Evaluating the ‘Texting, Sharing and Mentoring’ Method Applied in Community Empowerment Program Based On Trigona Laeviceps Stingless Beekeeping Adoption in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the texting, sharing, and mentoring (TSM) method as an innovative method of community empowerment applied in 'Go-Honey' program. This method is mixed offline and online with the use of Whatsapp groups connecting program participants, resource persons, and local mentors. Using the Bloom's Taxonomy approach, this study compares the knowledge level of the 'Go-Honey' program participants implementing TSM with other sitngless beekeeping program participants who use the single-face-to-face (TTM) method as a control. The total participants involved in this study were 20 people, half of whom were female members of 'Go-honey', while the other half were not. Participants were asked questions related to cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects by direct interviews. Observations were also done on the results of the work performance. The results show that the 'Go-Honey' participants have a higher level of knowledge about stingless beekeeping compared to the control model in these three aspects of knowledge. The results of the Mann Whitney test shows that the cognitive, affective and psychomotor scores are significantly different at 1 % alpha. This method has the potential to be applied after the pandemic ends with the principle of distance learning as long as there is the internet connection and the presence of local mentors.

Microstructural Stability of the CoCrFe2Ni2 High Entropy Alloys with Additions of Cu and Mo

New High Entropy Alloys based on the CoCrFe2Ni2 system have been developed by adding up to 10 at. % of Cu, Mo, and Cu + Mo in different amounts. These alloys showed a single face-centred cubic (FCC) structure after homogenization at 1200 °C. In order to evaluate their thermal stability, aging heat treatments at 500, 700, and 900 °C for 8 h were applied to study the possible precipitation phenomena. In the alloys where only Cu or Mo was added, we found the precipitation of an FCC Cu-rich phase or the µ phase rich in Mo, respectively, in agreement with some of the results previously shown in the literature. Nevertheless, we have observed that when both elements are present, Cu precipitation does not occur, and the formation of the Mo-rich phase is inhibited (or delayed). This is a surprising result as Cu and Mo have a positive enthalpy of mixing, being immiscible in a binary system, while added together they improve the stability of this system and maintain a single FCC crystal structure from medium to high temperatures

Lower Resolution Face Image Higher Resolution Image using Face Conditional Generative Adversarial Network

We propose a novel single face picture super-goal strategy, which is named Face Restrictive Generative Ill-disposed Organization (FCGAN), in view of limit harmony generative antagonistic organizations. To improve the combination speed and reinforce include spread, skip layer association is additionally utilized in the generative and discriminative organizations. Broad tests exhibit that our model accomplishes cutthroat execution contrasted and best in class models To improve the assembly speed and reinforce highlight proliferation, the Generator and Discriminator networks are planned with a skip-association engineering, and both utilizing an auto-encoder structure. Quantitative examinations show that our model accomplishes serious execution contrasted and the cutting edge models dependent on both visual quality and quantitative standards. We accept this excellent face picture created strategy can affect numerous applications in face ID and clever screen

Development of compressive testing device for glass fiber based single face corrugated structure sheet, and estimation of buckling strength of straight panel of that structure sheet

<abstract> <p>This work aims to reveal the in-plane-compressive characteristics of Glass Fibre based single face corrugated Structure Sheet (GFSS) by developing a loading holder of the both ends of the panel of GFSS in the direction of the cross machine direction. A grooved end-support device was developed and exmined. In order to set stably and quickly a straight panel of GFSS on the compressive-testing apparatus, the width and the depth of the holder's groove were varied against the geometrical size of the panel, and the stability and reproducibility of compressive deformation of the panel was experimentally investigated. When changing the height of the panel and reinforcing the both ends of the panel by dipping instant adhesives, the deformation behavior and the buckling strength was characterized in three modes: a short height crushing without lateral deflection, a small lateral deflection mode as the intermediate state, and a triangle-like folding as a long height crushing.</p> </abstract>

Estimation of spatial distribution and symmetry of textile materials using lacunarity

Numerical classification of textile materials, aramid, viscose, and PAN/WV, is proposed using lacunarity analysis of monochromatic digital representation of optical microscopic images. The method is sensitive to the spatial distribution of fibers, and equivalently, to the empty spaces between them. This means that lacunarity is able to quantitatively express a given level of spatial in-plane symmetries of single-face fabrics.

“This Single Slab of Marble Does Not Show you One Single Face”. •

The paper presents stone funerary monuments known from the Saint Michael Cathedral in Alba Iulia (in Hungarian, Gyulafehérvár, in German Karlsburg or Weissenburg, today in Romania) from the second half of the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries, the period of the Transylvanian Principality. These memorials represented a broad variety in terms of their quality and complexity, including simple heraldic ledgers produced locally as well as large wall monuments made of colorful marbles imported from the most fashionable Dutch and Italian workshops in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to commemorate the princes of Transylvania and their family members. All stone funerary monuments, regardless their size and form, are linked by their function: they were created to preserve and evoke the memory of the dead among the present and future generations of the living by communicating specific messages about them. The forms, materials, images, and texts, as well as the location of the memorial in the space of the medieval cathedral and in the context of the other funerary monuments there were all carefully chosen to serve this purpose of communication. The paper analyzes all principality-period funerary monuments from the Saint Michael Cathedral in Alba Iulia as media of memory, including both the simple and the more complex ones ordered from abroad to commemorate the Transylvanian rulers. I will examine the monuments in the context of their production and reception, within the scene of sculpture in Central and Eastern Europe, in order to understand what kind of memory they were intended to preserve and how they were designed to retain and shape the memory of the deceased.

Hierarchical Microstructure of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Produced Face-Centered-Cubic-Structured Equiatomic CrFeNiMn Multicomponent Alloy

A cobalt-free equiatomic CrFeNiMn multicomponent alloy was fabricated from gas-atomized powder using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), also known as selective laser melting (SLM). The as-built specimens had a single face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, relative density of 98%, and hardness up to 248 HV0.5 for both the scanning speeds applied. In this work, we report the hierarchical microstructural features observed in the as-built specimens. These are comprised of melt pools, grains, cell structures including dendritic cells, elongated cells, equiaxed cells (~500 nm), and sub-cells (150–300 nm). The cell and sub-cell walls are composed of a notably high density of dislocations. In addition, segregation of Mn and Ni was detected at the cell walls, but only occasionally at the sub-cell walls. SLM exhibits the capability to produce FCC-structured equiatomic CrFeNiMn multicomponent alloy with the refined and hierarchical microstructure.
