AbstractThe surface activity of carbon black (CB) is an important factor affecting the reinforcement of rubber. The quantitative determination of the surface activity (surface free energy) of CB is of great significance. A simplified formula is obtained to determine the free energy of CB surface through theoretical analysis and mathematical derivation. The surface free energy for four kinds of industrial CBs were measured by inverse gas chromatography, and the influential factors were studied. The results showed that the aging time of the chromatographic column plays an important role in accurate measurement of the surface free energy of CB, in comparison with the influences from the inlet pressure and carrier gas flow rate of the chromatographic column filled with CB. Several kinds of industrial CB were treated at high temperature, and the surface free energy of CB had a significant increase. With the increase of surface free energy, the maximum torque was decreased significantly, the elongation at break tended to increase, the heat generation of vulcanizates was increased, and the wear resistance was decreased.

AbstractTeh present study aims to identify proper places to build temporary accommodation for people and accessible roads using damage analysis results during a probable earthquake. Teh HAZUS damage estimation method, which is one of teh most common ones currently used in teh world, was used in dis study. Teh influential factors in locating teh temporary accommodation in Shiraz were studied by using damage results, AHP model, and Expert Choice software. Then, map for temporary accommodation was prepared. By integrating layers, teh ultimate map of optimal locating for temporary accommodation was presented. Subsequently, all teh parameters influencing teh safety of emergency evacuation and relief network were identified and teh impact rate of each one was determined based on experts’ opinions through AHP. Based on teh importance of each index, roads were weighed and coded. Then, teh optimal safe road for relief and emergency evacuation was proposed. Teh results suggested dat relief roads are different based on different indices and teh optimal road was obtained through overlapping teh data layers according to teh importance of each parameter. dis optimal road could provide maximum services in teh minimum time duration and subsequently create capacity building in urban crisis management.

Nitrogen is a limiting factor for the development of wine alcoholic fermentation. The addition of nutrients and different nitrogen sources is a usual practice for many winemakers. Currently, there is a market trend toward wine that is additive-free and there are also restrictions on the amount of ammonium fermentation agents that can be added to the wine. In this work, the changes produced on the alcoholic fermentation by the addition of different nitrogen sources were evaluated by the use of ATR-FTIR. The results showed the feasibility of this technique to observe differences in the growth yeast capacity depending on the type of the nutrients added. A high influence on the development of the alcoholic fermentation was observed, especially at its exponential and the stationary phases. Moreover, the changes observed in the recorded spectra were related to the proteins and lipid esters composition of the yeast cell wall. This technique should be a useful tool to evaluate nitrogen deficiencies during winemaking although further studies should be done in order to evaluate more influential factors.

Objective : One of the prevention efforts of medical errors that occur in health services is by identifying the potential failure of the service before the failure occurs. FMEA is one way to identify the risks of failure. Therefore, the authors wanted to find out whether FMEA was effective for reducing Medical error based on previous studies.Method: This article was a literature review using references in an online database such as EBSCOhost. The author found 280 articles while searching by using the keyword "FMEA". After filtered by publication period from 2012 to 2017, fulltext and language, finally got 7 articles. Finally, the author used the three most relevant literature.Result: FMEA is proven to decrease potential failure rate after follow-up to failure was done in service process, so medical error can be prevented. In the application of FMEA, bias can occur during the determination of potential failure and determination of scoring on RPN. Therefore, it is expected that the team involved in making FMEA experts in the process of service to be designed.Conclusion: FMEA could prevent medical errors by determining potential failure and following up on potential failure before failure occurs.Keywords: FMEA, healthcare, medical error.

Concrete strength represents by far the most critical property of concrete. It represents the mechanical properties of concrete. On-site evaluation of concrete strength remains the fundamental challenge in the condition assessment of existing infrastructure. Although standard laboratory methods can be typically used but most of these testing methods are costly and time-consuming. Among the in-situ methods, the “twist-off ” method with very slight damage is genuinely a convenient, fast and also low-cost technique that provides accurate results for engineers. In this study, the twist-offmethod has been used for the assessment of in-situ strength of the 30 concrete structures in Qazvin in Iran. The results showed structures studied had a strength of 45 to 600 kg/cm2 and the average is about 200 kg/cm2. The observed variation is very high, as well as a significant difference between the compressive strength of the columns, and the floors of the buildings that all indicate non-standard concrete mixing and inadequate control over construction. However, according to the past experience and results of the samples, some recommendations in this regard have been suggested.

AbstractThe work presented in this study focus on the application of the method of the plans of experiences (MPE) to the study and the optimization of the quantification of the wear of the steels (XC48, A60) under the effect of a factor of environment in the occurrence Hydrogen. Modeling can draw inspiration from the mathematical models established by the (MPE) in order to analyze more deeply the phenomenon of the wear while taking account of the various relevant factors [1].The MPE, introduced is a consistent set of tools and methods algèbro-statistics to establish and analyze the relationships in the quantities studied (responses) and their sources of variations (factors) [2]. This analysis may be qualitative: study of “screening” (determination of influential factors) or quantitative: methodology of the surfaces of answers (variation of responses according to the influential factors). In all cases, it has for the purpose of determination of mathematical models approached the answers expressed in terms of the factors. These models are deducted from the values obtained of series of experiments. The definition of these plans of experiences determines the measurable quality of models. The multiple facets of the MPE are then used as the basis for the development of strategy to optimize [3].
