Feasibility study of metal to polymer hybrid joining

The increasing demand for lightweight components has led to a huge exploitation of non-metallic materials such as polymers, fibers and elastomers in industrial and manufacturing processes. Recent trends towards cost effectiveness, weight reduction and production flexibility in industrial production and manufacturing processes has led to a growing interest in hybrid components where two or more dissimilar materials coexist to achieving specifically optimized characteristics. The importance of this research is to serve as a bridge to understanding the theories behind various joining techniques and the adaptation of the process for metal to polymer hybrid joints. Moreso, it helps companies to select the most productive and yet economical joining process for realization of lightweight metal to polymer hybrid components. This thesis is a literature review analyzing various materials that has been published on various joining methods for metal to polymer hybrid joints on the feasibility and eventual realization of the joint between these dissimilar materials. This study is aimed at theoretically evaluating the feasibility of joining processes between metal and plastic components by exploiting exhaustively joining and welding sources.

Acidic dissolution of iron oxides and regeneration of a ceramic filter medium

The dewatering of iron ore concentrates requires large capacity in addition to producing a cake with low moisture content. Such large processes are commonly energy intensive and means to lower the specific energy consumption are needed. Ceramic capillary action disc filters incorporate a novel filter medium enabling the harnessing of capillary action, which results in decreased energy consumption in comparison to traditional filtration technologies. As another benefit, the filter medium is mechanically and chemically more durable than, for example, filter cloths and can, thus, withstand harsh operating conditions and possible regeneration better than other types of filter media. In iron ore dewatering, the regeneration of the filter medium is done through a combination of several techniques: (1) backwashing, (2) ultrasonic cleaning, and (3) acid regeneration. Although it is commonly acknowledged that the filter medium is affected by slurry particles and extraneous compounds, published research, especially in the field of dewatering of mineral concentrates, is scarce. Whereas the regenerative effect of backwashing and ultrasound are more or less mechanical, regeneration with acids is based on chemistry. The chemistry behind the acid regeneration is, naturally, dissolution. The dissolution of iron oxide particles has been extensively studied over several decades but those studies may not necessarily be directly applicable in the regeneration of the filter medium which has undergone interactions with the slurry components. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if free particle dissolution indeed correlates with the regeneration of the filter medium. For this purpose, both free particle dissolution and dissolution of surface adhered particles were studied. The focus was on acidic dissolution of iron oxide particles and on the study of the ceramic filter medium used in the dewatering of iron ore concentrates. The free particle dissolution experiments show that the solubility of synthetic fine grained iron oxide particles in oxalic acid could be explained through linear models accounting for the effects of temperature and acid concentration, whereas the dissolution of a natural magnetite is not so easily explained by such models. In addition, the kinetic experiments performed both support and contradict the work of previous authors: the suitable kinetic model here supports previous research suggesting solid state reduction to be the reaction mechanism of hematite dissolution but the formation of a stable iron oxalate is not supported by the results of this research. Several other dissolution mechanisms have also been suggested for iron oxide dissolution in oxalic acid, indicating that the details of oxalate promoted reductive dissolution are not yet agreed and, in this respect, this research offers added value to the community. The results of the regeneration experiments with the ceramic filter media show that oxalic acid is highly effective in removing iron oxide particles from the surface of the filter medium. The dissolution of those particles did not, however, exhibit the expected behaviour, i.e. complete dissolution. The results of this thesis show that although the regeneration of the ceramic filter medium with acids incorporates the dissolution of slurry particles from the surface of the filter medium, the regeneration cannot be assessed purely based upon free particle dissolution. A steady state, dependent on temperature and on the acid concentration, was observed in the dissolution of particles from the surface even though the limit of solubility of free iron oxide particles had not been reached. Both the regeneration capacity and efficiency, with regards to the removal of iron oxide particles, was found to be temperature dependent, but was not affected by the acid concentration. This observation further suggests that the removal of the surface adhered particles does not follow the dissolution of free particles, which do exhibit a dependency on the acid concentration. In addition, changes in the permeability and in the pore structure of the filter medium were still observed after the bulk concentration of dissolved iron had reached a steady state. Consequently, the regeneration of the filter medium continued after the dissolution of particles from the surface had ceased. This observation suggests that internal changes take place at the final stages of regeneration. The regeneration process could, in theory, be divided into two, possibly overlapping, stages: (1) dissolution of surface-adhered particles, and (2) dissolution of extraneous compounds from within the pore structure. In addition to the fundamental knowledge generated during this thesis, tools to assess the effects of parameters on the regeneration of the ceramic filter medium are needed. It has become clear that the same tools used to estimate the dissolution of free particles cannot be used to estimate the regeneration of a filter medium unless only a robust characterisation of the order of regeneration efficiency is needed.

Ultrasound call detection in capybara

The vocal repertoire of some animal species has been considered a non-invasive tool to predict distress reactivity. In rats ultrasound emissions were reported as distress indicator. Capybaras[ vocal repertoire was reported recently and seems to have ultrasound calls, but this has not yet been confirmed. Thus, in order to check if a poor state of welfare was linked to ultrasound calls in the capybara vocal repertoire, the aim of this study was to track the presence of ultrasound emissions in 11 animals under three conditions: 1) unrestrained; 2) intermediately restrained, and 3) highly restrained. The ultrasound track identified frequencies in the range of 31.8±3.5 kHz in adults and 33.2±8.5 kHz in juveniles. These ultrasound frequencies occurred only when animals were highly restrained, physically restrained or injured during handling. We concluded that these calls with ultrasound components are related to pain and restraint because they did not occur when animals were free of restraint. Thus we suggest that this vocalization may be used as an additional tool to assess capybaras[ welfare.

Characterization of Lubricating Oil Using Ultrasound

This paper presents an ultrasonic method to measure small concentrations of water in lubricating oil. It uses an ultrasonic measurement cell composed by a piezoceramic emitter (5 and 10 MHz), and a large aperture PVDF receiver that eliminates diffraction effects. The propagation velocity, attenuation coefficient and density of several samples of water-in-oil emulsion were measured. The concentrations of water of the samples were in the range of 0 to 5% in volume, and the results showed that these low concentrations can be discriminated within a resolution of 0.2% in the studied range, using the measurement of the propagation velocity.

The Combined treatment of UV Light and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) in Grease Filtration Technique

The aim of this thesis was to identify the best grease removal technique with the application of low power of UV light to TiO2 coated grease filters. The treatment with various power series of ozone generating and ozone free lamps to normal grease filters and TiO2 coated grease filters were examined and the obtained results are compared to each other in this paper. The effect of ozone reaction was observed and compared with the effect of TiO2. The experiments were solely based on the photo oxidation and photo catalytic oxidation reactions. TiO2 is a green catalyst used in the photocatalytic reaction. Sunflower oil was used for grease production and tetracholoroethylene as a solvent. Grease samples were collected from the ventilation duct connected to the cooking hood system. Sample extraction was done in ultrasonic bath with the principle of sonication. The sample analysis was done by FTIR machine. The result determining the concentration of grease was the quantification of saturated C-H bonds in the chosen peak group of the spectrum. A very low power of UVC light functions perfectly with the Titanium dioxide. The experimental results have shown the combined treatment of titanium dioxide and UV light is an effective method in grease removal process. The photocatalytic reaction with titanium dioxide is better than photo oxidation reaction with ozone treatment. Photocatalytic reaction is environmentally friendly, energy efficient and economical.

Työn tavoitteena oli tutkia lujan nuorrutetun painelaiteteräksen P500QL2 hitsattavuutta ja koehitsausten avulla löytää optimaaliset hitsausparametrit ja lämmöntuonti teräksen hitsaukseen. Työn tavoitteena oli myös selvittää ja käsitellä kaikkien painelaiteterässtandardissa esitettyjen lujien painelaiteterästen hitsauksessa huomioon otettavia asioita. Työn teoriaosuudessa käsitellään lujien painelaiteterästen hitsauksessa huomioitavia erityispiirteitä, kuten lämmöntuontia, jäähtymisaikaa, esilämmitystä sekä hitsausaineiden valintaa. Lisäksi teoriaosuudessa käsitellään painelaitteiden valmistusta, painelaiteterässtandardiin kuuluvia lujia painelaiteteräksiä sekä keinoja lujien terästen hitsattavuuden arviointiin. Työn kokeellisessa osassa tutkittiin aineenvahvuudeltaan 50 mm paksun P500QL2-teräksen päittäisliitoksen mekaanisia ominaisuuksia eri lämmöntuonneilla hitsattuna. Kokeellisessa osassa tutkittiin myös myöstön poisjättämisen vaikutuksia liitoksen mekaanisiin ominaisuuksiin. Mekaanisia ominaisuuksia tutkittiin toteuttamalla koekappaleiden aineenkoetus menetelmäkoestandardin vaatimuksia soveltaen. Tutkimuksessa käytettyjä testausmenetelmiä olivat silmämääräinen tarkastus, magneettijauhetarkastus, ultraäänitarkastus, mikro- ja makrorakennetarkastelu, kovuuskokeet, vetokokeeet ja iskukokeet. Testauksessa saatujen tulosten avulla lujan painelaiteteräksen P500QL2 hitsaukseen laadittiin alustava hitsausohje. Hitsausliitosten testauksessa saatujen tulosten perusteella havaittiin hitsien lujuuden ja kovuuden laskevan lämmöntuonnin kasvaessa.

Talousvesilaitoksen saostusvaiheen tehostaminen esihapetuksella – Case Suomen Sokeri Oy:n vedenkäsittely

Diplomityö tehtiin Suomen Sokeri Oy:n vesilaitokselle Vihreän Kemian laboratoriossa. Prosessia tarkasteltiin saostuksen osalta ja tavoitteena oli sen kehittäminen esihapetusmenetelmän tai saostuskemikaalin vaihdon avulla. Tarkastelu tehtiin orgaanisen, kiintoaineksen ja metallien poiston, desinfiointitehon sekä ympäristöystävällisyyden osalta. Potentiaalisia esihapetusmenetelmiä (kaliumpermanganaatti, vetyperoksidi, valokemiallinen, H2O2/UV, valokatalyyttinen, TiO2/UV, H2O2/ultraääni sekä esihapetus peretikkahapolla) tarkasteltiin eri pitoisuuksilla ja tehoilla laboratoriomittakaavassa jar-testin avulla. Saostustehoa testattiin alumiinikloridilla ja ferrisulfaatilla. Raakaveden laadun muutoksia eri vaiheissa seurattiin laboratorioanalyysein. Hapetusmenetelmien desinfiointiteho, vaikutukset syanobakteereihin ja -toksiineihin sekä reaktioissa syntyvät sivutuotteet kartoitettiin teorian perusteella. Työn tuloksien perusteella kaliumpermanganatti, vetyperoksidi erityisesti kehittyneenä hapetustekniikkana sekä valokatalyyttinen menetelmä tehostivat vedenkäsittelyä, mutta koska TiO2/UV- tai ultraäänihapetukselle ei ole vielä olemassa kaupallista sovellusta laitosmittakaavassa niin suositeltavat menetelmät ovat KMnO4- ja H2O2(/UV)-hapetukset jatkotutkimussuositukset huomioiden. Peretikkahappo ei tämän tutkimuksen perusteella vaikuttanut suositeltavalta hapetusmenetelmältä, mutta sen sijaan teorian perusteella potentiaaliselta desinfektioaineelta myös talousvedenpuhdistukseen. Opinnäytetyötä eri hapetusmenetelmien osalta talousvedelle ei ole aiemmin tehty eikä peretikkahappohapetuksesta ole laajalti aiempaa tutkimustietoa. Kokeellisen osuuden tulokset antavat uutta tietoa menetelmien soveltuvuudesta vastaaville laitoksille.

Validation of transit-time flowmetry for chronic measurements of regional blood flow in resting and exercising rats

The objective of the present study was to validate the transit-time technique for long-term measurements of iliac and renal blood flow in rats. Flow measured with ultrasonic probes was confirmed ex vivo using excised arteries perfused at varying flow rates. An implanted 1-mm probe reproduced with accuracy different patterns of flow relative to pressure in freely moving rats and accurately quantitated the resting iliac flow value (on average 10.43 ± 0.99 ml/min or 2.78 ± 0.3 ml min-1 100 g body weight-1). The measurements were stable over an experimental period of one week but were affected by probe size (resting flows were underestimated by 57% with a 2-mm probe when compared with a 1-mm probe) and by anesthesia (in the same rats, iliac flow was reduced by 50-60% when compared to the conscious state). Instantaneous changes of iliac and renal flow during exercise and recovery were accurately measured by the transit-time technique. Iliac flow increased instantaneously at the beginning of mild exercise (from 12.03 ± 1.06 to 25.55 ± 3.89 ml/min at 15 s) and showed a smaller increase when exercise intensity increased further, reaching a plateau of 38.43 ± 1.92 ml/min at the 4th min of moderate exercise intensity. In contrast, exercise-induced reduction of renal flow was smaller and slower, with 18% and 25% decreases at mild and moderate exercise intensities. Our data indicate that transit-time flowmetry is a reliable method for long-term and continuous measurements of regional blood flow at rest and can be used to quantitate the dynamic flow changes that characterize exercise and recovery

Arterial blood pressure of term newborns during the first week of life

The progressive behavior of the blood pressure of term newborns during the first week of life was assessed by the simultaneous use of oscillometric and Doppler methods. A total of 174 term neonates born at the Municipal Hospital Odilon Behrens in Belo Horizonte, from March 1996 to February 1997, were prospectively assessed. The oscillometric and Doppler ultrasonic methods were simultaneously used for four consecutive recordings obtained at 12 ± 6, 24 ± 6 and 72 ± 24 h and on the 7th ± 1 day of life. The combined use of the two methods simplified the procedure, with automatic cuff inflation and deflation, and speed was properly controlled with an automatic pressure monitor. The procedure was performed using a Y-connection to the mercury sphygmomanometer, with blood pressure being recorded with an automatic device and systolic blood pressure being measured simultaneously by Doppler ultrasound. The newborns were awake, not crying and in the supine position. A statistically significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was observed between the first and second, and the third and fourth measurements by Doppler and oscillometric methods. No significant correlation between birth weight, length, ponderal index and blood pressure was observed. The technique used represents a simpler and more accurate procedure for blood pressure measurement.

Effect of topical dorzolamide on rabbit central corneal thickness

Our objective was to study the effect of dorzolamide on corneal hydration in an 18-week controlled experiment using ultrasonic pachymetry. Twenty-eight male rabbits were divided randomly into four groups. The 7 rabbits in each group received eye drops containing either 2% (w/v) dorzolamide or placebo in their right eye, or in their left eye. The 2% dorzolamide rabbits were treated every 8 h. Fellow eyes are defined as eyes which did not receive either dorzolamide or placebo. The study was blind for both the person who applied the drug and the one who performed the pachymetry. The effect of treatments is reported on the basis of the percentage of pachymetric variation compared to the measurement made before drug application. There was no significant difference (P = 0.061) in pachymetric variation between dorzolamide (-4.42 ± 11.71%) and placebo (2.48 ± 9.63%). However, there was a significant difference (P = 0.0034) in pachymetric variation between the dorzolamide fellow eyes (-7.56 ± 10.50%) and the placebo (-4.42 ± 11.71%). In conclusion, dorzolamide did not increase the corneal thickness in rabbits.

Testit suoritettiin LUT Prosessien laboratoriossa, ja testeissä massojen sekoitukseen käytettiin roottoristaattoria ja ultraäänisekoitinta. Lisäksi tutkittiin prosessin skaalausta varten skaalatulla laitteistolla sekoitettuja massanäytteitä. Sekoitusprosessin riittävyyttä varten tutkittiin kokeellisesti käytettyjen sekoituslaitteiden tehonkulutusta. Lisäksi roottoristaattorille tehtiin laskentaohjelmalla virtaussimulaatio paikallisen tehonkulutuksen selvittämiseksi Testeissä todettiin tutkittujen parametrien vaikutus, mutta tulosten perusteella varsinaista optimointia ei kyetty tekemään. Tulokset kuitenkin antavat suunnan, johon prosessia voi optimointia varten kehittää. Myös sekoitukseen todettiin siirtyvän suuri määrä tehoa tutkituilla laitteilla, mitä voidaan pitää mahdollisesti riittävänä käytettyjen komponenttien sekoitukseen.

Comparison of the effects of lactated Ringer solution with and without hydroxyethyl starch fluid resuscitation on gut edema during severe splanchnic ischemia

The type of fluid used during resuscitation may have an important impact on tissue edema. We evaluated the impact of two different regimens of fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and on lung and intestinal edema during splanchnic hypoperfusion in rabbits. The study included 16 female New Zealand rabbits (2.9 to 3.3 kg body weight, aged 8 to 12 months) with splanchnic ischemia induced by ligation of the superior mesenteric artery. The animals were randomized into two experimental groups: group I (N = 9) received 12 mL·kg-1·h-1 lactated Ringer solution and 20 mL/kg 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution; group II (N = 7) received 36 mL·kg-1·h-1 lactated Ringer solution and 20 mL/kg 0.9% saline. A segment from the ileum was isolated to be perfused. A tonometric catheter was placed in a second gut segment. Superior mesenteric artery (Q SMA) and aortic (Qaorta) flows were measured using ultrasonic flow probes. After 4 h of fluid resuscitation, tissue specimens were immediately removed for estimations of gut and lung edema. There were no differences in global and regional perfusion variables, lung wet-to-dry weight ratios and oxygenation indices between groups. Gut wet-to-dry weight ratio was significantly lower in the crystalloid/colloid-treated group (4.9 ± 1.5) than in the crystalloid-treated group (7.3 ± 2.4) (P < 0.05). In this model of intestinal ischemia, fluid resuscitation with crystalloids caused more gut edema than a combination of crystalloids and colloids.

Involvement of midbrain tectum neurokinin-mediated mechanisms in fear and anxiety

Electrical stimulation of midbrain tectum structures, particularly the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) and inferior colliculus (IC), produces defensive responses, such as freezing and escape behavior. Freezing also ensues after termination of dPAG stimulation (post-stimulation freezing). These defensive reaction responses are critically mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid and 5-hydroxytryptamine mechanisms in the midbrain tectum. Neurokinins (NKs) also play a role in the mediation of dPAG stimulation-evoked fear, but how NK receptors are involved in the global processing and expression of fear at the level of the midbrain tectum is yet unclear. The present study investigated the role of NK-1 receptors in unconditioned defensive behavior induced by electrical stimulation of the dPAG and IC of male Wistar rats. Spantide (100 pmol/0.2 μL), a selective NK-1 antagonist, injected into these midbrain structures had anti-aversive effects on defensive responses and distress ultrasonic vocalizations induced by stimulation of the dPAG but not of the IC. Moreover, intra-dPAG injections of spantide did not influence post-stimulation freezing or alter exploratory behavior in rats subjected to the elevated plus maze. These results suggest that NK-1 receptors are mainly involved in the mediation of defensive behavior organized in the dPAG. Dorsal periaqueductal gray-evoked post-stimulation freezing was not affected by intra-dPAG injections of spantide, suggesting that NK-1-mediated mechanisms are only involved in the output mechanisms of defensive behavior and not involved in the processing of ascending aversive information from the dPAG.

Development of a rapid method for the determination of antibiotic residues in honey using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS

Abstract An accurate, reliable and fast multianalyte/multiclass ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of 23 pharmaceuticals, belonging to different classes amphenicols, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, in honey samples. The method developed consists of ultrasonic extraction followed by UPLC–ESI–MS/MS with electrospray ionization in both positive mode and negative mode. The influence of the extraction solvents and mobile phase composition on the sensitivity of the method, and the optimum conditions for sample weight and extraction temperature in terms of analyte recovery were extensively studied. The identification of antibiotics is fulfilled by simultaneous use of chromatographic separation using an Acquity BEH C18 (100 mm x 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) analytical column with a gradient elution of mobile phases and tandem mass spectrometry with an electrospray ionization. Finally, the method developed was applied to the determination of target analytes in honey samples obtained from the local markets and several beekeepers in Muğla, Turkey. Ultrasonic-extraction of pharmaceuticals from honey samples is a well-established technique by UPLC–ESI–MS/MS, the uniqueness of this study lies in the simultaneous determination of a remarkable number of compounds belonging to 23 drug at the sub-nanogram per kilogram level.

Voimalaitosten kattilaputkien sisäpuolisten kerrostumien paksuuden mittaaminen ultraäänimenetelmällä

Höyryvoimalaitoksen käyttöönotossa muodostuu kattilaputkien sisäpinnoille niitä korroosiolta suojaava ohut metallioksidikerros. Tämän kerroksen päälle kasvaa kattilan käytön aikana haitallista kerrostumaa paikallisen korroosion tai kattilavedessä olevien epäpuhtauksien kerääntymisen tai kiteytymisen seurauksena. Kerrostuma haittaa lämmönsiirtoa tulipesästä putkiseinämän läpi kattilaveteen. Putkien lämpötilan nousu suunniteltua korkeammaksi kasvattaa putkivaurioiden ja sisäpuolisen korroosion riskiä. Tästä johtuen paksuksi kasvaneet kerrostumat pyritään poistamaan happokäsittelyllä eli peittauksella ennen vaurioiden syntyä. Perinteisesti kerrostumapaksuus on määritetty kattilasta irrotetuista näyteputkista mikroskoopilla. Työn tavoitteena oli tutkia uudenlaisen ultraäänimittauksen teoriaa ja selvittää sen toimivuus höyrystinputkien kerrostumapaksuusmittauksissa. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli tutkia voimalaitoksen höyrystimen sisäpuolisten kerrostumien muodostumista ja niiden vaikutuksia sekä kattilan peittaustarpeen arviointia. Höyrystimen kerrostumien kasvunopeuteen vaikuttavat eniten voimalaitostyyppi, käytetty vesikemia ja kattilaveteen kulkeutuvien epäpuhtauksien määrä. Kasvunopeus vaihtelee laitosten välillä suuresti ja eroaa myös tulipesän eri kohdissa. Kattilaveden epäpuhtauspitoisuus ja kerrostumapaksuus vaikuttavat molemmat korroosiovaurioiden todennäköisyyteen. Peittauspaksuuden ohjearvoissa tulisi huomioida kattilan käyttöpaine, kattilatyyppi ja riski kattilaveden laadun heikkenemiselle. Putkinäytteistä ja laitoksilla suoritettujen mittauksien perusteella uusi ultraäänitekniikka tuottaa luotettavia tuloksia tavanomaisten kerrostumien mittauksessa. Vain yhdellä laitoksella esiintyi irtonaisen sakan kaltaista kerrostumaa, jota mittaus ei kyennyt havaitsemaan. Mittaustulokset kerrostumista tulipesän eri osissa antavat hyvän perustan peittaustarpeen arviointiin.
