented herein uses a method of switching between a load damping mode and a piloted handling qualities mode. These modes provide appropriate load feedback depending on the piloting task and flight regime. This provides improved handling qualities for maneuvering flight and for improved precision load control at hover. A new mission task element for precision load placement is developed (for possible inclusion into ADS-33E-PRF) to test the ability of the cable feedback system to improve load placement task performance. The improvements provided by this control system are demonstrated in a piloted flight test on the JUH-60A RASCAL fly-by-wire helicopter. The average load set-down time was reduced by a factor of two for the 1000-lb load on a 56-ft sling.

Abstract:

During the development process of a new passenger car chassis, certain aspects of the driving dynamics concerning comfort and handling receive particular attention. During this process it is crucial to maintain basic characteristics. One of these basic characteristics is the straight-ahead stability. It is also important that the driver can feel this straight-ahead stability through the steering wheel. With the wording ‘on-centre handling’, both aspects are addressed: the objective straight-ahead stability and the subjective feeling for very small steering wheel movements. This article presents a proposal for the objective description of on-centre handling. A new method is introduced to allow the calculation of characteristic values for the straight-ahead stability without any driver influence. The principle of this new method consists of a comparison between the measured and the calculated yaw velocities. The calculated yaw velocity results from a modified single-track model. The yaw velocity error is the result of the difference between the calculated and measured yaw velocities. After this error is calculated it will be plotted versus the measured disturbance variables (wind, lateral inclination). The vehicle response is more sensitive to the disturbance for a larger gradient of this graph. For the complete description of on-centre handling, it is necessary to characterize the steering feel. Characteristic values are introduced to describe the steering feel and the corresponding vehicle reaction.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the contribution of a hydraulically interconnected suspension on the handling performance of a tractor-semitrailer. A hydraulically interconnected suspension model is integrated with a traditional tractor-semitrailer suspension for the purpose of study, and the hydraulically interconnected suspension system is first investigated through the bench test simulation to study its nonlinear and damping characteristic. Then a static rollover test, a steady-state circular test, a pulse steer input test, a pulse road input test and a random road input test are simulated in order to fully investigate the performance of a tractor-semitrailer with hydraulically interconnected suspension. The comparison analyses are conducted among two vehicles which are a fully loaded tractor-semitrailer without hydraulically interconnected suspension, an unloaded tractor-semitrailer without hydraulically interconnected suspension, a fully loaded tractor-semitrailer with hydraulically interconnected suspension and an unloaded tractor-semitrailer with hydraulically interconnected suspension. The obtained results show that the fully loaded tractor-semitrailer has enhanced handling performance, an improved steady-state rollover threshold and unchanged ride performance with the assistance of hydraulically interconnected suspension.
