Reducing steaming times in the printing of nylon/elastane blend fabrics via chemical modification

Nylon fibres are commonly used in blends with elastane. One of the problems encountered in the printing of nylon/elastane blend fabrics is the necessity of long steaming times for fixation, which causes an increase in energy consumption. In this study, the possibility of printing polyamide fabrics with 1:2 metal complex dyes for short steaming times was investigated. For this aim, laboratory and sample scale trials were performed to develop a method of chemically modifying fibres so that polyamide fabrics can be printed in short steaming times. Based on the results obtained in both trials, it was noticed that the steaming time for fixation could be reduced from 30 minutes to 15 minutes by printing with 1:2 metal complex dyes without causing a loss of printing yield and without affecting the fastness adversly in case of applying cationisation pretreatment with a modified quaternary polyalkylamine compound based product. © 2021, Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres.

1RXS J180834.7+101041 is a new cataclysmic variable with non-uniform disc

Results of photometric and spectroscopic investigations of the recently discovered disc cataclysmic variable star 1RXS J180834.7+101041 are presented. Emission spectra of the system show broad double peaked hydrogen and helium emission lines. Doppler maps for the hydrogen lines demonstrate strongly non-uniform emissivity distribution in the disc, similar to that found in IP Peg. It means that the system is a new cataclysmic variable with a spiral density wave in the disc. Masses of the components (M_WD = 0.8 +/- 0.22 M_sun and M_RD = 0.14 +/- 0.02 M_sun), and the orbit inclination (i = 78 +/- 1.5 deg) were estimated using the various well-known relations for cataclysmic variables.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, conference "European White Dwarf Workshop, 2010", Tuebingen, German

Penerapan Dashboard sebagai Media Pengumpulan Data Laporan Penulisan Mahasiswa di Widuri Menggunakan Rinfo Spreadsheet pada Perguruan Tinggi

Dashboard adalah satu aplikasi yang secara real time akan memonitoring berbagai informasi yang dibutuhkan oleh suatu organisasi atau Perusahaan dengan berbagai macam format. Dengan adanya perkembangan teknologi informasi yang canggih, saat ini Widuri yang merupakan salah satu website yang ada di Perguruan Tinggi Raharja ternyata belum menerapkan dashboard pada website tersebut sehingga menyulitkan para admin widuri dalam merekap laporan performa widuri wayang. Maka diperlukannya penerapan dashboard pelaporan penulisan Widuri pada Website Widuri dengan menggunakan mediawiki yang bisa menampung dan mengolah data untuk dijadikan sebuah informasi yang dibutuhkan. Kata kunci : Dashboard, Widuri, Informasi Dashboard is an application that in real time will monitor various information needed by an organization or company with various formats. With the development of sophisticated information technology, this time Widuri is one of the websites in the College Raharja was not yet apply the dashboard on the website so difficult for the administrators of widuri in recording performance reports puppet widuri. So the need for the application of dashboard reporting Widuri writing on Widuri Website by using mediawiki that can accommodate and process data to be a needed information.

Shot peening effect on surface properties and pitting corrosion resistance of biomedical structural steel AISI 316L

AISI 316L is used in biomedical engineering as bone implant materials. The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of this material can be improved by shot peening. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of shot peening on surface roughness, hardness, wettability, and pitting corrosion resistance of AISI 316L in 0,9 % NaCl solution. The shot-peening was performed on AISI 316L surfaces with duration of 0, 2, 4, 10, 20, 30 minutes using steel balls with a diameter of 0,6 mm and hardness of 40 - 50 HRC. The results show that shot peening increase roughness after 2 minutes then decrease the roughness with increasing time. The longer duration of shot peening will increase the pitting corrosion resistance

Analysis of reflection effects in HS 2333+3927

The results of photometric and spectroscopic observations of the pre-cataclysmic variable HS 2333+3927, which is a HW Vir binary system, are analyzed. The parameters of the sdB subdwarf companion (T eff = 37 500 ± 500 K, log g = 5.7 ± 0.05) and the chemical composition of its atmosphere are refined using a spectrum of the binary system obtained at minimum brightness. Reflection effects can fully explain the observed brightness variations of HS 2333+3927, changes in the HI and HeI line profiles, and distortions of the radial-velocity curve of the primary star. A new method for determining the component-mass ratios in HW Vir binaries, based on their radial-velocity curves and models of irradiated atmospheres, is proposed. The set of parameters obtained for the binary components corresponds to models of horizontal-branch sdB subdwarfs and main-sequence stars. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Investigation of the new cataclysmic variable 1RXS J180834.7+101041

We present the results of our photometric and spectroscopic studies of the new eclipsing cataclysmic variable star 1RXS J180834. 7+101041. Its spectrum exhibits double-peaked hydrogen and helium emission lines. The Doppler maps constructed from hydrogen lines show a nonuniform distribution of emission in the disk similar to that observed in IP Peg. This suggests that the object can be a cataclysmic variable with tidal density waves in the disk. We have determined the component masses (M WD = 0.8 ± 0.22M ⊙ and M RD = 0.14 ± 0.02M ⊙) and the binary inclination (i = 78° ± 1.5°) based on well-known relations between parameters for cataclysmic variable stars. We have modeled the binary light curves and showed that the model of a disk with two spots is capable of explaining the main observed features of the light curves. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

The simulation of mechanical stimulation effect on bone elasticity limit based on finite element method (FEM)

Osteoporosis is a disease affecting bones which is characterized by decreased bone density; bones become porous and susceptible to fractures. Osteoporosis occurs because of an imbalance during bone remodeling phase between resorption and formation processes. This study aims to simulate the effects of mechanical stimulations on the femoral bone elasticity limit. It is hoped that these mechanical stimuli can provide information on bone elasticity limits. Initially, we constructed the femur in two layers using triangular elements. Then we entered the bone properties (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio) based on the age of the femur. After that we calculated the value of the stress, strain, and strain rate in the reversal phase. Next, we calculated the bone density using the thermodynamic equation and calculation of the bone elasticity limit using particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods. The value of stress and strain caused by walking is higher than the value of stress and strain when standing still. In this case, the difference in activity results an increase in stress by 33.82% and an increase in strain and strain rate by 34.57%. Based on these simulation results, it can be concluded that mechanical stimulation can increase the limit of bone elasticity to 2.99% in cortical bone and 0.975% in trabecular bone. Bone elasticity limit can be used to determine the level of osteoporosis that occurs. The higher value of the bone elasticity, the smaller the possibility of osteoporosis

A Semantic-Driven Model for Ranking Digital Learning Objects Based on Diversity in the User Comments

This paper presents a computational model for measuring diversity in terms of variety, balance and disparity. This model is informed by the Stirling’s framework for understanding diversity from social science and underpinned by semantic techniques from computer science. A case study in learning is used to illustrate the application of the model. It is driven by the desire to broaden learners’ perspectives in an increasingly diverse and inclusive society. For example, interpreting body language in a job interview may be influenced by the different background of observers. With the explosion of digital objects on social platforms, selecting the appropriate ones for learning can be challenging and time consuming. The case study uses over 2000 annotated comments from 51 YouTube videos on job interviews. Diversity indicators are produced based on the comments for each video, which in turn facilitate the ranking of the videos according to the degree of diversity in the comments for the selected domain
