Development of a Filament Extruder Using Flow Theory with the Newtonian Fluid Assumption

This article presents an investigation of the flow characteristics of the polymer melt in a single-screw extruder and the design of a filament extruder to verify the above theory. The flow characteristics of the polymer melt in a single-screw extruder are likable to that of a viscous liquid between two infinitely parallel sheets, one moving and the other stationary. An integrated flow equation was then found for a case when the viscosity of a liquid remains constant in an isothermal extrusion. These flow behavior theories were then verified via the design and fabrication of a filament extruder for 3D printers

Theoretical and experimental analysis of the exact receptance function of a clamped-clamped beam with concentrated masses

This paper establishes the exact receptance function of a clamped-clamped beam carrying concentrated masses. The derivation of exact receptance and the numerical simulations are provided. The proposed receptance function can be used as a convenient tool for predicting the dynamic response at arbitrary point of the beam acted by a harmonic force applied at arbitrary point. The influence of the concentrated masses on the receptance is investigated. The numerical simulations show that peak in the receptance will decrease when there is a mass located close to that peak position. The numerical results have been compared to the experimental results to justify the theory

An explicit Fourier-Klibanov method for an age-dependent tumor growth model of Gompertz type

This paper proposes an explicit Fourier-Klibanov method as a new approximation technique for an age-dependent population PDE of Gompertz type in modeling the evolution of tumor density in a brain tissue. Through suitable nonlinear and linear transformations, the Gompertz model of interest is transformed into an auxiliary third-order nonlinear PDE. Then, a coupled transport-like PDE system is obtained via an application of the Fourier-Klibanov method, and, thereby, is approximated by the explicit finite difference operators of characteristics. The stability of the resulting difference scheme is analyzed under the standard 2-norm topology. Finally, we present some computational results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Comment: 19 pages, 56 figures, 1 tabl

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING MODELS IN TEACHER TRAINING: A CASE STUDY IN THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE, VIETNAM

The quality of education may be raised in large part by investing in teacher training. It contributes to the expansion and updating of professional knowledge, teaching abilities, and new and improved methods of approaching students. Teachers can also continue to grow individually via the refresher process, reflect on their teaching methods, and adjust to shifts in the educational landscape and the needs of their students. The purpose of the project is to identify an experiential learning-based teacher training paradigm that is efficient and workable. A pedagogical experiment using this model was conducted with two classes and 35 high school teachers in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam. The findings of the research, which used the document research approach together with expert opinion, demonstrate that learning via experience in teacher training has accomplished the desired objective in 5 key stages: (1) (1) Choosing a few standard lessons to organize to teach illustrations; (2) preparing to organize the illustration teaching after the standard lesson has been chosen; (3) practicing demonstration teaching; (4) organizing the discussion after attending the demonstration lesson; and (5) making personal plans to organize the lesson in accordance with the training's content.  Article visualizations

Factors Influencing Students’ Participation in Scientific Research: Case Study at Pedagogical Universities in Vietnam

Students’ scientific research receives a lot of attention from universities and colleges. However, getting students to participate in research is not easy at all. As a result, the purpose of this research is to identify the factors that influence students’ participation in scientific research. The study was conducted for students at pedagogical universities in Vietnam. The study employed a quantitative approach and a survey sample of 298 students. Cronbach’s Alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were used in the study to test and develop the scales. Furthermore, Multiple Linear Regression is used to determine the factors influencing students’ participation in scientific research. According to the findings of the study, three groups of factors influencing students’ participation in scientific research include internal factors, external factors, and student characteristics. The external factors have the greatest influence, while the internal factors have the least influence on students’ participation in scientific research
