Sapphire/metal soldering joints are widely needed in various optical instruments. Traditional soldering methods are expensive and time consuming, because they usually involve a sapphire surface metallization procedure and a vacuum soldering procedure. In this study, we sealed infrared sapphire windows using a novel ultrasonic soldering method in the ambient atmosphere, with Sn-Zn-Al alloy as the solder. The wetting and bonding at the sapphire/solder and solder/metal-tube interfaces were realized by ultrasound. The microstructure of the joints was revealed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM). The gas impermeability of the samples was investigated. This new method is very simple and cost-saving. The reliability of the samples made by this new method is equal to that made by traditional method. This is the first application of the ultrasonic interfacial deposition brazing and soldering (UIDBS) method to a practical device. We hope this method to be applied to other optical devices.

Traditional method of buoy gauge design is rather complicated, so an advanced method by building and solving fluid mechanics equations is proposed in this paper. The curve of the taper pipe inner surface is calculated, according to different buoy gravity and diameter. In order to examine the effect of this improved method, an experiment is carried out. Results show that linear property of the buoy gauge improved by new method is excellent.

Traditional method for measuring liquid level of absorption tower in wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system is introduced in this paper, and it's found that measuring accuracy of the method exists in large deviation. A new method is proposed to measure liquid level of absorption tower for this situation. The local test results show that not only measurement result of new method is more close to the actual liquid level than traditional method, but also using new method can save operation cost and ensure the safety, stability, and economic operation of WFGD system.

Flipping a classroom is not only recording classroom lesson into a video and bringing homework into the classroom. It is a whole new method with a lot better result compared to the traditional method. In western countries such as the US, flipping a classroom is already becoming a new method adopted by many different schools and universities. This paper tries to explore the possibility of flipping a classroom for learning foreign language at BINUS University by comparing it with the recent practices and findings in the western countries. After the analysis it can be concluded that this method can be applied at BINUS University but on several conditions such as the improvement of infrastructures, and the teacher’s awareness and understanding to optimize their understanding about flipped learning.

Chlorophylls and turbidity are related parameters deemed important in predicting water quality, especially in the freshwater fisheries sector. In other hand, chlorophyll contents in vegetation are often used as a measure for estimating plant health. To ensure the chlorophyll content, appropriate analysis techniques are needed, which include, yet not limited to, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetone extraction analysis, and measuring turbidity using expensive equipment. Measurements using these methods are still not reliable, especially for smallholders. In addition, calibration of a digital camera for these purposes requires several efforts of preparing a series of chemical analyses and the qualities of newly developed cameras have increased. Thus, calibration needs to be taken into account for improving the accuracy in estimating chlorophyll contents. This study posits fundamental findings germane to the potential use of chlorophyllin for calibrating the optimal instrument, like consumer-grade cameras. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is commonly used as food additive and ingredients, and medical treatments. However, we can gain another benefit of chlorophyllin, particularly for developing low-cost optical instruments for estimating chlorophyll content through hydro-color-based with promising accuracy.

We present a cost- and time-efficient method for the controlled preparation of single phase La(IO3)3 nanoparticles via a simple soft-chemical route, which takes a matter of hours, thereby providing an alternative to the common hydrothermal method, which takes days. Nanoparticles of pure α-La(IO3)3 and pure δ-La(IO3)3 were synthesised via the new method depending on the source of iodate ions, thereby demonstrating the versatility of the synthesis route. The crystal structure, nanoparticle size-dispersal, and chemical composition were characterised via angle- and energy-dispersive powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

Friction stir welding (FSW) with a Zr interlayer was employed to join dissimilar alloys of 6061 Al and AZ31 Mg. The microstructures of Al/Mg and Al/Zr/Mg joints were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The results showed that the central part of the Zr interlayer was smashed and intermixed with the base materials in the stir zone, whereas the undamaged part remained stable at the Al/Mg interface. The formation of Al–Mg intermetallic compounds (IMCs) was suppressed by the Zr interlayer due to its synergetic effects of chemical modification and thermal barrier. The electrochemical measurements revealed a differentiated corrosion behavior for each joint, where the corrosion rate of representative regions increased in the order of Al alloy < Mg alloy < heat-affected zone < stir zone. The immersion tests indicated an enhancement in corrosion resistance for the Al/Zr/Mg joint compared with the Al/Mg joint, which is owing to the mitigated galvanic corrosion between the base materials by the Zr interlayer.

Weng`an fauna in Guizhou, China provides a unique window for the evolution of the early life especially since the animal embryos and sponge is found there. Phosphatization makes the fossils preserve in details including cells and subcellular structure. Here we use atomic force microscope observing the surface of some three dimensional preserved embryo fossils and the ultra membrane-like structure is found under atomic force microscope (AFM) while such structure can`t be found under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The membrane-like structure is approximately 10nm in thickness which maybe one part of the fossil embryos or belong to another nano scale microfossils. Therefore, AFM provides a new method for the study of the ultra structure of the microfossils from Weng`an fauna.

There is not any calibration specification or verification regulation for the milliampere-second meter, a very important instrument for preventive maintenance and calibrating the X-ray machine [1][2], is used to measure the value of the product of tube current and exposure time. To solve the problem that the traditional method can not offer the same standard value in different times, this paper presents a method for calibrating the milliampere-second meter by using a signal generator and a digital meter. It shows that the new method has good repeatability and stability.
