Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Post-Flutter Limit Cycle Oscillations on a Cantilevered Flat Plate

Futuristic aircraft designs and novel aircraft such as High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) involve a higher level of structural flexibility than in conventional aircraft. Even at present, the trends in the aviation industry are to increase wing length (to reduce induced drag) and maxi- mize use of composites, which lead to increased structural flexibility. This necessitates a rethink of conventional (linear) aeroelastic analysis, since the increased flexibility results in coupling between the flight dynamic and aeroelastic dynamics, and consequently, limit-cycle oscillations of the structure. In this paper, a new three-dimensional low-order model for unsteady aerody- namics that accounts for large oscillation amplitudes and nonplanar wakes is developed. An experiment with a cantilevered flat plate at low Reynolds number is set up and used to validate the low-order model, as well as to study post-flutter limit-cycle oscillations. Results from the low-order model are promising, but show that aerodynamic nonlinearities such as flow sepa- ration and leading-edge vortex shedding must also be modeled in order to predict all possible limit-cycle oscillations of the aeroelastic system

Synthesis of Nanofiltration Membrane Developed from Triethanolamine (TEOA) and Trimesoyl Chloride (TMC) for Separation of Xylose from Glucose

Synthesis of thin film composite (TFC) nanofilt ration (NF) membrane has experienced tremendous development since the concept of interfacial polymerisation (IP) was first introduced. One of its new application is on the separation of xylose from glucos e in biomass hydrolysate. In this present study, NF TFC membrane has been produced through interfacial poly merisation by manipulation the concentration of triethanolamine (TEOA) at 35 min reaction time with 0. 15 % w/v of trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The membrane was then characterised in term of their chemical and physical properties, and separation performance between xylose and glucose. The growth of thin layer f ilm depends on concentration of TEOA as the monomer and reaction time. As concentration of TEOA and re action time increased, the layer of the TFC becomes thicker thus decreases the permeability of the membrane. Contradicted to this study, the lowest and the highest permeability were recorded at 4 % w/v of TEOA and 8 % w/v of TEOA at reaction time of 35-min in TMC. The TFC membrane prepared with 4 % w/v TEOA has high in permeate flux, resultant in high xylose separation of 1.3. Low permeate flux but moderate xylose separation factor of 0.93 was obtained for the TFC membrane prepared with 8 % w/v TEOA

Hubungan antara Keterampilan Sosial dan Kecanduan Situs Jejaring Sosial pada Masa Dewasa Awal

Hadirnya situs jejaring sosial semakin mempermudah penggunanya untuk berkomunikasi secara virtual. Kemudahan yang diberikan melalui situs jejaring sosial disadari dapat memenuhi kebutuhan akan kehidupan sosial individu. Namun akan menjadi masalah apabila penggunaan situs jejaring sosial dilakukan secara terus-menerus dan berlebihan hingga berdampak negatif pada kehidupan individu, seperti kecanduan situs jejaring sosial. Salah satu hal yang diduga menyebabkan individu dewasa awal mengalami kecanduan situs jejaring sosial adalah keterampilan sosial yang rendah. Situs jejaring sosial, secara tidak langsung dapat menjadi sarana bagi individu yang memiliki keterampilan sosial yang rendah dan mengalami kesulitan dalam menjalin hubungan sosial secara face to face menjadi beralih ke dunia maya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meneliti adanya hubungan antara keterampilan sosial dan kecanduan jejaring sosial pada masa dewasa awal. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 200 orang. Pengambilan sampel terhadap subjek penelitian menggunakan metode non random sampling. Berdasarkan analisa data yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik korelasi Spearman (1-tailed) diketahui nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar r = -0,167 dengan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0.009 (p<0.05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis diterima, yang artinya adanya hubungan antara keterampilan sosial dan kecanduan jejaring sosial pada masa dewasa awal dengan arah hubungan negatif, dimana semakin tinggi keterampilan sosial yang dimiliki seseorang maka semakin rendah kecanduan situs jejaring sosial, dan sebaliknya apabila semakin rendah keterampilan sosial yang dimiliki seseorang maka semakin tinggi kecanduan situs jejaring sosial

Adenosine kinase inhibition selectively promotes rodent and porcine islet β-cell replication

Diabetes is a pathological condition characterized by relative insulin deficiency, persistent hyperglycemia, and, consequently, diffuse micro- and macrovascular disease. One therapeutic strategy is to amplify insulin-secretion capacity by increasing the number of the insulin-producing β cells without triggering a generalized proliferative response. Here, we present the development of a small-molecule screening platform for the identification of molecules that increase β-cell replication. Using this platform, we identify a class of compounds [adenosine kinase inhibitors (ADK-Is)] that promote replication of primary β cells in three species (mouse, rat, and pig). Furthermore, the replication effect of ADK-Is is cell type-selective: treatment of islet cell cultures with ADK-Is increases replication of β cells but not that of α cells, PP cells, or fibroblasts. Short-term in vivo treatment with an ADK-I also increases β-cell replication but not exocrine cell or hepatocyte replication. Therefore, we propose ADK inhibition as a strategy for the treatment of diabetes.Stem Cell and Regenerative Biolog

Relationship Between Personal Protective Equipment Use and Contact Dermatitis in Palm Oil Pesticide Workers

Contact dermatitis is the most common occupation-related dermatological disease. Skin contact with chemicals that are irritants or allergens continuously cause vulnerability in workers. Among the chemicals that can cause contact dermatitis are pesticides, which are often used in the community, particularly by palm oil plantation companies. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is one risk control for contact dermatitis. This study aimed to determine the relationship between PPE usage and contact dermatitis among palm oil plantation workers who dispense pesticides. Using a cross-sectional research design and a total sampling technique, the study analysed data on contact dermatitis obtained from workers’ medical records and PPE usage through random observations for three days. The results showed that 62.2% of pesticide workers had experienced contact dermatitis within the past three months, and there was a significant relationship between insufficient PPE usage and contact dermatitis (p-value &lt; 0.001). Therefore, the occurrence of contact dermatitis can be reduced by increasing PPE usage. Keywords: contact dermatitis, pesticide, personal protective equipment, palm oi
