Abstract The polyethylene terephtalate (PET) is a polymer with a high melting (265°C) and glass transition (67°C) temperatures, insensitive to moisture and common solvents. Also it has an wide range of mechanical properties attainable by variations of molecular weight, orientation and crystallinity. Due to these characteristics allied with the glass-like transparency, light weight and unbreakable character, PET is used to form high performance bottles for carbonated soft drinks, wines, beers and food packing. The world annual consumption of PET for these purposes is increasing, with impressive prospects for the future. This characteristic leads to other situation. The consumption of energy and natural resources together with the environmental problems caused by disposable plastics, make the engineering and materials scientists try to find for different ways to recycled plastics. The characteristics of PET mentioned above seen to be very proper to use as a material for coating.

There has been growing interest in the research fields of morphing-wing and flapping-wing aircraft for improved flight efficiency and maneuverability. Recent efforts have focused on the use of smart materials as actuators in biomimetic morphing and flapping. Macro-Fiber Composites (MFCs) are composed of piezoelectric fibers sandwiched between interdigitated electrodes in addition to Kapton and epoxy laminates. The MFC technology offers effective sensing and actuation with its light weight, high flexibility, durability, high performance, and availability in various sizes. Researchers have studied the use of MFCs in structural health monitoring, vibration control, actuation, and energy harvesting. In the last few years, MFCs have been successfully integrated to morphing-wing aircraft by several others. However, there has been limited work on MFC-based flapping wing by dynamic actuation. The flapping-wing flight is more beneficial than conventional flight at relatively small scales due to its high maneuverability. Biological flapping-wing flyers incorporate different wing motions such as dynamic bending, twisting, and folding to create asymmetry for positive lift and thrust resultants. This paper experimentally characterizes the electroelastic dynamics and power consumption of two MFC-based architectures for bio-inspired flapping. The first configuration employs an asymmetric wide bimorph architecture with 0° and 45° piezoelectric fibers to have an actuation authority in bending and twisting. The second configuration uses a double bimorph arrangement made of two narrow bimorphs with 0° fibers with a chord-wise spacing to create both bending and twisting depending on the relative actuation inputs. Both of the bending-twisting architectures considered herein are tested over a wide range dynamic actuation levels and frequencies to characterize the electroelastic response. In addition to measuring the power consumption levels in dynamic bending and twisting, flexible solar films are investigated as the light-weight multifunctional substructure layers that can create both lift surface and electricity toward the concept of self-powered flapping.

The paper reflects the specificity of the fundamental ideas of the artistic world of M. G. Atamanov, which includes a wide range of literary facts from the content level of the text of the works to their poetics. A particularly important role in the works of M. G. Atamanov is played by cross-cutting themes and images that reflect the author's individual style and his idea of national-ethnic identity. The subject of the research is the book of essays “Mon - Udmurt. Maly mynym vös’?” (“I am Udmurt. Why does it hurt?”), which most vividly reflected the main spiritual and artistic searches of M. G. Atamanov, associated with his ideas about the Udmurt people. The main motives and plots of the works included in the book under consideration are accumulated around the concept of “Udmurtness”. The comprehension of “Udmurtness” is modeled in his essays through specific leit themes: native language, Udmurt people, national culture, mentality, geographic and topographic features of the Udmurt people’ places of residence, the Orthodox idea. The “Udmurt theme” is recognized and comprehended by the writer through the prism of national identity.

Background:The unstable and/or toxic degradation products may form due to degradation of drug which results into loss of therapeutic activity and lead to life threatening condition. Hence, it is important to establish the stability characteristics of drug in various conditions such as in temperature, light, oxidising agent and susceptibility across a wide range of pH values.Introduction:The aim of the proposed study was to develop simple, sensitive and economic stability indicating high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for the quantification of Amoxapine in the presence of degradation products.Methods:Amoxapine and its degraded products were separated on precoated silica gel 60F254 TLC plates by using mobile phase comprising of methanol: toluene: ammonium acetate (6:3:1, v/v/v). The densitometric evaluation was carried out at 320 nm in reflectance/absorbance mode. The degradation products obtained as per ICH guidelines under acidic, basic and oxidative conditions have different Rf values 0.12, 0.26 and 0.6 indicating good resolution from each other and pure drug with Rf: 0.47. Amoxapine was found to be stable under neutral, thermal and photo conditions.Results:The method was validated as per ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines in terms of accuracy, precision, ruggedness, robustness and linearity. A good linear relationship between concentration and response (peak area and peak height) over the range of 80 ng/spot to 720 ng/spot was observed from regression analysis data showing correlation coefficient 0.991 and 0.994 for area and height, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for area were found to be 1.176 ng/mL and 3.565 ng/mL, whereas for height, 50.063 ng/mL and 151.707 ng/mL respectively.Conclusion:The statistical analysis confirmed the accuracy, precision and selectivity of the proposed method which can be effectively used for the analysis of amoxapine in the presence of degradation products.
