This experimental result showed that an average diameter of cellulose fiber was reduced from 121.11 μm to 87.51 μm and a specific surface area was increasing from 161.13 m2/kg to 184.97 m2/kg. In hydrolysis process, sulfuric acid was selected to remove an amorphous region in cellulose fibrils and to introduce sulfate groups to form stable suspensions in organic media. This hydrolysis result demonstrated that MCC had an average diameter of 14.47 μm and a specific surface area of 427 m2/kg. The morphology of MCC was observed by optical microscopy.","PeriodicalId":251893,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Science and Technology (TICST)","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133262383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of N2 gas flow rate on the structure of the as-deposited films was invested. Cr and Al metals were used as sputtering targets. The Cr and Al sputtering current were fixed at 300 mA. The sputtering gas (Ar) flow rate was fixed at 10 sccm and the reactive gas (N2) flow rate was varied from 2 sccm to 10 sccm. The crystal structure, thickness, roughness, microstructure, surface morphology, elemental composition and hardness were characterized by glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and nanoindentation technique, respectively. The results showed that, all the as-deposited films were formed as a (Cr, Al)N solid solution. The as-deposited films exhibited a nanostructure with a crystallite size of less than 40 nm. The crystal size and lattice constant was in range of 17-33 nm and 3.998-4.165 Å, respectively. The film thickness and roughness decreased from 400 nm to 244 nm and 2.8 nm to 1.4 nm, respectively, with increasing the N2 gas flow rate. The elemental composition of the as-deposited films varied with the N2 gas flow rate. Cross section analysis by FE-SEM showed compact columnar and dense morphology as increasing the N2 gas flow rate. The film hardness was in range of 14.1-60.3 GPa.","PeriodicalId":251893,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Science and Technology (TICST)","volume":"134 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133391961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A three - year period (2009-2011) of the cloud cover data derived from the sky images and cloud index derived from MTSAT - 1R satellite data were prepared. Based on these data, a model relating cloud cover to cloud index was formulated. To validate its performance, the model was used to calculate cloud cover at the four stations during a two - year period (2012-2013). It was found that measured and calculated cloud cover were in reasonable agreement, with root mean square differences (RMSD) and mean bias difference (MBD) of 14.9% and -3.4%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":251893,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Science and Technology (TICST)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114296971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ratio of ordinary Portland cement (oPC): sand: CA are 1: 2.21: 3.03 and replaced CA with DWM at the levels of 0, 25 and 50 wt.%. The range of A/C ratio as 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 by weight and replaced CA with DWM at the level of 50% by weight. All concretes were tested for compressive strength, unit weight and water absorption at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results showed that increasing the levels of DWM reduced density and compressive strength. The compressive strength and density of concrete with 25 and 50 wt.% of DWM decreased to 33, 11 % and 65, 23 % compared with normal concrete respectively. The lightweight aggregate concrete with DWM at the level of 50 wt.% in the A/C ratio of 4: 1 gave the compressive strength at 28 days and density of 19.4 MPa and 1744 kg/m3. This satisfies the strength and density requirement for structural lightweight concrete of the ASTM C330 and ACI 213R-04 except water absorption which was 13.22 wt.% higher than the other ratios.

The experimental results showed that liquid limit and compressive strength increased with increasing of CCR loading except plastic index and shrinkage limit decreased. The highest compressive strength was found in compacted clay with 15 wt.% of CCR after 7 days (399 kPa.). When the levels of WTR in compacted clay increased, the liquid, plastic and shrinkage limit decreased. After 3 days of curing, the clay liner with 50 wt.% of WTR replacement gave the highest strength and WTR. At the early curing (7 days), compacted clay liner containing 50 wt.% of WTR replacement and 15 wt.% of CCR gave highest strength thereafter. In addition, Water permeability of compacted clay liner containing less than 50 wt.% of WTR meets the standard limit of landfill liner (1×10-7).","PeriodicalId":251893,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Science and Technology (TICST)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126857128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiments was conducted using LabVIEW and NI USB 6009 as acquisition device for controlling the air heater mini plant. The performance of this type-2 FLC was evaluated and compared to type-1 FLC. The experiments were conducted in order to record the step responses, the responses in handling the disturbances, and the responses to set point changes.

They also found that having negative social feedbacks reduced energy consumption better than having factual, positive social, and no feedbacks. The present study compares the effect of positive and negative social and factual feedbacks on user preferences in air conditioning (AC) temperature setting. A higher room temperature setting means a lower energy use. We predicted that having any of the feedbacks increased chosen temperatures compared to having no feedback and that having negative social feedbacks increased chosen temperatures compared to having either factual, positive social, or no feedbacks. An interface was made in order for the AC remote controller to be able to communicate with computers. Animated faces which are able to smile or frown were made representing positive and negative social feedbacks. The factual feedback is represented by a bar indicator that turns red when users choose low temperatures and green when high. 159 participants were asked to participate for the experiment and randomly assigned to either control, factual, positive, or negative feedback groups. A computer screen was put in front of respondents to display the animated feedbacks. Participants set their preferred AC temperature by means of a remote controller and the screen deliver feedbacks according to the chosen temperature. One-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data with temperatures as the dependent variable and feedbacks as independent variables. Results show that there was a significant effect of feedbacks on chosen temperatures, F(3, 153) = 20.96, p <; .001, r = .54. There was a significant linear trend, F(1, 153) = 60.55, p <; .001, r = .53, indicating that as the feedback changed from factual to positive and negative social, the temperature increased proportionally. Planned contrasts showed that having animated social feedbacks increased chosen temperatures compared to having no feedback, t(152) = 6.80, p <; .001 (1-tailed), r = .39, and that having negative social feedbacks increased chosen temperatures compared to having positive social feedbacks, t(152) = 2.14, p <; .05 (1-tailed), r = .17.

The adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution onto raw laterite soil (LS) and manganese oxide-modified laterite soil (Mn-LS) was evaluated based on batch method. The adsorption efficiency of Pb(II) was investigated as a function of the initial pH, equilibrium time, adsorbent concentration and initial Pb(II) concentration and temperature. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of LS and Mn-LS were estimated as 1.053 and 38.76 mg g-1, respectively. The results show that the amount of Pb(II) adsorbed onto Mn-LS was more than LS by about 39-times under the optimized adsorption condition. The adsorption isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich models was used to describe the equilibrium isotherm. It is observed that the data from both adsorbents fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm. The calculated adsorption energy (14.95 kJ mol-1) from the Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) model indicated that the adsorption process onto Mn-LS was taken place mainly by chemical ion exchange. The kinetic evaluation also suggested that the adsorption process of both adsorbents followed well the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of Pb(II) onto LS and Mn-LS process was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic.","PeriodicalId":251893,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Science and Technology (TICST)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116779175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
