Partial short cover depth may result due to poor construction quality and uneven formwork. In this study, lithium nitrite-based gel was used as an anodic corrosion inhibitor coating material to investigate its influence on the corrosion of rebar embedded in a partial short cover depth in the presence of chloride. The specimens were cured at a temperature of 20 ◦ C and a relative humidity of higher than 95%. (a) Macrocell corrosion current density, (b) microcell corrosion current, and (c) polarization curves were measured, and the results were compared with those of uncoated specimens after aging for 28 days. The results revealed that the corrosion rate was reduced considerably due to the application of the coating with the gel type.","PeriodicalId":504392,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 5th Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209048","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}

In this study, four quinuclidinol-based quaternary ammonium ionic liquids (ILs)were at first prepared using simple procedures, and then they were used as catalyst for acetophe-none reduction. The main catalytic conditions were studied and screened through a comparison among the reaction results. It showed that the highest yield of 1-phenylethanol was 88.6% when [MenQu]Cl was used as a catalyst; the ideal solvent was ethanol; the amount of catalyst was 20 mol%, and the reaction temperature was 25 ◦ C. More substrates were employed to validate the universality of the developed method using such an IL. Moreover, potential reaction mechanisms and an IL recovery method were also suggested, which laid the foundation for its further applications in the field of sustainable chemistry and cleaner industrial production.","PeriodicalId":504392,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 5th Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability","volume":"558 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139204371","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}

Using the structural analysis of the existing looms and based on the concepts of weaving, a creative open‑type rigid heald was developed to replace the traditional one and generate warp shedding. Corresponding to the raster graphics of the designed pattern, the heald shape had convex–concave features to control warping in shedding. The pattern design was integrated into the heald design using mechanical coding.","PeriodicalId":504392,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 5th Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability","volume":"66 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139196792","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}

Novel ideas are proposed to create a new situation and make banks invincible but it is questionable if such innovations necessarily bring competitiveness or business performance. To answer this question, we analyzed market competition using the PR test and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to study the operational efficiency of banks. K-means were also used to segment banks into three groups, Leader, Chaser, and Laggard. The data included financial (business performance) and patent data (innovation) of Taiwan’s banks from 2013 to 2020. The research results revealed that the market competition in the Leader group was the most intense. Quasi-public banks were relatively inefficient in creating revenue, while private banks were more efficient. The Chaser group showed the most apparent changes in operational efficiency from 2013 to 2020. The banks in the Laggard group needed to strengthen the relative efficiency of revenue, and financial innovation needed to be individualized in this competitive market group.","PeriodicalId":504392,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 5th Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139201527","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}
