IRJET- Sintering of Tungsten for Porous ComponentsIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on sintering tungsten powder for porous components at lower temperatures. Tungsten is traditionally sintered above 2000°C, but the study investigated adding milled tungsten powder as an activator to increase sinterability at lower temperatures. Milled powder with reduced particle size was added in compositions from 0-50% and sintered between 1470-1550°C. Density increased with temperature and soaking time, reaching up to 61% theoretical density with 50% milled powder. Hardness and strength decreased with longer soaking times due to grain growth, despite higher densities. The milled powder promoted faster densification through higher reactivity and strain energy from the milling
This study evaluated changes in color of traditional 100% cotton denim and novel cotton/polypropylene denim after 11 different industrial washing processes using various auxiliaries and pumice stone. Color was measured using a spectrophotometer before and after each wash. Significant changes in color parameters L*, a*, b* and total color difference ΔE were observed for both denim types after processes involving bleaching or enzyme + stone washing. The cotton/polypropylene denim showed similar but generally less intense color changes compared to the traditional cotton denim. Processes including bleaching, silicone softener or enzyme + stone washing caused the largest shifts in color.

The document studies the thermal decomposition of pre-cured polyvinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (PVC-VA) plastisols and foams with varying concentrations of plasticizers. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the plasticizer concentration influences decomposition behavior. Plastisols containing more of the lower molecular weight plasticizer diethyl phthalate (DEP) decompose at lower temperatures. TGA also indicates that plasticizer is lost during curing, more so without a blowing agent. The first peak in derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curves corresponds to DEP evolution, while the second involves the higher molecular weight plasticizer and resin decomposition.
Mechanical properties of rice husk carbon black hybrid natural rubber compositeAlexander Decker
This document investigates the mechanical properties of natural rubber composites reinforced with hybrid fillers of rice husk and carbon black. Six composite samples were prepared with varying ratios of rice husk to carbon black at a constant filler loading of 50 parts per hundred rubber. Testing showed that with increasing carbon black content, the composites exhibited increased tensile strength, modulus, hardness and abrasion resistance, but decreased elongation at break. Flex fatigue resistance improved with higher carbon black content due to reduced stiffening of the polymer chains. Therefore, the rice husk/carbon black hybrid filler can provide reinforcement for natural rubber where specific end-use mechanical properties are required.

This document summarizes a lab experiment examining the relationship between polystyrene molecular weight and thickness of spin-coated polymer films. Thin films of an unknown molecular weight polystyrene from a disposable coffee cup and a control polystyrene with a known molecular weight were created via spin coating. Film thicknesses were measured via ellipsometry to determine a linear relationship between thickness and solution concentration. This allowed extrapolation to determine the theoretical concentration needed to produce a 300 nm film for each polymer. Comparing these concentrations to established data, the molecular weights of the control and unknown polymers were estimated, though the control value fell outside acceptable error bounds.
Cure Characteristics and Physico-Mechanical Properties of Carbonized Bamboo F...IJMER
ABSTRACT: Bamboo fibres were carbonized at 600
0
C and used as particulate filler in natural rubber vulcanizates.
Carbon black was used as the reference filler, while maleic anhydride-grafted-polyisoprene was used as a compatibilizer.
The natural rubber vulcanizates were compounded on a two-roll mill, and test samples were prepared by compression
moulding. The cure characteristics and physico-mechanical properties of the natural rubber vulcanizates were studied at
filler loadings of 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, and 15 phr (parts per hundred parts rubber). The carbonized bamboo fibre was characterized
for filler properties and sieved to 0.08µm and 0.35µm particle sizes. Results obtained showed that compatibilized carbonized
bamboo fibre filled vulcanizates exhibited improvement in the cure properties investigated over the non-compatibilized
vulcanizates. Carbon black exhibited higher tensile strength, modulus, hardness and elongation at break in the vulcanizates
than carbonized bamboo fibre. However, at any given loading of carbonized bamboo fibre, these properties increased with a
reduction in particle size of the filler. Specific gravity of the vulcanizates increased with increases in filler loading, and was
found to be dependent on filler particle size. The smaller particle-sized carbonized bamboo fibre filled vulcanizates exhibited
higher specific gravity than those vulcanizates containing the larger particle-sized filler.
Keywords: bamboo fibre, carbonization, cure characteristics, natural rubber, physico-mechanical properties.

Yellowing of cotton fabric due to softners -by Labeesh KumarLabeesh Kumar
Cationic softeners cause more yellowing of cotton fabric than silicone or non-ionic softeners. Testing showed that as the concentration of cationic softeners increased from 5% to 20%, the yellowness index and b-value increased, indicating higher levels of yellowing. The bending length and absorbency time decreased with higher cationic softener concentration, showing increased softness and hydrophobicity. More analysis is needed to determine trends conclusively. The document studied the effects of different types and concentrations of softeners on the yellowing and properties of cotton fabric.

Studies on Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical Properties and Accelerated UV Weat...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Poly Propylene (PP) was blended with High impact poly styrene (HIPS) (10-25%) using a twin
screw extruder. Then the test specimens were prepared using an injection molding machine and testings were
done as per ASTM standards. The mechanical properties like Tensile modulus, Flexural strength and Flexural
modulus were increased. The impact strength, Tensile strength and elongation were decreased. In the thermal
properties HDT was improved because HIPS has higher properties than that of PP. The Arc resistance was
little lowered. The shrinkage was decreased. Accelerated UV Weathering was also carried out using an
accelerated weather-o-meter. The PP-HIPS blends were found to be photo-degradable after 125 hours of UV
light exposure in accelerated Weather-o-meter and in about 2.5 months in the out-door exposure.
Key words: PP- HIPS Blends, Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical properties, SEM, and Accelerated UV

This document compares the bleaching effects of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide on 100% cotton fabric. Tests were conducted to measure whiteness, tensile strength, absorbency, and fluidity. The results showed that peracetic acid bleaching at 65°C for 45 minutes achieved a higher whiteness index of 83.6 compared to 81.1 for hydrogen peroxide bleaching at 95°C for 60 minutes. Additionally, peracetic acid bleaching resulted in higher tensile strength and lower fluidity, indicating less damage to the cotton fabric. Therefore, peracetic acid is concluded to be a more effective and less damaging bleaching agent than hydrogen peroxide for cotton fabric.

Hot Topics and Hotboxing: Latest research on cannabis aerosolsMarkus Roggen
Cannabis testing focuses on harm reduction, by testing for unwanted pesticides, heavy metals and biological contamination. On one side, cannabinoid levels are precisely measured in the product.
Although these final product tests miss one important aspect of cannabis consumption. The actual process of consumption. For inhalable products, like joints and vape cartridges, the dosing of cannabinoids and chemical changes during burning/vaporization are mostly unknow.
We have developed a testing platform to quantify cannabinoid and terpene levels on a puff per puff basis. This setup also allows us to screen the aerosol and gas phase for potential toxicants present. We also looked at cannabinoid concentrations puff by puff, how those compare between joints and vapes, and how those levels change over the lifecycle of a product.
In this talk we will present our findings from our latest vape and joint experiment and answer the longstanding question: Which part of a joint is the best to smoke? And, will cannabis kill you?

Spinel-Yb grain growth and prob analysisGeorge Ferko
The document summarizes an experiment that investigated the effect of ytterbium doping on the grain growth of magnesium aluminate spinel. It was found that doping with 500 ppm of ytterbium caused an increase in grain growth and a decrease in abnormal grain growth compared to undoped samples. Electron backscatter diffraction and microscopy were used to analyze the grain size distributions of doped and undoped samples sintered for 1, 2, and 4 hours. Probability analysis showed that the grain size data fit a gamma distribution better than a log-normal distribution. Ytterbium doping resulted in consistently larger grain sizes compared to undoped samples.

Throughout history, cannabis has been used as a panacea, an herbal remedy for nearly all medical concerns from simple headaches to severe pain. Now that many states have legalized medical cannabis, it is important to have analytical methodologies to study the compounds that the patients will be ingesting or inhaling. Terpenes are a major class of compounds found in cannabis. They are volatile hydrocarbons responsible for the plant’s aroma. These compounds are found in other plants as well. Through various clinical trials they were found to be medically relevant. In terms of cannabis, these compounds reportedly assist the cannabinoids in their effects. The cannabinoids bind to the cannabinoid receptor in the brain, and thus have medical relevance. Cannabichromene, cannabidiol, cannabigerol, and cannabinol are the main four cannabinoids that are implicated in relieving symptoms of pain, nausea, and directly reducing seizures. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is responsible for the euphoria experienced when smoked or ingested.
With the increase in usage of cannabis due to its medical legalization in many states, it is important to have analytical methods for testing potency and variance of the cannabinoids and terpenes within the plant material. To do this, terpenes and cannabinoids were analyzed using a GC-FID. As the terpenes have higher volatility, several injection techniques were tested, including liquid injection, SPME, and headspace. The cannabinoid method was then applied to test the variance in subsequent doses of the same size, mimicking that of doses distributed to patients.
The document summarizes research on extracting rotenone from Derris elliptica roots. It discusses the plant's background and uses of rotenone. The study aims to optimize extraction parameters like solvent, particle size and ratio to maximize rotenone yield and content. Experiments use a central composite design and response surface methodology to identify significant factors. Rotenone concentration is determined using HPLC while biological activity is assessed via brine shrimp lethality assays. Statistical analysis of the results helps evaluate the effects of different extraction parameters.
This presentation describes a Shimadzu study, where a novel biomass-based rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) was compared against a control sample of commercially available petroleum-based RPUF, using the complementary techniques of thermogravimetric analysis and pyrolysis GC/MS.
Costs of polyurethane foams (PUF) are rising, as they are primarily derived from petroleum-based products whose price is tied directly to the cost of crude oil. PUFs are used widely throughout the automotive, insulation and housing industries, prompting recent advances in their production, using less expensive and renewable biomass.
Experimental investigation and optimization study of combustion chamber geome...IJERD Editor
An experimental investigation and optimization study of various piston geometries was conducted
on Greaves single cylinder direct injection compression ignition engine using straight diesel and blends of rice
bran biodiesel. The three combustion chamber geometries used in this study were Standard toroidal piston
(STP), hemispherical bowl piston (HBP) and Shallow toroidal re-entrant piston (STRP) at compression ratios of
18:1, 19.04:1 and 16.4:1 respectively. Rice bran biodiesel was derived by two step trans-esterification process
with an optimum yield of 86% with molar ratio 1:6, 06% of catalyst (KOH), 90 min reaction time and 65oC
reaction temperature. The performance parameters like brake specific energy consumption, brake thermal
efficiency and the emission parameters like carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen
were analysed in detail. It was noticed that the BSEC of STRP was 12.1% with diesel and 14.02% with B100
biodiesel blend. The brake thermal efficiency was also found to be improved with biodiesel blend with STRP on
comparison with STP and HBP. The carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission was found to decrease with
STRP geometry were as HBP exhibited negative improvement. NOx emission was also found to increase with
STRP.

Michelle Morrison presented on a study comparing a novel tubular anaerobic digestion technology called OBR to a conventional STR design. The study co-digested dairy slurry and glycerol. The OBR was able to successfully digest this mixture and achieved a 28% higher methane yield than the STR under optimal conditions. Continuous agitation improved yields in both systems up to a point, while decreasing retention time had a negative effect. The OBR was more stable but required more energy for temperature control and pumping than the STR. Overall, the OBR performed well and has potential for small-scale anaerobic digestion applications.
This document summarizes a study on optimizing the extraction of sandalwood oil using subcritical carbon dioxide compared to conventional techniques like steam distillation. Subcritical carbon dioxide extraction at 200 bars and 28°C yielded 4.11% oil in the first hour, higher than other methods and with higher quality as indicated by acid value and santalol content. Analysis found the oil extracted in each hour contained varying amounts of key constituents like α-santalene and β-santalol. The study demonstrates that subcritical carbon dioxide extraction is more efficient and yields higher quality sandalwood oil than conventional techniques like steam distillation.

Adsorption of Methylene blue and Malachite Green in Aqueous Solution using Ja...IJEAB
The adsorption of mixture of two basic dyes methylene blue and malachite green in aqueous solution onto jack fruit leaf ash in a batch system with respect to initial dye concentrations, pH, contact time, shaker speed and adsorbent doses was investigated.. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second- order kinetics model were used to describe the kinetic data. The rate constants at different pH values (3-9.1) were evaluated. The experimental data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. Maximum adsorption capacity was 20.41mg/g was achieved by Langmuir isotherm model. Error analysis was done to find the best model that described the experimental data well and it was the Langmuir model. The result indicated that jack fruit leaf ash could be fruitfully employed as low cost adsorbent for the removal of mixture of two basic dyes MB and MG from the wastewater.

This study investigated the kinetics of extracting lycopene and β-carotene from tomato skin using near critical liquid carbon dioxide, with and without oleic acid as a co-solvent. Extractions were performed in a high-pressure autoclave at 299K and 64 bar over various time periods. The presence of oleic acid improved extraction of lycopene but decreased extraction of β-carotene. It also reduced the amount of the cis isomer form of lycopene extracted. Analysis by HPLC showed that maximum lycopene extraction with oleic acid occurred after 20 hours, compared to extraction without the co-solvent. The solubility of oleic, stearic and pal

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Size Matters: Optimizing Cannabis Milling
Blake Grauerholz, Solomon Ontiveros, Dr. Markus Roggen
ABSTRACT
Does Milling improve extraction or destroy the cannabis? We postulated that the surface area to
volume ratio of cannabis would affect CO2 extraction efficiency and speed. Therefore, we
wanted to investigate the changes to terpene and cannabinoid composition in both the raw plant
material and extract as a function of particle size and shape. For this study cannabis flower was
ground to varying particle sizes using a milling system, along with other, less sophisticated,
milling methods to study the effects on our extraction method. This milling study is a further
piece of the puzzle of our extraction optimization project. By testing the extract oil and spent
material, an ideal balance of efficiency and terpene preservation, while preventing degradation to
the starting material, can be achieved.

RESULTS
Non-ground offers no precision and greatly reduces efficiencies in SFE.
Smaller particles give higher cannabinoid and terpene yields.
Milling has little affect on terpenes and molecular makeup of cannabis.
METHODOLOGY
To study the effect milling has on freshly dried cannabis, a homogeneous mixture of whole
plant material was ground from 1mm<10mm using a Fritsch P19 milling system. A mixed
particle size produced with a food processor, and an analysis of un-ground material was also
studied. Additionaly, the RPM of the milling system was also varied in order to investigate the
potential of thermal degradation caused by the increased rotor speed. Lab testing was
performed on pre & post milled material. A selected range of particle sizes was used for CO2
extraction at normal production parameters to study the effect milling has on cannabis oil
yield and composition in SFE.
Once a ideal particle size is selected for extraction, the packing density of the cannabis
within the extractor vessel can be studied to further improve recovery of THC.
Every run of particle sizing and extract fractions were analyzed for total cannabinoid and
terpene content.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
- Insignificant effect on decarboxylation at higher RPM or smaller particle sizing
- Recovery of both terpenes and cannabinoids is increased with decreased particle size (Fig. 1-2)
- Finer, more uniform, particle sizing provides better precision in extraction
- The cannabinoid fraction is of higher quality with smaller particle size (Fig. 6)
- The terpene fraction appears to improve in quality with larger or irregular (Blender) particle size.
- Further optimization on CO2 extraction effeciencies can be achieved by milling.
- Packing density has an effect on total recovery, gravity fed being best for our machine (Fig. 3)
