Nanopowders of MgO and $TiO_2$ were made by high energy ball milling. The rapid synthesis and sintering of the nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was investigated by the high-frequency induction heated sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibition grain growth. Nanocrystalline materials have received much attention as advanced engineering materials with improved physical and mechanical properties. As nanomaterials possess high strength, high hardness, excellent ductility and toughness, undoubtedly, more attention has been paid for the application of nanomaterials. A highly dense nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was produced with simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and induced current within 2 min. The sintering behavior, gain size and mechanical properties of $MgTiO_3$ compound were investigated.

Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) tree offers a wood of low quality and durability owing to its low density and thin cell walls. This study aimed to improve the properties of sengon wood by making the wood magnetic, producing new functions, and characterizing magnetic sengon wood. Each wood sample was treated using one of the following impregnation solutions: Untreated, 7.5% nano magnetite-furfuryl alcohol (Fe₃O₄-FA), 10% nano Fe₃O₄-FA, and 12.5% nano Fe₃O₄-FA. The impregnation process began with vacuum treatment at 0.5 bar for 2 h, followed by applying a pressure of 1 bar for 2 h. The samples were then tested for dimensional stability and density and characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) analysis. The results showed that the Fe₃O₄-FA impregnation treatment considerable affected the dimensional stability, measured in terms of weight percent gain, anti-swelling efficiency, water uptake, and bulking effect, as well as the density of sengon wood. Changes in wood morphology were detected by the presence of Fe deposits in the cell walls and cell cavities of the wood using SEM-EDX analysis. XRD and FTIR analyses showed the appearance of magnetite peaks in the diffractogram and Fe-O functional groups. Based on the VSM analysis, treated sengon wood is classified as a superparamagnetic material with soft magnetic properties. Overall, 10% Fe₃O₄-FA treatment led to the highest increase in dimensional stability and density of sengon wood.

The resilient modulus (M_R) of various pavement materials plays a significant role in the pavement design by a mechanistic-empirical method. The M_R determination is done by experimental tests that need time and money, along with special experimental tools. The present paper suggested a novel hybridized extreme gradient boosting (XGB) structure for forecasting the M_R of modified base materials subject to wet-dry cycles. The models were created by various combinations of input variables called deep learning. Input variables consist of the number of W-D cycles (WDC), the ratio of free lime to SAF (CSAFR), the ratio of maximum dry density to the optimum moisture content (DMR), confining pressure (σ₃), and deviatoric stress (σ_d). Two XGB structures were produced for the estimation aims, where determinative variables were optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA). According to the results' description and outputs of Taylor diagram, M1 model with the combination of WDC, CSAFR, DMR, σ₃, and σ_d is recognized as the most suitable model, with R² and RMSE values of BWOA-XGB for model M1 equal to 0.9991 and 55.19 MPa, respectively. Interestingly, the lowest value of RMSE for literature was at 116.94 MPa, while this study could gain the extremely lower RMSE owned by BWOA-XGB model at 55.198 MPa. At last, the explanations indicate the BWO algorithm's capability in determining the optimal value of XGB determinative parameters in M_R prediction procedure.

The interaction between blast load and structures, as well as the interaction among structural members may well affect the structural response and damages. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse more realistic reinforced concrete structures in order to gain an extensive knowledge on the possible structural response under blast load effect. Among all the civilian structures, columns are considered to be the most vulnerable to terrorist threat and hence detailed investigation in the dynamic response of these structures is essential. Therefore, current research examines the effect of blast loads on the reinforced concrete columns via development of Pressure- Impulse (P-I) diagrams. In the finite element analysis, the level of damage on each of the aforementioned RC column will be assessed and the response of the RC columns when subjected to explosive loads will also be identified. Numerical models carried out using LS-DYNA were compared with experimental results. It was shown that the model yields a reliable prediction of damage on all RC columns. Validation study is conducted based on the experimental test to investigate the accuracy of finite element models to represent the behaviour of the models. The blast load application in the current research is determined based on the Lagrangian approach. To develop the designated P-I curves, damage assessment criteria are used based on the residual capacity of column. Intensive investigations are implemented to assess the effect of column dimension, concrete and steel properties and reinforcement ratio on the P-I diagram of RC columns. The produced P-I models can be applied by designers to predict the damage of new columns and to assess existing columns subjected to different blast load conditions.

본 연구는 천연 목재방부제로서 피마자유(castor oil, CSO)의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 CSO를 감가압법으로 국내외 목재수종에 주입한 후, 주입능, 용탈성, 내후성 등을 조사하였다. CSO 주입능은 수종별 해부학적 구조의 차이로 인하여 솔송, 잎갈, 단풍, 신갈나무 순으로 측정되었으나, 모든 수종에서 목재 내로 효과적으로 주입되었다. 용탈성의 경우, 잎갈나무를 제외하고 주입능이 높은 수종에서 용탈되는 양이 많았다. CSO의 점도 저하를 위한 에탄올의 첨가는 주입능 및 용탈성에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 중량감소율을 이용하여 조사한 CSO-주입/용탈 시편의 목재부후균에 대한 내후성은 대조구와 비교하여 대부분의 처리목에서 매우 우수하였다. 특히 갈색부후균인 Fomitopsis palustris에 대하여 CSO만으로 구성된 약액(CSO-2)을 처리한 대부분의 처리목에서 부후가 발생하지 않거나, 매우 낮은 중량감소율를 보였다. 이는 주입된 CSO가 용탈과정에서 목재 내에 잔류하여 발생한 결과로서 X-ray microscope 관찰을 통하여 CSO의 잔류를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 CSO-2를 주입한 후, 2주간 염수에 용탈시킨 스트립 형태의 시편은 모든 절삭방향에서 길이 변화가 거의 일어나지 않았다. 또한 CSO-2 주입/용탈 시편을 야외에 2주간 노출시킨 후, 측정한 중량증가율과 길이팽윤율도 대조구 시편과 비교하여 매우 낮아 내수성이 크게 향상된 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 CSO는 목재부후균의 생장 억제뿐만 아니라 치수안정 효과까지 제공함으로서 다양한 실내외 환경에서 천연 목재방부제로서 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

고압나트륨등(high-pressure sodium, HPS 램프)은 작물 생육 발달에 필요한 충분한 양의 광합성유효방사를 제공하는 동시에 복사열을 통해 온실 난방 부하를 절감할 수 있어 겨울철 시설원예 보광 조명으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 겨울철에 생육 중기를 맞이하는 시설 과채류의 경우, 작물의 정단부가 복사열에 영향을 많이 받고, 캐노피 위치에 따라 엽온 차이가 증가될 수 있다. 또한 온실 기온 역시 보광등에서 발생한 열이 상부로 상승 및 정체되면서 불필요한 에너지 낭비 및 온도 불균일성 역시 심화될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목표는 CFD 열전달 해석을 통해 HPS 램프에 의한 열적 특성 및 생육 단계별 수평적 엽온 변화를 분석하고, 온실 내 수직적 기온 및 작물의 캐노피별 엽온을 측정하여, 온실 내 환경 균일성 제고 및 효과적 에너지 활용 방안을 모색하는 것이었다. 생육 초기, 중기, 및 후기를 대변하는 초장(1.0, 1.6, 2.2m)에서의 정단부 수평적 엽온을 CFD 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 또한 HPS 램프 작동 이후 수직적 기온과 캐노피 높이별 엽온을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 보광 시 엽온과 기온 간의 차이가 커지고, 수직적 기온 역시 불균일해짐을 알 수 있었다. 생육 단계가 진전될수록, 고온의 복사열이 중심부에 집중되며, 상단부 수평적 엽온 편차가 커지고, 균일성 역시 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 열획득 모델을 통한 수치해석 결과, 보광등이 2022년12월 기간 난방부하에 약 50.1% 기여하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 평균절대오차 및 평균제곱근 오차는 생육 초기 및 생육 중기 모두0.5 이하로, 실측값과 예측값에 높은 일치도를 보였다. 수직적 기온 및 엽온 분포와 생육 단계별 수평적 엽온 분포에 관한 본 연구의 결과는 효율적 에너지 관리 및 작물 생육 발달에 관한 의사결정에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In July 1993 a new prescription of the EC was finished, concerning the voluntary participation of enterprises in a common auditing system. By this in the EC-member countries there must be founded centers of environmental auditing where experienced experts of environmental auditing should be accredited. These accredited experts are controllers for evaluating and certification of carried out environmental-auditings. An environmental-auditing practically represents an environmental assessment for an already existing enterprise with establishing corresponding programmes and strategies for the internal management to improve the environmental relations. Much experiences, which could be collected in the field of EIA during the last years may be transfered to this new task immediately. Only an essential difference there should not be overseen because of national legislation EIA in the defined cases must be carried out. By the EC-prescription carrying out an environmental-auditing for an enterprise is optional, it is recommended only. It was not introduced as a must. In spite of this fact because of the hard competition on the market there will be developed a pressure for the enterprises, to carry out such environmental-auditings. At present already a number of first projects in this direction can be seen, in the first line above all enterprises with the necessary economic power want to use this possibility, to gain better positions on the market. We have already gathered the first experiences in this field. We arranged corresponding contacts to several enterprises within the surroundings of Dresden. Within an opening discussion, where the project is explained and discussed with the management of the enterprise very detailed, the understanding, the readiness and the cooperation for the project are generated necessary prerequesits for the success of the whole work. By means of careful detail-work in collaboration with all departments and on all levels of the enterprise the total mass and energy-balances of the factory established and analysed. There are included also such ranges like material delivery, personal policy, public relations and sale as well as waste management. It is important that all people working in the factory have the feeling to be our partners, and not to have the impression to be checked or controled by an outside organization. This one of the most important factors of environmental auditing, in order to wake up and to develop a common interest on all sides. At the end of the environmental auditing there will be according to the prescription of the EC a catalogue of measures to do immediately, short time, mean time and long time for improvement of the environmental situation of the enterprise. All proposals are made in connection with a corresponding economic evaluation. These measures and programmes are declared as the environmental manual and are the basis for the work of the environmental management of the enterprise for the next three years. According to the EC-prescription, the enterprise with this environmental manual can get a corresponding certificate, which may be used for public relation purposes.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to review the combination effects and adverse effects of Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) on the treatment of obesity. Methods : Four databases were searched, including Pubmed, National assembly library, RISS4u, and NDSL, for studies published before March 31, 2016 using the keywords 'yerba mate', 'Ilex paraguariensis', and those related to 'obesity'. Clinical trials, and both in vivo and in vitro studies were classified according to the following categories: publication year, nationality, types and composition of test compounds, combination effects, adverse effects, and safety. Results : A total of 16 articles (14 clinical trials, one in vivo, one in vitro) were included in the analysis. Combination effects were reported from six YGD (Yerba Mate, Guarana, Damiana, Zotrim), five Meltdown, one Shred-matrix, one DBX (DymaBurn Xtreme), one XSIII research study, and adverse effects were reported from two YGD (Zotrim), four Meltdown, one Shred-matrix and one MetEF research study. YGD and Shred-matrix increased satiety while YGD and MetEF had adverse gastrointestinal effects potentially due to guarana. Meltdown and Shred-matrix increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation and had the adverse effects of increased heart rate and blood pressure due to the thermogenic effect of caffeine and yohimbine. DBX increased resting energy expenditure but no difference was observed in respiratory exchange ratio. XSIII reduced body weight gain and food intake more than each of the extracts did on their own. Conclusion : Taken together, the combination effects and adverse effects differed according to the composition of test compounds and the ratio of ingredients. Multicomponent approaches should be used for treating multifactorial diseases such as obesity. As a general conclusion, there is a place for a combination of herbal components including yerba mate, based on the principle of Kun-Shin-Choa-Sa for the treatment of obesity.
