Mass-rearing of the redlegged ham beetle, Necrobia rufipes De Geer (Coleoptera: Cleridae) for laboratory research

A new protocol for mass-rearing the redlegged ham beetle, Necrobia rufipes De Geer, in the laboratory is described, that facilitates the production of large numbers of insects with minimal handling. A culture medium comprised of finely ground (150 μm) dried fish, dry dog food and pieces of dried cured ham was tested on N. rufipes. This rearing medium produced significantly larger population numbers when compared with a range of published and unpublished methods. When reared on this medium with initial colonies of 200 mixed sex adult beetles, there was more than a three-fold increase in N. rufipes adult populations from the original numbers over a 7-8 week period. This simple procedure minimizes cannibalism as the larvae were shifted into glass vials for pupal cell formation.     

Automatic small blend recognition from B-rep models for analysis

The recognition and suppression of small features from B-rep models play an important role in effectively generating the qualified mesh for analysis. This paper presents a new algorithm for recognizing small blends automatically for the purpose of mesh generation. The algorithm first transforms the input B-rep model into an aggregation of faces. Then, each face is judged to be a blend or not based on matching conditions. At last, the blends with larger physical sizes than a threshold value are excluded. The innovations lie in the recognition conditions and the unique calculating procedure of the blend physical size. Several examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the algorithm.     

Thermo-mechanical characteristics of thermally aged polyethylene/polypropylene blends

Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and their blends have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential industrial applications. Therefore, the current work has been carried out with the main objective of investigating the impact of the thermal aging/treatment and blend ratio (composition range) on the mechanical (tensile and hardness) and thermal characteristics (using thermogravimetric analysis in a dynamic air atmosphere) of PE, PP and PE/PP binary blends. Samples of PE/PP blends containing 100/00, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100 wt.% were prepared via injection moulding technique and thermally treated/aged at 100 °C for 0, 2, 4, 7, 14 days. The tensile measurements indicated that the yield strength and the modulus decrease with increasing PE content. It was also observed that PE, PP and their blends deform in ductile modes. They undergo a uniform yielding over a wide range of deformation, which is followed by strain hardening and then failure. The strain to break for pure PE is found to be much higher than that for pure PP and for their blends, intermediate values have been observed. The hardness measurements have also revealed that increasing PE content in PE/PP blends reduced the hardness value of PP, however, thermal aging at 100 °C has not affected the polymers hardness which holds also true for the tensile properties, showing a good correlation between tested mechanical properties. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a dynamic air atmosphere and derivative thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) were conducted to study the thermal degradation and stability of thermally unaged and aged PE, PP and PE/PP blends in terms of the initial (T_d and T_d(1%)) and final (T_d(99%)) decomposition temperatures and maximum decomposition rate temperature (T_max). All polymers start to decompose at no less than 365 °C. As for mechanical properties, the blend ratio has affected the thermal properties however, aging time has not.

关于“理想城市”的几点感知

在未来的20年,世界城市将以史无前例的速度和规模迅猛扩张。其中正在崛起的亚洲地区,特别是中印两国被认为是最典型的案例。交通拥堵,环境污染,房价飞腾,健康危害,安全弱化,文化丧失等问题造就了多种多样的城市病,离开了人,城市就不付存在。城市的所有问题都是由人而引发,中国城市最缺的不是知识、历史、也不是硬件的基础建设,而是城...     

Nostalgic research reflections

This research aimed to generate opportunities for UK construction companies, particularly contractors and consultancies with 50 to 150 employees to improve relationships with clients and to increase effectiveness through the exploitation of communication procedures and technologies. The research team used an action learning approach to work with managers from construction companies and housing associations to design and deliver support mechanisms, such as industry workshops, specific to the needs of SMEs. Analysis of the results showed how, as a result of interacting with other groups within a non-adversarial environment and benefiting from the process, partnering and performance improvement came to be seen as both desirable and possible. The trust and confidence generated from working together successfully also led construction SMEs to share good practice with others from the industry, including local competitors. The authors propose that SMEs should be treated as ‘leaders’ and ‘full partners’ within the programme for UK industry improvement being championed by Sir John Egan (1998), rather than simply recipients. It is also suggested that governments provide further support to ensure participation from small and micro firms.

Cette étude a pour objectif de geénérer des opportunités pour les entreprises britanniques du bâtiment, notamment pour les entrepreneurs et les bureaux d'ingénieurs conseil employant de 50 à 150 personnes, afin d'améliorer les relations avec la clientè le et accroîitre l'efficacité grâce à l'exploitation des procédures et des technologies de communication. Lors de ses travaux avec les responsables de la construction et de l'habitat, l'équipe de recherche a adopté une approche basée sur l'apprentissage des processus afin de concevoir et de fournir des mécanismes de support, tels que des ateliers industriels, spécifiques aux besoins des PME. L'analyse des résultats a révelé la f?on dont, suite à l'interaction avec d'autres groupes au sein d'un environnement non concurrentiel et tirant avantage du processes, l'amélioration du partenariat et des performances pouvait s'avérer à la fois souhaitable et possible. La confiance générée par la réussite de la collaboration a également conduit les PME du bâtiment à partager leurs bonnes pratiques avec d'autres acteurs de l'industrie, concurrents locaux inclus. Les auteurs proposent de traiter les PME en tant que ‘leaders’ et ‘partenaires à part entière’ dans le cadre du programme pour l'amélioration de l'industrie britannique défendu par Sir John Egan (1998), et non comme de simples récipiendaires. Il est également suggéré que les gouvernements fournissent d'autres subventions pour garantir la participation des petites et des micro-entreprises.     

Two-Step Processing Method for Blending High-Performance Polymers with Notable Thermal and Rheological Differences: PEI and PBT

Blends between high-performance polymers (HPP) are barely studied, especially those produced by melting processing. In this work, it is proposed a novel methodology to prepare blends between polymers with notable processing temperature differences: poly(ether imide) (PEI) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT). Processing parameters are settled after thermal and rheological evaluation of pure materials, those results suggest these blends need to be produced by steps. It is found a synergistic effect such as lowering PEI processing temperature and reducing PBT hydrolysis at high temperatures. Propose methodology allows to produce blends between HPP in the whole composition range with the same processing conditions.
