Abstract

Pedestrians often suffer severe injuries in road traffic accidents. Therefore, pedestrian safety and, more precisely, analysis of injuries of the knee joint and lower limb bones were the focus of this research. A Vietnamese-sized human body model (HBM), named V-THUMS, scaled from the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) representing a walking pedestrian, was utilized in a numerical simulation. A pickup truck model was used to simulate pedestrian collisions with impact speeds from 20 km/h to 50 km/h. To reduce the computational time, the pickup truck model was simplified. In addition, the collision angle was varied from 0o, 30o, 60o, 90o, -30o, -60o to -90o to explore the effect of angle position on the injury mechanisms of the leg. The results illustrate that in some cases at low speeds there is a relationship between bone fracture and ligament rupture that does not exist at high speeds. The femur is very difficult to fracture because the bone is very hard and thick. It was found that at 20 km/h impact speed, the lower limbs are unharmed.

Abstract

Full comprehension of precipitation patterns is crucially needed, especially in Pekan, a district in Pahang, Malaysia. The area is renowned for its elevated levels of precipitation, making it imperative to precisely categorize and enhance the analysis of rainfall patterns to facilitate effective resource allocation, agricultural productivity, and catastrophe readiness. The variability of rainfall patterns is contingent upon geographical location, necessitating the collection of a comprehensive data set that includes several characteristics that influence precipitation to make reliable predictions. Data were collected from the Vantage Pro2 weather station, which is located on the UMP Pekan campus. This study used the RT method to classify rainfall and T-Method 1 to determine the degree of contribution of each parameter. Significant parameters were validated using a data set from the same type of weather station but in a different district. The results showed that the Mahalanobis-Taguchi Bee Algorithm (MTBA) is more effective than the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) in finding the significant parameters, but the parameters were a subset of MTS Teshima. Finally, the validation with T mean-based error (Tmbe) using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) revealed a pattern of errors to provide insight to find the significant parameters of MTS.

Abstract

Currently, 24.5% of the population of Bima City lack access to sanitation. The issue is predominantly concentrated in densely populated urban slums along the riverbanks, influenced by the cultural and societal context of Indonesian society. From 2021 to 2022, a comprehensive mixed-method study was conducted in three urban slums, applying the Integrated Framework for Sanitation Services (IFSS) to explore individual aspects within a socio-cultural context. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the research involved a household questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews (IDI). The study revealed that individual aspects are shaped by perceptions of the convenience of open defecation and latrine use as well as experiences with shared latrines, driving the adoption of private latrines. Challenges such as financial constraints and limited construction capabilities in urban slum communities often hinder latrine construction, though cultural and traditional values (adat) in the Bima community in urban slums help to alleviate these obstacles. A recommendation is made to enhance the monitoring of sanitation adoption progress, focusing on the sanitation system’s functioning and adherence to the sanitation hierarchy. Despite awareness of the importance of safe disposal, its impact on sanitation behavior in Bima City’s urban slums has been constrained, underscoring the imperative for effective behavior change communication strategies.

Abstract

The liquefaction that occurred in the city of Palu on September 28, 2018, was caused by a series of significant earthquakes that took place in a relatively short time around 25 minutes after the main earthquake of magnitude 7.5. This event was followed by aftershocks of magnitudes 6.4, 6.2, and 6.1. The magnitude 6.2 aftershock occurred at 10.16 UTC, while the magnitude 6.1 aftershock occurred at 10.25 UTC. These were both located very close to the liquefaction locations in Balaroa, Petobo, and Jono Oge. We investigated the mainshock and the three aftershocks using the NCEER method based on Vs30 measurements and data from the drill liquefaction locations at Balaroa, Petobo, and Jono Oge. We found that the liquefaction was not only caused by the main earthquake but also by the subsequent aftershocks that occurred within 25 minutes after the mainshock.

Abstract

The Instrumented Charpy impact test is a promising method for determining a material’s impact response. Stainless steel has higher impact energy absorption capacity, high tensile, and yield strength compared to aluminum. Performance varies among grades; for instance, Aluminum 7075-T6 exceeds Aluminum 6061-T6 in tensile and yield strength. However, information regarding their energy capacity and impact signal pattern is lacking. This study investigated the impact properties using a Charpy machine, a data acquisition system, and a sensing element. Strain gauges were used to record the impact strain signal, enabling the analysis of impact duration, maximum strain, and the area under the curve. Specimens experimented include Stainless Steel 304, Aluminum Alloy 6061-T6, and Aluminum Alloy 7075-T6. The Charpy machine measures absorbed energy, while the theoretical impact energy is computed from software data. The area under the strain-time curve reflects the material energy absorption capacity. Stainless Steel 304 demonstrates superior energy absorbed, impact duration, and area under the curve, followed by Aluminum 6061-T6 and Aluminum 7075-T6. Despite higher tensile and yield strength, the inferior impact response of Aluminum 7075-T6 highlights the importance of factors like ductility, elongation, and alloy composition. Consequently, Aluminum 6061 is commonly used in the automotive industry, while Aluminum 7075 is preferred in aerospace applications.

Abstract

In response to the issue of high tomato yield, low efficiency in harvesting tomatoes grown in greenhouses, and low recognition accuracy of nighttime harvesting robots, a design was developed and a robotic system was created specifically for nighttime greenhouse tomato harvesting. The robot employs a vision system and YOLOv5+HSV fusion algorithm to recognize and locate tomatoes. It then transmits this information to the robotic arm. By coordinating the visual system, the robotic arm, the end effector, and the lifting mechanism, the robot accurately picks ripe tomatoes. The robot was subjected to simulated field tests for visual recognition and harvesting, both during daytime and nighttime conditions. The results showed that the success rate of nighttime harvesting was slightly lower than during the daytime but remained at a relatively high level. The daytime harvesting success rate and the average time to pick a single fruit were 87.78% and 15.99 seconds, respectively. The nighttime harvesting success rate and the average time to pick a single fruit were 87.55% and 17.26 seconds, respectively. This approach effectively improves the recognition accuracy and harvesting speed of the harvesting robot, reducing damage to tomatoes during harvesting, and addresses the issues of supplementary lighting and image noise reduction for nighttime harvesting robots.

Abstract

In view of the development trend of rail vehicles towards higher operating speed and low power consumption, a scheme for a lightweight rail vehicle body is proposed, based on sensitivity analysis. Using topology optimization of the vehicle body section structure, finite element models of the vehicle body section structure under single working conditions and multiple working conditions were established, respectively, and the force transmission path of the vehicle body structure under different working conditions was obtained under different working conditions. The topology of the cross-sectional structure of the vehicle body was optimized by the compromise planning method with weights. Then, a reconstruction and performance analysis of the car body section was carried out based on the optimization results and finally the finite difference method was used to analyze the sensitivity of the vehicle body structure and the vehicle body size was optimized based on the sensitivity analysis results. The results showed that the weight reduction rate of the railway vehicle body section stiffened plate was 4.47% compared to the optimization period and the modal performance analysis results of the optimized structure met the requirements. The weight reduction ratio of the optimized body structure was 21.6%

Abstract

Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M/NC) demonstrates a promising effective electrocatalyst for enhancing oxygen evolution/reduction reactions (OER/ORR). However, synthesizing these catalysts is often complex, time-consuming, and involves hazardous solvents while producing a low yield. This work introduces a versatile, eco-friendly, and straightforward solvent-free method to produce M/NC (M = Co, Ni, and Fe) catalysts in ~3 h using a glucose, urea, and metal nitrate hydrate mixture. The high-yield M/NC catalysts exhibit a porous architecture and uniform distribution of metal nanoparticles within a foaming flakes-like nitrogen-doped carbon matrix. The metal nanoparticles are wrapped with protective nitrogen-doped carbon layers, producing stable active sites. Possessing these unique properties, the obtained M/NC catalysts show high-performance and stable bifunctional OER/ORR. As the best result, Co/NC presents an OER/ORR potential difference (ΔE) of 0.78 V and retains 96% and 89% of its OER and ORR performance after a 10 h stability test. In practical application, the Co/NC-based Zn-air battery depicts a high power density of 184 mW cm−2 and good rechargeability of up to 120 h, outperforming the battery with noble metal-based catalysts. This work sheds light on the versatile, eco-friendly, and scalable synthesis of M/NC catalysts while presenting a strategy to accelerate the generation of inexpensive and highly effective bifunctional OER/ORR catalysts.

Abstract

Averrhoa bilimbi fruit extract was utilized as a reducing and capping agent in the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the effects of in-situ deagglomeration on physical properties and antibiofilm activity against Escherichia coli. The study explored various biosynthesis parameters, namely deagglomeration method (physical vs chemical), temperature (30, 60 ℃), and zinc precursor-to-extract volumetric ratio (0.5 and 2). High purity crystalline ZnO nanoparticles were obtained by calcining biosynthesis precipitates at 375  ℃. The resulting particles consisted of the wurtzite ZnO phase, with diameters ranging from 18 to 30 nm. The hydrodynamic mean particle diameters were 1.0 to 3.5 µm, suggesting the formation of soft agglomerates. Physical deagglomeration was more effective at higher temperatures, while chemical deagglomeration was more efficient at lower temperatures, owing to the interaction between the deagglomeration method and biosynthesis temperature. The biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited good antibiofilm activity, achieving a 61% reduction in biofilm population at 50 ppm ZnO, which increased to 78% at a dose of 200 ppm. This activity was improved by lower biosynthesis temperature and precursor:extract ratio, likely due to the preservation of bioactive molecules. The results demonstrate the potential of biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles as antibiofilm agent, offering enhanced effectiveness compared to commercial ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract

This work analyzed the interactions between gate oxide thickness (Tox), voltage dependence, and electron mobility (E-mobility) in the inversion layer, which controls the electron movement properties of 4H-SiC/SiO2. This paper also presents a calculation of gate oxide thickness in correlation with gate voltage mainly for high-voltage applications. The results of this work revealed that at low resistance, E-mobility increases with gate voltage and oxide thickness, which saturates at the point of value. Coulomb scattering and surface phonons at the inversion region of SiC MOSFETs are regarded as the two primary factors that limit E-mobility in these devices. In addition, the high interface trap density (Dit) causes a decrease in E-mobility. The findings from this study confirmed that the computed values of oxide thickness and simulation-based oxide thickness with regulated gate voltages have the least variation below 1%, asserting experimental and theoretical outcomes about the role of oxide thickness and electron movement at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interfaces. These results indicate that understanding the E-mobility effect on oxide thickness in the SiC MOSFET inversion layer according to gate voltage is important, particularly in achieving an optimal 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface for high-power applications.
