La11Si11P21Te5 and La20.667Si18P46Te11.333: Two Novel 3D‐Polyanionic Lanthanum Compounds Following the Zintl‐Klemm Concept

AbstractDuring attempts to synthesize La3PTe3, after participation of the SiO2‐container material, two so far unknown compounds could be isolated, which both follow the Zintl‐Klemm concept. The novel quaternary lanthanum tellurides La11Si11P21Te5 and La20.667Si18P46Te11.333 crystallize hexagonally in the non‐centrosymmetric space group P c with the unit‐cell parameters a=1204.97(6) pm and c=1802.38(9) pm (c/a=1.496) or a=1205.78(6) pm and c=1802.16(9) pm (c/a=1.495), respectively. Their very similar crystal structures can be divided into two interpenetrating three‐dimensional sublattices, {[La11Te5]23+} (d(La3+−Te2−)=314–335 pm plus 352 pm) and {[Si11P21]23−} (d(Si−P)=221–225 pm, (d(Si−Si)=230–231 pm, (d(P−P)=220–221 pm) for La11Si11P21Te5 (Z=2), displaying unique structural features as compared to related compounds. The linkage of these two sublattices occurs through attractive La3+−Si− and La3+−P− interactions (d(La−Si)=333 pm, (d(La−P)=298–318 pm). For La20.667Si18P46Te11.333 (Z=1), 4/3 out of 22 La3+cations in the doubled formula La22Si22P42Te10 have to be omitted, while the four Si− anions need to be replaced with phosphorus atoms. The La3+ vacancies are filled up with tellurium, partly forming [Te2]2− dumbbells (d(Te−Te)=274 pm). La11Si11P21Te5 can be obtained on target by reacting the elements (La, Si, P and Te) in their respective amounts with an excess of potassium chloride as fluxing agent in evacuated and torch‐sealed glassy silica ampoules for four days at 900 °C as black pillars or thick plates with hexagonal cross‐section.

Effect of Shape, Size, and Color of the Food Plate on Consumer Perception of Energy Value, Portion Size, Attractiveness, and Expected Price of Dessert.

The development of new dishes in the catering services market requires an understanding of consumers' needs, expectations, and motivations for their choices. The effect of the serving method of a dessert on customers' perceptions of its visual appeal, portion size, energy value, and expected price was evaluated. The study involved the presentation of desserts on plates of various sizes, shapes, and colors. The study was carried out among 1005 respondents using the CAWI method. Our findings revealed that along with an increasing plate size from a diameter of ϕ24-27 cm to ϕ31 cm, the ratings of the dish's perceived appearance (p ≤ 0.001), portion size (p ≤ 0.001), and energy value (p ≤ 0.01) decreased. Plate shape influenced the perceived appearance of the dessert. When placed on a square platter, round desserts were considerably (p ≤ 0.05) less appealing. The color of the plate had a significant influence (p ≤ 0.001) on the dish's perceived appearance and estimated monetary value, and it evoked more sensory-hedonic impressions. Red-plate and white-plate desserts were liked less than black-plate desserts, but color-plated desserts were perceived as more expensive than those served on white dishes. Consumers perceived bright desserts on white plates as traditional, natural, and boring; those on black plates as modern, appetizing, and aesthetic; and those served on red plates as artificial, unsightly, and unappetizing. Higher consumer food neophobia led to a lower rating related to appearance and price perceptions, but elevated perceptions of portion size and energy value appraisal. Our results may be used in the marketing of gastronomic dishes.

Investigation of Thermal Similarity and Performances of Solar Thermal Air Collector with Heat-Soaked Vehicle Cabin

This article explores the potential of vehicle interiors, which can reach temperatures of up to 120°C due to solar exposure, as efficient solar collectors. Comparative studies have been conducted on the thermal behavior of heat-soaked vehicle cabins and dedicated solar collectors, highlighting their potential benefits in heating, cooling and ventilation. Thermal soak tests reveal a remarkable similarity in thermal performance between the two, with minor temperature variations of up to 5.3°C between the equivalent components. These temperature deviations are mainly due to differences in absorptivity characteristics, in which the black absorber plate exhibits superior absorption capabilities compared to the grey interior cabin surfaces. Integration of ambient air through the inlets on the cabin floor helps with initial cooling of the hot soaked cabin. The collector benefits from a preheated air mixture (comprising heat-soaked cabin air and ambient air), which improves its operating temperatures. This characteristic is attributed to the synergistic integration of the two systems. By decoupling these systems and aligning the properties of the absorber plate, the cabin and the collector could become thermally identical. The potential of the heated vehicle cabin as a power generation source is underscored, which presents opportunities to supplement the energy demand in remote locations. This study illuminates the untapped potential of vehicular solar heat capture, highlighting its feasibility, diverse applications, and significant implications for sustainable energy strategies and community development.

Designing Jewelry from identity Black Spinel Fragments of Kanchanaburi Province

The design of jewelry from Kanjanaburi Province's identity aims to: 1) Classify the types, limitations, and information of local identity materials in Kanjanaburi Province. 2) Study the identity of Kanjanaburi Province, both in terms of abstract and concrete. 3) Develop guidelines for designing jewelry using local identity materials that communicate the uniqueness of Kanjanaburi Province. The research team gathered data from both documentary sources and field surveys in the Kanjanaburi Province, leading to an analysis of business-related issues in the gem and jewelry industry in the region. The key summarized points for jewelry design into 3 points include: 1) Utilization of local identity materials, black spinel, in Kanjanaburi Province. 2) The essence of the abstract and concrete of Kanjanaburi Province's identity. 3) Trends suitable for developing jewelry patterns from local identity materials. The important components for creating design guidelines, designing jewelry from local identity materials, and selecting a prototype for production were derived from the expertise of three specialists. These components contribute to the production of prototype jewelry representing the unique identity of Kanjanaburi Province. The research results categorize the types of black spinel into three categories: black spinel, black pyroxene, and magnetite. The information on the identity of Kanjanaburi Province can be divided into four aspects: 1) Natural and Environmental Aspect, 2) Cultural Aspect, 3) Ritual Aspect, and 4) Gem and Jewelry Aspect. These aspects lead to the conclusion of design guidelines for jewelry made from black spinel, representing the identity of Kanjanaburi Province, as evaluated by experts. The designed work is a jewelry set called 'Kanjanigar,' specifically inspired by the Kanjanaburi Province's flower, the Kanjanigar flower. The jewelry set includes various earring designs that can be worn according to different clothing styles and occasions. The materials used in the design are small-sized black spinel plates, along with black pyroxene, using drilling and resin techniques. The researchers have transferred this work to local entrepreneurs in Kanjanaburi Province through practical training sessions, with 22 participants. The pre-training understanding of design was rated at 3.31, while post-training understanding significantly increased to 4.65. This indicates that the provided guidelines can effectively enhance the knowledge and skills of local entrepreneurs in Kanjanaburi Province in designing jewelry from black spinel.

Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization of Stiffness and Damping Performance of Acoustic Black Hole Plate

This paper uses embedded Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) on the wallboard for structure lightening and improving the performance in broadband vibration reduction. The distribution and size of multiple ABHs affect the generalized static stiffness (GSS) and the upper limit of the structure's maximum kinetic energy (ULMKE) in practical applications, which express the ability to resist static load and vibration reduction performance, respectively. In this research, the structure's GSS and ULMKE are considered optimization objectives due to the trade-off between them. The method based on the Pareto optimal solution is adopted to optimize the layout and the radii of the ABHs. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is used as the multi-objective optimization algorithm. Two 2D-ABHs embedded in a plate are optimized as numerical examples. The optimization generated several groups of Pareto optimal solutions, providing more feasible solutions for different applications faster. The verification further proved the necessity and the effectiveness of multi-objective optimization.

Vibration and acoustic characteristics of acoustic black hole plates with variable elastic modulus

Acoustic black hole (ABH), as a new wave manipulation technique, shows excellent applications in vibration and noise reduction of structures. Nowadays, most ABHs use materials with a fixed elastic modulus, limiting their low-frequency performance. Herein ABH plates with variable elastic modulus (VM-ABH) is designed, and its vibration and acoustic radiation characteristics are investigated by using numerical analysis. The results show that the vibration response of VM-ABH has a decrease of 5–13.2[Formula: see text]dB relative to that of the uniform texture ABH (UT-ABH) in the frequency range of 10–5000[Formula: see text]Hz, and the degree of energy aggregation is significantly improved. Moreover, the sound pressure level was reduced by 3.6 dB. Meanwhile, by linearly varying the elastic modulus in the center region of the VM-ABH, the effects of gradient index and terminal elastic modulus on the damping characteristics and dynamic response are revealed. The research results provide new objects for the study of vibration and noise reduction of ABH.

STREAMING MUSIK SEBAGAI KONSTRUKSI IDENTITAS (SEBUAH KAJIAN LITERATUR)

In the current digital era, it is incredibly simple to appreciate music. It is now possible to enjoy music without purchasing CDs, cassettes, or even black plates. The availability of music streaming services has rendered internet connectivity the sole requirement for unrestricted music listening. Thus, music can be utilised to accompany daily activities as background music. Prior studies have indicated that an individual's identity might be discernible through the music collection hosted on a music streaming platform. This literary study aims to investigate the process of identity formation through music streaming services, drawing on past research and the social construction theory proposed by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Internalisation, externalisation, and objectivation are the three dialectical moments of social construction that occur during the identity formation process via the music streaming service, according to this literary analysis. The moments of introspection an individual experiences while listening to music on a personalised streaming service are compiled into a playlist that contributes to the formation of one's sense of self. When identical identities are present in a society, objectivation ensues, resulting in the formation of a new social identity

A novel technique to quantify the kinetics of blood clot contraction based on the expulsion of fluorescently labeled albumin into serum

BackgroundThe platelet-driven contraction or retraction of blood clots has been utilized to obtain blood serum for laboratory studies, but now, in vitro clot contraction assays are used in research laboratories and clinics to assess platelet functionality. The static final extent of clot contraction measured using a clot size or expelled serum volume can be supplemented substantially with a dynamic analysis. ObjectivesTo provide a step-by-step protocol for a relatively simple and affordable new automated methodology to follow the kinetics of blood clot contraction, which allows for simultaneous measurements of various samples at a time and requires only a fluorescence plate reader. MethodsThe kinetics of clot contraction in whole blood was assessed by continuously detecting the fluorescence intensity of fluorescein isothiocyanate-albumin added to a blood sample before clotting and expelled into the serum during clot shrinkage. ResultsThe clots are formed and fluorescence is measured in the wells of a black multiwell plate using a standard plate fluorescent reader. The specificity of this technique for clot contraction has been demonstrated by the strong inhibitory effects of blebbistatin, latrunculin A, and abciximab. To validate the new technique, increased fluorescence intensity in the contracting clots was measured in parallel with a visual decrease in clot size performed with the same blood samples. ConclusionThe resulting clot contraction dynamics based on the expulsion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-albumin can be quantified using a number of kinetic parameters as well as a phase kinetics analysis. The advantages and drawbacks of the new technique are discussed.

Optimized solar food dryer with varied air heater designs

The use of solar energy for drying is considered one of the most environmentally friendly ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The purpose of this experimental study is to determine how absorption plate design affects the evaporation rate of a solar food dryer in Baghdad, Iraq. Tests were performed on four different absorbent panel models. This dryer design consists of a section for heating solar air and one for preserving food. There is insulation at the back of the dining cabinet, which is made of wood. As food samples, orange slices were selected. Except for the absorb plate design, all four models have identical measurements. Matte black aluminum absorbent plate is featured on the Model-1. Both Models 2 and 3 have perforated cylindrical fins arranged uniformly and vertically in Model 2 and horizontally in Model 3. Model 4 uses horizontal fins and an absorber plate coated with 15 % silicon content. A fruit cabinet holds sliced fruit in five movable mesh trays. According to experimental results, the shape of the absorbent plate directly affects the temperature of the outlet air, which in turn affects the rate at which water is evaporated from fruit slices and the overall drying process. Model-1 solar air heaters could be improved by approximately 17 % by coating them with 15 % silicon. The efficiency of Models 2, 3, and 4 is increased by 20 %, 40 %, and 65 % by adding fins and tint over Model 1. Models 1, 2, 3, and 4 had moisture contents of 28 %, 25 %, 20 %, and 18 %, respectively, at 15 p.m. A solar dryer has been demonstrated to be suitable for successfully drying fruits and vegetables in Iraq's atmosphere through practical experiments.

The Modeling of Disc-shaped Acoustic Black Hole Plate and Vibration Characteristics

The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) structure has great potential in vibration and noise control due to the characteristics of high damping and energy accumulation. A dish-shaped two-dimensional acoustic black hole plate is proposed in order to reduce the possibility of the structural damage happened in conventional embedded ABH in the centre of the plate. The dish-shaped acoustic black hole plate only cuts ABH on the edge. The finite element method is often used to establish the model of acoustic black hole plates. However, it is high cost and low efficiency in computation. A semi-analytical theoretical model of the disc-shaped acoustic black hole plate based on Gaussian expansion method is established in order to improve computation efficiency. Meanwhile, the shape function filtering method is proposed to solve the problem of non-convergence when Gaussian expansion method is used to model a non-rectangular plate. A finite element model of the disc-shaped acoustic black hole plate is established and used to verify the accuracy of the proposed semi-analytical theoretical model. The results show that the dish-shaped acoustic black hole plate has excellent energy accumulation effect and can be used further as Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) to reduce the vibration of host structure.

New Amino-Anthracene-9, 10-Dione Derivatives: Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation as Powerful Neuroprotective and Antidepressant Agents

The monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme resides in the outer mitochondrial membranes of all body cells, including the ones found in the brain, liver, and intestinal mucosa. Dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, tyramine, and tryptamine are extrinsic and indigenous amines that MAO oxidatively deaminates. MAO-A has been correlated with depression and other mental health issues, while MAO-B has been associated with the conditions Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In a targeted assessment of naturally occurring anthraquinones, two isoforms of recombinant human MAOs were utilized. The inhibitory effects of purpurin and alizarin on MAO-A were observed, with calculated IC50 values of 2.50 and 30.1 M, respectively. This research on anthraquinones, purpurin, and alizarin offers promising new information that might eventually be used as a lead molecule in the discovery of the unique synthetic anthraquinones, anthracene 9, 10-dione compounds 1 to 9. On 96-well black polystyrene microtiter plates, both MAOs inhibiting action of 9 distinct synthetic anthracene 9,10-dione compounds has been evaluated. Compared to clorgyline, compounds 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 inhibit MAO-A significantly, while compounds 1, 3, 5, 8, and 9 considerably inhibit MAO-B. Significant findings indicate that these compounds may be beneficial When employed to treat depression owing to their intense selective MAO-B activity and antidepressant effects as a result of their selective MAO-inhibition.

Vibration and sound radiation of an acoustic black hole plate immersed in heavy fluid

Vibrational acoustic black holes (ABHs) have shown great promise for reducing structural vibrations and sound radiation in light fluids. However, it is still unknown whether the acoustic black hole (ABH) effect can be materialized in heavy fluids. This paper discusses this issue by developing a semi-analytical model on a simply supported ABH plate that vibrates and radiates sound into water. The proposed model is validated by finite element models and used to investigate the vibration and sound radiation properties of the ABH plate in different frequency ranges. The results show that the ABH effect can be systematically manifested in heavy fluids, as reflected by a significant increase in structural damping and a decrease in vibration and sound radiation. Numerical analysis of the radiation damping and mass loading effects shows that the radiation damping has little effect on the vibration reduction of the water-loaded plate. However, the mass loading effect mitigates the low-frequency drawback of conventional ABH structures in air, resulting in a broadband reduction in structural vibration and sound radiation from the water-loaded ABH plate.

Меотские сероглиняные кружки IV–III вв. до н.э.

The article is devoted to the typology and chronology of gray clay cups from the Maeotian burial grounds on the right bank of the Kuban river. Type 1 refers to biconical cups with a high, narrow neck widening upwards (30 items). A little over half of the studied vessels come from assemblages with a wide chronological range dating back to the 4th and early 3rd centuries BC, where they are accompanied by swords of the Sindian-Maeotian type or sets of pottery characteristic of this period. The remaining burials with cups can be dated more precisely by the finds of container amphorae from different centers (Heraclea, Thasos, Ikos, Mende, Sinope, etc.). The wide chronological framework of the existence of type 1 cups among the Maeotians can be determined within the first half of the 4th century BC, but their narrow chronology is limited to the second quarter of this century. Two versions of the origin of cups of this shape are put forward: the first one is from imported red clay vessels; the second one is from hand-made cups of the 6th–5th centuries BC. Type 2 is truncated conical cups widening upwards (13 items). There are not enough strong chronological references for a narrow dating of this type of cups. Furthermore, apart from the cups, imported vessels were found in the three assemblages including amphorae of Rhodes, a black glazed plate and a fish plate. As the analysis of the assemblages shows, type 2 cups existed among the Maeotians for a rather limited period from the late 3rd century BC up until the beginning of the next century.

Thermo-optical coupling applied to high luminance LED used in automotive front lighting

Automotive front lighting evolved towards high definition beams. To create such function, up to several light source per square millimeters are involved. The current trend tends to replace multiple LED designs with only one high luminance LED. The 10W-optical power emitted by this optoelectronic source induces high energy density that requires to be thermally managed. Moreover, when this LED is integrated within its optical system, the radiation concentration can lead to the system self-heating, leading to early damage or failure. The strategy adopted in this paper to avoid the component failure consists in developing an accurate and robust multi-physics simulation to predict heat transfer in a LED lighting system. In this paper, the validation of a high luminance LED thermo-optical coupling model is achieved by comparing numerical simulations with experimental results. The full optical characterization of LED has been performed to build its opto-thermal model. Then, an experimental set-up has been designed and consists in positioning a black plate in front of the LED, to capture its self-heating induced by light energy absorption using infrared thermography. The agreement between thermo-optical simulation and IR thermography is fair, which reinforces the use of the model with an error lower than 10%.

Novel vibration control method of acoustic black hole plates using active–passive piezoelectric networks

In recent decades, many methods have been applied to vibration system damping and control, including acoustic black hole (ABH) structures and active–passive hybrid piezoelectric network(APPN) structures. This paper takes a two-dimensional ABH plate based on Kirchhoff plate theory as the research object, systematically researching the structure of the integration of APPN and ABH. Firstly, the vibration modes of the ABH plate are obtained by the finite element method. Then, Hamilton’s principle and the Rayleigh–Ritz method are used to derive the dynamic models. The open-loop and closed-loop control characteristics are analyzed, respectively. The results show that the ABH plates with active–passive piezoelectric networks perform better than those with active vibration control. Finally, the parameters (resistance and inductance) in APPN are optimized to obtain the best vibration control performance. The results show that the new system combined APPN and ABH firmly controls vibration and noise reduction.

PENINGKATAN LUAS PERMUKAAN KONVERTER RADIASI MATAHARI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN TEMPERATUR DAN DAYA LISTRIK YANG DIHASILKAN OLEH SISTEM GENERATOR TERMOLISTRIK

The development of the use of solar energy as a new renewable energy is being encouraged in various forms of its use, and one of them is the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module is a power generation system that utilizes temperature differences to produce electric power. The temperature difference can be obtained from solar radiation the metal will convert into heat energy, which will pass through the TEG and be discharged into the environment. The amount of solar radiation converted into heat depends on the area of ​​the converter. This research aim is to increase the surface area of ​​the solar converter to increase the temperature used in the TEG system to generate electric power. The areas used for capturing solar radiation are 0.06 m2, 0.12 m2 and 0.16 m2 which are made of black aluminum plates in a closed system. At the bottom of the aluminum are installed 7 thermoelectric modules connected to a water reservoir as a coolant. The results of the study showed that the highest temperatures that could be achieved were respectively 39.1, 52.5 and 61oC, and the temperature differences that could be achieved were respectively 9.1; 20.0 and 28 oC. A temperature difference of 7.1 oC produces an electric power of 64.2 mW, and a temperature difference of 28 oC produces an electric power of 282.8 mW.

Performance Comparison of Solar Air Heater with Extended Surfaces and Iron Filling

The thermal performance of a solar air heater (SAH) is enhanced by producing air turbulence. The air turbulence is created by using either extended surface or iron filing between the black colour absorber plate and glass of the SAH. In this article, the thermal performance of a SAH in the case of without fins and with fins at a different location is compared with the SAH using an iron filling. The value of the overall heat loss coefficient in the case of iron filling is 2.1 W/m2K. The average thermal efficiency of the iron filling condition is 65.14%. The additional arrangement to increase the heat transfer also increases the pressure drop which leads to higher power consumption. Results show the thermal efficiency of SAH using iron filling is found best followed by fin arrangement above, below the absorber plate, and without fin.

Utilization of Solar Energy for Water Heating Application to Improve Building Energy Efficiency: An Experimental Study

The manuscript is written for flow escalation based on an experimental data for a Solar Assisted Heat Pump Water Heater (SAHPWH) increasing building energy efficiency. For the investigation, a Solar Assisted Heat Pump (SAHP) was conceived, manufactured, and tested in real time. The findings of the experiments shows that single glazing with average sun radiation of 600–750 W/m2, COP of approx. 6 can be obtained with identical heat gains. This study shows that when a flat plate collector of area 1.83 m (L) × 1.22 m (W) × 0.1 m (T) with a 0.5-mm-thick black copper plate absorber with clear glazing as a cover receives average radiation of 700 W/m2, then setup can supply 60 litres of water for residential use from 15 °C to 45 °C in approx. 70 min. In addition, the study finds that the collector efficiency factor F’ is likewise shown to have a direct connection with the absorber and an inverse relationship of tube spacing. The findings indicated that the technology has significant commercial potential, particularly in sectors such as with solar resources for improving building energy efficiency.

The Origin of the Black Shale Series and Bentonites from the Wufeng Formation in the Southwestern Upper Yangtze: Implications for the Convergence of the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks in the Late Ordovician

AbstractEarly Paleozoic black organic sediments and bentonites occur widely in the craton basin within the Yangtze block and are generally believed to be genetically related to a specific tectonic setting on the cratonic boundary. However, the intimate relationship between their origins and the dynamic mechanisms are unclear, as exemplified by the genesis of the black shale series and bentonites from the Wufeng Formation during the Ordovician–Silurian transition (OST). In order to reveal the relationship between the Wufeng Formation and the convergence of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks (i.e., the intracontinental Kwangsian Orogeny), two stratigraphic sections respectively in Zhaotong area (Northeast Yunnan) and Puyi area (Northwestern Guizhou) that were located in the semi‐restricted inner Yangtze Sea during the OST were systematically studied, on the basis of whole‐rock geochemical composition, pyrite δ34S (δ34Spy), total organic carbon (TOC), stable Sr isotope, pyrite framboid size distribution and zircon U‐Pb age, trace elements. The evidence shows that the paleo‐oceanic environment changed significantly at the turn of the early–late Katian and formed the black shale series in the Wufeng Formation. These acritarch assemblages were formed in the transition process of the Upper Yangtze Basin from passive continental margin basin to foreland basin during this interval. Based on previous research on the genetic relationship between black shale series and plate tectonic movement, a basin‐mountain evolution model suitable for South China in the Late Ordovician is presented. The two bentonites in the Wufeng Formation with U‐Pb ages of 445.5 ± 0.8 Ma and 441.9 ± 2.4 Ma primarily originated from the intermediate–acid volcanic eruption during the collision and convergence between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in the Late Ordovician, the provenance region probably being located in the Jiangnan orogenic belt. Thus, we believe that the appearance of the black shale series and bentonite in the Wufeng Formation at the turn of the early–late Katian may represent the initiation of basin‐mountain transformation and the Kwangsian Orogeny in South China, which provides important evidence for the collision and convergence of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in the Late Ordovician.
