Scope and Issues in Alpha Compositing TechnologyAM Publications
Alpha compositing is the process of combining an image with a background to create the appearance of
partial transparency. The combining operation takes advantage of an alpha channel, which basically determines how
much of a source pixel's color information covers a destination pixel's color information. In this documentation, the
authors discuss different types of alpha blending modes which are used to achieve this partial transparency. Alpha
compositing is a process which is used to combine two images and there are the ranges of alpha value which is
multiplied with the source pixel to generate target pixel.). Alpha values also range from 0 to 255, with 0 being
completely transparent (i.e., 0% opaque) and 255 completely opaque (i.e., 100% opaque. Alpha blending is a way of
mixing the colors of two images together to form a final image. In the preset paper the authors tried to give a
comprehensive review on different issues and scope in Alpha Compositing technology. A good example of naturally
occurring alpha blending is a rainbow over a waterfall. The rainbow as one image, and the background waterfall is
another, then the final image can be formed by alpha blending the two together
EKSPERIMENTAL STUDY OF TENSILE STRENGTH OF BAMBOO BLOCK LAMINATION: OPTIMUM V...AM Publications
The use of bamboo lamination substitute wood for structural beams. Damage of glue-line bamboo
lamination beam before collapsing to influence of flexural strength. The objective of this study to know the effect of
shear connector PVAc resin to the tensile strength bamboo block lamination. Shear connector with incising method
on bamboo blade. The bamboo used in this work belongs to the species of Bambusa Dendrocalamus asper (local
name: bambu Petung) and PVAC adhesives used. Incising distance variation were 0 x 0 mm, 2 x 2 mm, 3 x 3 mm
and 4 x 4 mm. Compression strength were 1.5 MPa, 2 MPa and 2.5 MPa. The shape an dimensions of the tensile
strength test specimens by standard ISO 2004. The mechanical properties testing conducted correlation with
statistical analysis. The water content of at pressure of 1.5 MPa is an average of 12.81%. The average of moisture in
the pressure of 2 MPa is an average of 12.52%. The water content in the pressure of 2.5 MPa is average 12.43%.
Density at a pressure of 1.5 MPa was an average density of 0.73 g/cm3. Density values with 2 MPa is an average of
0.75 g/cm3. At a pressure of 2.5 MPa average of 0.78 g/cm3. Average value of tensile strength bamboo block
laminations without incising method with lateral stress 2,5 MPa was 1,732 MPa. Average value of tensile strength
bamboo block laminations with incising method 4 x 4 mm with lateral stress 2 MPa was 1,862 MPa. Average value
of tensile strength bamboo block laminations with incising method 6 x 6 mm with lateral stress 1,5 MPa was 2,002
MPa. Average value of tensile strength bamboo block laminations with incising method 8 x 8 mm with lateral stress
1,5 MPa was 1,802 MPa.

Effect of Sodium Chloroacetate towards the Synthesis of CMC (Carboxymethyl Ce...AM Publications
CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is a derivative of cellulose and are often used in the food industry. Food additives, CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) is used as a stabilizer, thickener and emulsifier. Due to a very wide utilization, easy to use, carboxymethyl cellulose into one of the substances of interest in the food industry. Based on these considerations, it takes an effort to produce a CMC from plant cellulose sources are widely available in Indonesia and less utilized optimally as durian peel. This study aims to determine the yield of cellulose from durian peel with NaOH solution variations in the isolation process and determine the yield of CMC produced with sodium chloroacetate variations in the synthesis process. Results cellulose insulation durian peel using NaOH with a ratio of durian peel and NaOH 10% (w / v) at 1:10, 1:15 and 1:20 is 27.18%; 64.72% and 30.84% respectively. CMC yield on varying the amount of sodium chloroacetate as many as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 grams is 66.44%; 40.19%; 24.83%; 66.71%; 45.21% sequentially. The optimum conditions of the synthesis reaction CMC is variable with the amount of sodium monokloroasetat 7 grams that produces CMC with a degree of substitution of 1.632.
Design and Performance Evaluation of Collapsible Door Armrest under Crash TestAM Publications
Vehicle interiors are primary source of injuries when occupants interact with them in the event of an
accident. The extent of injuries depending on energy dissipating characteristics of interiors and severity of accidents.
Vehicle interiors energy dissipating characteristics are assessed by FMVSS214 [6] and ECE R95 [7] side impact tests.
Side impact test assesses occupant protection by door panel as vehicle interior during side intrusion test on door
armrest in side collision accident scenarios.
The present paper describes CAE based sub system level approach for door armrest development for side
intrusion requirements as specified by OEM on the basis of FMVSS214 and ECER95 regulation; which is most
critical region in door panel. In the conventional approach, door armrest design is certified for abdomen and thorax
requirements based on physical testing where door panel samples from production tools are used. At this stage if any
failure occurs, the changes in the door panel design becomes very expensive and time consuming as tooling is already
made. To avoid this scenario during product development phase CAE based door armrest design is proposed in this
paper. The proposed CAE based approach helps to assess and correct the proposed door armrest design in early phase
of product development, to avoid likely failures during the physical testing. This paper describes the details of door
panel assembly FE model content, various material models and simulation procedures for CAE based door armrest
development for side impact intrusion test requirements for particular OEM. It is observed that a well discretised FE
model and appropriate material models for plastics reasonably predicts physical test behaviour of the door panel
assembly in side Intrusion tests.
Морстройтехнология на форуме Oil Terminal 2016
Руководитель проектов ООО «Морстройтехнология» Софья Каткова приняла участие в международном форуме Oil Terminal 2016, прошедшем 24-25 ноября в Санкт-Петербурге. Специалисты компании принимают участие в работе форума уже 10 раз.
В этот раз доклад Морстройтехнологии был посвящен оценке рынка железнодорожных технологий и автоматизированных систем управления на полигонах железных дорог и отдельных грузовых узлах, а также адаптации этих проектов к текущим проблемам крупных грузоотправителей на железнодорожном транспорте.
Термин "адаптивное планирование" прошел красной нитью через всю сессию, посвященную железнодорожному транспорту и работе припортовых узлов. Эксперты обсудили внедрение аналогичных проектов на мировом рынке перевозок, новые технологии работы с РЖД в России и перспективы этого сегмента.
