Experimental Study of Temperature Variation of a Solar Air Collector
Tassoult Houda, Haddad Brahim and Sellami Rabah
Unité de Développement des Equipements Solaires, UDES/Centre
Développement des Energies Renouvelables, CDER, Algeria
de
Abstract—Solar energy which is free and abundant in most parts of the world has
proven to be an economical source of energy in many applications. The energy that
the earth receives from the sun is so enormous and so lasting that the total energy
consumed annually by the entire world is supplied in as short a time as half an hour.
The sun is a clean and renewable energy source, which produces neither green-house
effect gas nor toxic waste through its utilization.
The development of solar air collectors has seen its growth during the oil crisis.
These sensors are generally used in space heating, particularly in the field of drying
food products. Our experimental work is the study of the variation of the
temperature of a solar air between the absorber and the working window with
natural convection and for drying of food products.
The measured temperatures of the absorber and the air at the outlet of the sensor
have been used to find the temperature profile. This study will be useful for a new
design of a photovoltaic-thermal hybrid solar panel in order to improve the electrical
performance extrairant heat at the absorber.

Energy Efficiency in Small and Medium Enterprises: Lessons Learned in 280
Energy Audits across Europe
Fabio Morea, Johannes Fresner, Christina Krenn, Juan Aranda Uson, Fabio
Tomasi
AREA Science Park, Italy
Abstract—This paper investigates the main factors influencing an energy auditing
procedure, leading to the adoption of energy efficiency measures by small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing suggestions both for enterprises and
energy policy makers. Our analysis is based on a sample of 280 SMEs from 7
European countries which participated in an international project devoted to
industrial energy efficiency. Lessons learned during the energy audits are
summarized in 8 key findings: (1) Energy Audits are a valuable activity for SMEs,
yet (2) not a viable option for consultancy on a commercial basis. The main
difficulties in carrying out an energy audit are (3) lack of data on energy
consumption, (4) information barriers and (5) other soft factors such as expectations
and previous experience. Economic factors (6) are significant barriers to energy
efficiency. Among the energy efficiency measures (7) behaviour and control are key
factors. Finally (8) an appropriate method for energy auditing is a key to success.

Conference Schedule
Aalto University, Finland
Abstract—The recoverable proven reserves of fossil fuel sources are projected to be
exhausted by the end of this century. In response to the exhaustion of fossil
resources, there is a serious need to find alternative fuel sources. Bioenergy is one of
the potential candidates to counteract the fossil-fuel depletion challenge. Despite
bioenergy sources appear to be renewable and net-zero GHG emitter, bioenergy
undergoes competition with food, feed and other crucial applications. Since earth’s
eco system has a limited capacity of land and water resources, overuse of these
resources in bioenergy production could cause adverse social and environmental
impacts. This paper summarizes the key sustainability issues involve in bioenergy
chain, and examine the potential role of bioenergy in dealing with these
sustainability issues. We found that bioenergy can be a sustainable source of energy
provided that it has maintained irrationality in using of natural resources and several
limits. In contrary, bioenergy would provoke further social and environmental
problems if the sustainability issues are not given proper consideration.

Evaluation of the Use of a Solar Source for Air Conditioning for Home in Algeria
Nor REBAH
University of Souk Ahras, Algeria
Abstract—Today's global environmental problems, such as global warming,
destruction of the ozone layer, degradation of air quality and their implications for
human health have become a major concern for the environment, residential areas as
well as our living conditions. Numerous research studies were devoted to address
these topics due to their crucial importance. The purpose of this study is to develop
and improve the bioclimatic architecture of residential housing according to the
Algerian energy policy. We have calculated the reduction of housing energy
consumption for air conditioning and hot water by replacing the system which is
based on fossil fuels (oil and gas) by the newly proposed architecture which is based
on renewable solar energy. This is being conducted for three different sites within
Algeria. We carried out an explorative economic comparison of the two systems.
Based on experimental results, the proposed system proved to be able to cover more
than 55% of the total electricity needs for air conditioning. Therefore, this shows the
potency of reducing the electricity utility bill up to a half with much better expected
results for southern regions of Algeria.

Experimental Studies on a Pendulor Wave Energy Extractor in a Wave Channel
Sumesh Narayan, Ashneel Deo, Niranjwan Chettiar and Jai Goundar
The University of the South Pacific, Fiji
Abstract—A Pendulor wave energy convertor was tested in a two-dimensional
Wave Channel, whichproduced sinusoidal waves, to study its performance at
different wave frequencies (varied from 0.5Hz to 1.0 Hz) and four different mean
water depths of 240 mm, 260 mm, 280 mm and 290 mm. Thewave parameters such
as wave height and the wave frequencies were measured for the available
wavechannel. It was found that the wave height increases while the wavelength
decreases with increasingwave frequency and water depth. The relationship of
pendulor paddle swing angle, rotational speed,torque and output power against wave
frequency were obtained and discussed in this paper. It isfound that the output power
is more when the paddle moves in the direction of wave propagation,compared to
the backstroke when the paddle is moving against the direction of wave propagation.

Mechanical properties of high-strength steel obtained using DIC for specimens with
a hole
Michaela Štamborská, Miroslav Kvíčala, Monika Losertová
VŠB – Technical university of Ostrava, Czech Republic
Abstract—This article is aimed at determining the mechanical properties of
high-strength steel obtained by digital image correlation for specimens with a hole in
different rolling direction. This geometry generates a heterogeneous strain field
which was measured during the test using a digital image correlation system. The
advantage of using a heterogeneous strain field in the identification procedure is that
a complex state of stress-strain can be analyzed at the same time and much more
information can be obtained in a single test. On the other hand, the stress field
cannot be directly computed from the test and a suitable identification procedure
must be developed. Here, the virtual fields method (VFM) adapted for large strains
and plasticity was used to identify the hardening behaviour and the anisotropy of the
material. The values obtained with the VFM were compared with the results from a
standard identification made using uniaxial tensile tests.

A Computational Chemistry Approach for Investigation of Low Friction
Mechanisms based on FEP Film with Functionalized SiO2 Nanoparticles
Yusuke Morita, Marleen De Weser and Gerhard Schottner
Toyota Motor Europe, Belgium
Abstract—To improve the fuel efficiency of automobile internal combustion
engines, we investigated the fundamental mechanism of friction reduction within
engine moving parts. A new coating was designed by introducing SiO2 nanoparticles
in FEP film. The SiO2 nanoparticles were functionalized with hydrophobic
fluoroalkyl units on their surface to create additional low friction property. Universal
Surface Tester friction measurements revealed a significant reduction of the friction
coefficient with increasing number of hydrophobic fluoroalkyl units for SiO2
surface functionalization. To clarify the friction reduction mechanisms by the
functionalization of SiO2 nanoparticles, a quantum chemical calculation was carried
out. The result indicates that an attractive force occurs between nanoparticle Si
atoms and polymer F atoms, while by adding fluoroalkyl units on the SiO2
nanoparticle surface, this force changes to repulsive. By performing a molecular
dynamics simulation of a shear model between FEP film and SiO2 nanoparticles, we
observed a decrease of friction force with increasing fluoroalkyl units which lead
smooth rolling motion of nanoparticles, thus confirming the repulsive effect of
nanoparticle functionalization. We conclude that fluoroalkyl units on the SiO2
surface play an important role in creating a repulsive force between nanoparticle and
FEP film which lead to low friction coefficienty.

Effect of martensite morphology and Mn partitioning on mechanical properties of
low carbon dual phase steels
Manoranjan Kumar Manoj, V Pancholi and S K Nath
National Institute of Technology, Raipur, India
Abstract—Dual phase (DP) steels have been developed from normalized plain low
carbon steel containing 0.14wt % carbon. Intercritical austenitisation (ICA)
treatment was carried out at 740oC, 760oC, 780oC and 800oC followed by water
quenching. Duration of ICA treatment was varied from 1 to 15 minutes. Different
martensite volume fractions (MVFs) ranging from 17.3% to 63.7% have been found
in these DP steels. Two different morphologies of martensite have been obtained in
these DP steels. First one is networking of martesnite along prior austenite grain
boundaries and secondly, formation of islands of martensite primarily at triple
junction of grain boundaries. Further, during ICA treatment, alloying element (Mn)
redistributed itself between ferrite and austenite depending upon ICA temperature
and time. Networking of martensite has been found to increase strength considerably
and hardness marginally but decreased ductility. On the other hand, it has been
found that Mn present as solid solution provide better mechanical properties
compared to accumulation at grain boundaries.

Quantitative Evaluation of Voids in Lead Free Solder Joints
Sabuj Mallik, Jude Njoku and Gabriel Takyi
University of Greenwich, United Kingdom
Abstract—Voiding in solder joints poses a serious reliability concern for electronic
products. The aim of this research was to quantify the void formation in lead-free
solder joints through X-ray inspections. Experiments were designed to investigate
how void formation is affected by solder bump size and shape, differences in reflow
time and temperature, and differences in solder paste formulation. Four different
lead-free solder paste samples were used to produce solder bumps on a number of
test boards, using surface mount reflow soldering process. Using an advanced X-ray
inspection system void percentages were measured for three different size and shape
solder bumps. Results indicate that the voiding in solder joint is strongly influenced
by solder bump size and shape, with voids found to have increased when bump size
decreased. A longer soaking period during reflow stage has negatively affected
solder voids. Voiding was also accelerated with smaller solder particles in solder
paste.

A Phenomenological Predictive Model for Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue of Notched
Type 304 Stainless Steel
Justin Karl, Andrew Copeland, Amy Besio
University of Central Florida, USA
Abstract—The behavior of parts subjected to simultaneous thermal and mechanical
fatigue loads is an area of research that carries great significance in the power
generation, petrochemical, and aerospace industries. Machinery with expensive
components undergo varying applications of force while exposed to variable
temperature working fluids. An example case is found in steam turbines, which
subject stainless steel blades to cyclic loads from rotation as well as the passing of
heated gases. Accurate service life prediction is especially challenging due to the
thermo-mechanical loading being present on the complex geometric profile of the
blades. This research puts forth a method for determining crack initiation lifetimes
in variably-notched type 304 austenitic stainless steel specimens subjected to
differing fatigue and thermo-mechanical fatigue conditions. A base analytical
model and genetic algorithm were used to develop phenomenology-informed
predictions that fall within a factor of two of the actual crack initiation times.

reason why the requirement for new generation of filtration materials is rising up.
The research was focused on the development of nanofibrous filters that have a great
precondition to be used as filters for respirators. The filtering material was designed
as a multilayer sandwich consisting of spundbound, meltblown and nanofibrous
layers. For the evaluation of final properties and filtering performances different 3D
structures were also created.

order to determine the total pressure losses in the Inter - Turbine Duct of a two spools gas
turbine, as a function of the gas turbine operating regime (mass flow rate) and rotational
speed. The Inter - Turbine Duct experimental assembly has been designed, manufactured
and tested at COMOTI. The total pressures were measured as a function of the
pre-swirling angle, which simulates the influence of the high pressure turbine rotational
speed located upstream of the Inter turbine duct in the real gas turbine, as well as for
three operational regimes, without the pre-swirlers modules. The results indicate that the
total pressure loss along the Inter - Turbine Duct is of maximum 0.9 %. The lowest
overall total pressure loss occurs at 0ºpre-swirling angle, around 0.8%, while along the
ITD struts, the lowest pressure loss is obtained for a 15ºpre-swirling, below 0.1%. The
influence of the operating regime on the total pressure loss was found to be linearly, the
pressure loss increasing with the reduced mass flow rate, between 1% and 1.9% overall,
and between about 0.1% and 0.4 % along the struts.

Abstract—The link power improvement in a coarse wavelength division multiplexing
(CWDM) system which is transmitted using a hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifier
(EDFA) and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) scheme as in-line amplifiers, is
discussed. The network is designed for amplifying 8 CWDM channels ranging from 1471
nm to 1611 nm. The hybrid amplifiers’ gain measurement is obtained from experimental
work with gain peak at 22 dB which is observed at 1531 nm. The amplifiers also caused
power increment of 5.06 dB in the transmission link before the signal is split individually
at the receiving end. Based on the higher gain peaks and power spectrum at 1531 nm and
1551 nm wavelengths, the proposed amplified link would be useful for the transmission
of video applications.

Abstract—Transformer bushing plays important role in the reliability of power system,
especially the bushing of interbus transformer which interconnected between two
different voltage levels thus enable the power interchange between these two voltage
systems. Failure in the bushings, either in the primary or secondary or tertiary windings
of a 500/150/66 kV interbus transformer will instantly lead to the power interruption and
outage in the consumer sides. Normally, interbus transformers are constructed of three
windings with the primary and secondary winding are connected in wye and the tertiary
is connected delta. The primary and the secondary windings are loaded, and sometimes
tertiary winding is loaded, but mostly not loaded. The main purpose of the tertiary
17

winding is to provide the isolating system due to the unbalance from the other two
windings. The windings of interbus transformer and the power system is linked via a
bushing.
Improper operating voltage of power system above the nominal voltage of the bushing
tends to reduce the operating cycle of bushings. The displacement of absolute reference
of voltage from phase to phase voltage thus will raise the operating voltage applied to the
bushing which exceeds the nominal voltage of bushings. Theoretically, applying
operating voltage of 1.571 x U0 to the tertiary bushing continuously is likely to reduce
the life time of bushing to approximately 2.5 years.
Online monitoring techniques to observe the diagnostic parameters of bushing could be
occupied to monitor the changes in the bushings which due to the degradation of
insulation quality. Literature study focusing on the ideal condition of a bushing against
the real loading cycle of bushing in operation also considered to estimate the bushing
insulation degradation mechanism. This study put more efforts in analyzing the bushing
condition as the function of loading pattern and the applied voltage experienced by the
bushing. Several measurement data of bushing online monitoring are attached as well to
describe the occurrences inside the bushing. At the end of this study, options on the
protection scheme are described with either directly earthed or floating analysis.

Providing Security of Vital Data for Conventional MicrocontrollerApplications
Bayram AKEMİR and Hasan ÜZÜLMEZ
Selcuk University, Turkey
Abstract—Microcontrollers are widely used in industrial world, and almost all kind of
devices were based on microcontroller to achieve high flexibility and abilities. All
microcontrollers have nonvolatile and volatile memories to execute the software. During
the running, microcontroller calculates many variables and records them to any
non-volatile memory to use later. After re-energizing, microcontroller takes the data
calculated before the power off and executes the program. In case of any electrical
writing error or any power loss during the writing procedure, un-written memory blocks
or any un-written data leads to malfunctions. Proposed method uses a gray code based
signed two memory blocks to secure the memory reserved for data. Microcontroller uses
these memory blocks in alternately. Even if microcontroller has no any real-time ability,
gray code provides a guarantee which block is written in last. For every re-starting
microcontroller dos not lose the data. In case of any reading problem during the starting,
microcontroller has two chances to decide the action. One is to start with default values
and the other is to start with the previous data. This study is offered in elevator
application not to lose position and vital values.

An Approach to Optimum Route and Site Selection of a Steam Gathering System for
Geothermal Power Plants using Multiple Weight Distance Transform
Magnus Thor Jonsson
University of Iceland, Iceland
Abstract—This article proposes a new approach to select the location for separators and
routes for two phase flow pipelines in a geothermal steam gathering system. Multiple
weight distance transform is presented and used to find the optimum location of site for a
steam separator based on the flow capacity of geothermal wells. The routes are
monotonic and the incline is slight in order to minimize the pressure drop and the slug
flow conditions in the pipeline. A map with weighted distance for five wells shows the
accessible area and the route from each well is calculated. The optimum site location
reduces the total pipe length from all wells by 9%.

Cost Effective Maintenance of Wind Turbines Using Finite State Markov Model
Lahcene Boukelkoul
Electrical Engineering Dpt University of 20th Aug 1955 Skikda Algeria
Abstract—Nowadays the cost effectiveness concept becomes a decision-making and
technology evaluation metric. The cost of energy metric accounts for the effect of
reliability through levelized replacement cost and unscheduled maintenance cost
parameters. One key of the proposed approach is the idea of maintaining the WTs which
can be captured via use of a finite state Markov chain. Such a model can be embedded
within a probabilistic operation and maintenance simulation reflecting the action to be
done. In this paper a finite state Markov model is used for decision problems with
number of determined periods (life cycle) to predict the cost according to the option of
the maintenance adopted. The minimum cost is taken as the optimal solution.

Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia, Malaysia
Abstract—This paper is presents numerical simulation of isothermal swirling turbulent
flows in a combustion chamber of an unconfined burner. Isothermal flows of with three
different swirl numbers, SN of axial swirler are considered to demonstrate the effect of
flow axial velocity and tangential velocity to define the center recirculation zone. The
swirler is used in the burner that significantly influences the flow pattern inside the
combustion chamber. The inlet velocity, U0 is 30 m/s entering into the burner through
the axial swirler that represents a high Reynolds number, Re to evaluate the differences
of SN. The significance of center recirculation zone investigation affected by differences
Re also has been carried out in order to define a good mixing of air and fuel. A numerical
study of non-reacting flow into the burner region is performed using ANSYS Fluent. The
Reynolds–Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) realizable k-ε turbulence approach method
was applied with the eddy dissipation model. An attention is focused in the flow field
behind the axial swirler downstream that determined by transverse flow field at different
radial distance. The results of axial and tangential velocity were normalized with the U0.
There are also studied the effect of difference inlet velocity from 30 m/s to 60 m/s to the
axial velocity flow. The velocity profiles’ behaviour are obviously changes after existing
the swirler up to x/D = 0.3 plane. However, their flow patterns are similar for all SN after
x/D = 0.3 plane towards the outlet of a burner.

Wind energy can contribute significantly towards renewable energy production. A
functional wind turbine built locally proposes a huge impact for Fiji and the Pacific
Islands renewable energy industry. The design has to take into consideration the wind

Determination of the Gel-Fluid Phase Transition Temperature of Single Supported
Phospholipid Bilayers using QCM-D: Fundamentals and Applications
Andreas Wargenau and Nathalie Tufenkji
McGill University, Canada
Abstract—Supported phospholid bilayers (SPBs) have been demonstrated as valuable
experimental models for fundamental studies of biomembranes and their interactions
with various solutes, biomolecules and nanoparticles.
Herein, we report a novel method to detect the temperature-induced gel-fluid phase
transitions of single SPBs using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation
monitoring (QCM-D). The proposed approach, which utilizes viscosity changes of the
ambient medium to determine the temperature in the immediate environment of the SPB,
enables the determination of the gel-fluid phase transition temperature with a precision of
± 0.1 °C. As transition temperatures obtained in this manner do not depend on the
temperature scan rate, the method also facilitates systematic evaluation of the transition
kinetics. The precise determination of both the transition temperature and the transition
time not only allows for fundamental studies on the transition behavior of these particular
bilayers, but also opens up new possibilities in the development of biosensing tools.
Possible applications including the detection of bilayer interactions with nanoparticles
and membrane soluble compounds are discussed based on various examples.

Abstract—This work involves the synthesis of carbon nanotube-quicklime
nanocomposites(CQNs) via the CVD technique of n-hexane using Co metal catalysts
supported on CaO obtained from local carbonate stones. The CVD process was
conducted at temperatures between 600°C and 900°C. XRD results show that at
temperatures higher than 700°C, peaks attributable to CNTs are present. As the
composition of the catalysts is changed, it was shown that the catalyst composition of 10,
15 and 20wt% Co exhibit peaks that are attributable to CNTs the sample obtained using
when Co/CaO (20wt%) catalyst giving the highest XRD peak intensity. Transmission
electron microscopy of the CQNs confirmed the existence of nanotube morphology in the
samples. Raman spectroscopy of the CQNs samples show that CQNs synthesized using
20wt% Co gave the highest IG/ID ratio (2.169) indicating a highest degree of
graphitization. Incorporation of the CaO from carbonate stones in this type of CNT

(1 and 2) and the film thickness (d), were determined. Gap values between 1.2 and 1.7
eV were obtained for compound when the mass (MX) of ZnSe was varied during the
deposition stage. Inhomogeneity and high surface roughness were observed by SEM
measurements for all samples. Size grain varying between 458.16 and 630.28 nm were
obtained while the ZnSe binary mass varied from 0.171 to 0.153 g. Refractive index and
extinction coefficient of Cu2ZnSnSe4 films were obtained for λ = 800 nm. A decrease of

Abstract—This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nanoclay on hardness,
pull off and blistering effect of polyester based coating. Polyester coat, nanoclay and
hardener (MEKP) were mixed and mechanically stirred for one hour at ambient
temperature at a shear rate of 1000 rpm. Prepared coating was then applied on
the surface of plywood for the characterization of the hardness and pull off
strength and for the observation of blistering effect towards sea and distilled water. As a
result, 6% nanoclay loading gives better hardness strength which is 65% increment from
unmodified polyester. However, the pull off strength shows that 2% of nanoclay loading
gives higher strength among others with 114% increment compared to unmodified
polyester coating. Blister was mostly observed at samples without nanoclay loading for
both sea water and distilled water. While the less blistering effect was present at 2%
nanoclay loading for sea water and 4% nanoclay loading for distilled water. The presence
of nanoclay within the coating improves its bonding ability and the decreasing the micro
space within the polymer. Blistering effect for highest and lowest frequency was observed
by electron scanning microscope (SEM).

Improved Dna Immobilization and Binding Efficiency on Novel Carboxylic Acid
Surfaces
Milena Rowinska
Dublin City University, Ireland
Abstract—A new methodfor the fabrication of carboxylic acidgroups on solid supports is
reported. The carboxylic acid functional layer is obtained by spin-coating dissolved
polymethmethacrylate (PMMA)onto an underlying solid substrate (e.g. plastic, glass,
gold) and oxidizing it with either UV light-ozone (UV/O3) or oxygen plasma. The
thickness of the spin-coated layer can be as low as 5nm, and can be controlled by
manipulation of PMMA concentration, spin time and spin speed.This surface can be
applied in fabricationof surface arrays of ssDNA (single-stranded DNA)and point-of-care
devices, which are at the center of some of the most active areas in biological research.
A well-known approach applied by many researchers for producing microarrays is to
modify the DNA oligomers with a functional group that allows covalent attachment to a
reactive group on the surface. 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)
was used as linker and amino-modified ssDNA probe. EDC reacts with the carboxylic
acid surface to form an o-acrylisourea intermediate, which subsequently reacts with an
amine-terminated ssDNA oligomer to form amide bonds. However, during
immobilization experiments, it was observed that the ssDNA probe binds not only via its
modified terminus but also by its nucleobases. We show that DNA has the ability to
anchor itself via the amine groups present in the backbone (BB) nucleobases (Adenine,
Guanine, Cytosine) and that this bindingnegativelyaffects hybridization efficiency during
subsequent hybridization assays. In order to improve hybridization efficacy, click
chemistry (CC), was demonstrated as a bio-orthogonal and highly specific alternative,
which does not promote binding of probe to the surface via multiple anchoring points on
the backbone. Both immobilization techniques were compared and direct hybridization
experiments with short ssDNAoligomerswere performed. It was found that hybridization
efficiency is 40% higher for CCthan for EDC linking at room temperature. To conclude,
PMMA is a versatile substrate suitable for DNA microarrays. CC immobilization is more
suited and specific, can be performed at room temperature and results in higher
hybridization efficacy when compared to EDC linking chemistry.

HDPE/graphene/Ag composites were fabricated using melt mixing method. The
composite thin films were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, DSC, and four point probe
techniques. For comparison, HDPE/graphene composites were also prepared by similar
method. Electrical resistance measurements reveal that the HDPE/graphene/Ag
composite layers in comparison with HDPE/graphene show lower percolation threshold
(1.8 vol.% vs. 2.2 vol.% of conducting phase) and very higher maximum electrical
conductivity (1.0×10−3 S/cm vs. 1.0×10−7 S/cm) at 7.8 vol.% of the conducting phase
loading. Changes in crystallinity percent and melting temperature of the composite
samples were studied by DSC technique. It was recognized that the crystallinity and
melting temperature of composite samples containing graphene/Ag is more dependent in
conductive phase content than HDPE/graphene composite films. 10 C increase of
melting temperature in HDPE/graphene/Ag samples by 10 wt% loading of conducting
phase is indicating the increase of crystallinity and then density of the samples. XRD
results indicated that the size of crystallites and distance between crystal plates are
constant.

Abstract—Super-resolution light microscopy techniques such asphotoactivated
localization microscopy (PALM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy
(STORM) can break the diffraction limit and achieve a resolution of tens of nanometres.1,
2
Fundamentally, both techniques rely on the temporal separation of fluorescence
emission of those individual fluorophores in the specimen so that the size of the point
spread function (PSF) can be reduced, leading to a nanometre-sized localization
precision.As originally introduced, PALM uses photoconvertable and photoactivatable
fluorescent proteins while STORM, utilizes reversible photoswitching of specially paired
organic fluorophores.As biomolecules such as peptides and proteins are usually up to
several nanometres, it is, in principle, possible to localize single molecules by this
technique.
Indium tin oxide coated glass substrates (ITO) werechosen in this research because
well-designed chemical modification can be achievedon the ITO surface. It was

Studying Properties of RNA Nanotubes via Molecular Dynamics
Roderick Melnik and Shyam Badu
Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
Abstract—RNA molecules are very flexible in nature. This feature allows us to build
various motifs which are essential in bio-nanotechnological applications. Based on the
previous studies on RNA nanorings, in this contribution we analyze the structure and
properties of RNA nanotubes, where we focus on nanotubes consisting of up to five
nanorings of around 20nm in diameter. We have developed a molecular dynamics (MD)
method and implemented it by using the NAMD and VMD packages to study the
structural and thermal properties of the nanotube in physiological solutions. In particular,
we have analyzed such characteristics as the Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD), the
radius of gyration, the number of hydrogen bonds per base pairs, and the radial
distribution function for the different nanoclusters in nanotubes of various sizes. The
variations of energy and temperature with simulation time have been studied for all sets
of simulations. Variations in RMSD, radius of gyration and the radial distribution
function with temperature have been analyzed in detail. Furthermore, the number of
23Na+ions around the nanotubes within the distance of 5A at two different temperatures
has also been studied. It has been found that the number of ions accumulated around the
nanotubes within the specified distance is growing with increase in temperature from
310K to 510K. The final configurations of the systems simulated at 510K have been
considered as the starting point for further MD simulations at 310K. We confirmed the
process of ion evaporation with temperature decrease. This is due to the phenomenon of
self-stabilization.

Abstract—Dielectric elastomer (DE) is gaining importance for potential strategic and
commercial application as actuators. This paper reports the experimental investigation on
different mechanical phenomena at large deformation of a commercially available acrylic
dielectric elastomer material, VHB 4910 (3M) which is widely used for dielectric
elastomer actuator (DEA) research. Attempts are made for accurate and precise
experimental determination of nonlinear stress-strain, strain rate dependent hysteresis
behaviour and cyclic softening of this material. It is observed that with the increase in
strain rate maximum stress at a particular strain increases whereas hysteresis loss
decreases. In the cyclic loading case after a particular number of cycles almost the
hysteresis loss and maximum stress becomes constant. These experimental results are
likely to be interesting for the designers for proper designing and characterization of the
actuators fabricated with this material.

Abstract—These days turning process is required to more accurate and efficientin

develop effective machining strategies. In this study, an experimental investigation was
conducted to determine the effects of cutting speeds and feed rates on surface roughness
in turning of the Al %11Siand Al-11%Si- 1% Bidie cast alloys. Experimental trials
carried out using coated carbide inserts (PVD). Three different cutting speeds, 70, 130
and 250 m/min and three feed rates 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 mm/rev were used with a 0.15 mm
constant depth of cut for all experiments. Additionally scanning electron microscope

Conference Schedule
were performed in a line that passes through the weld bead and extends to the base metal
from both sides of the weld. The heat affected zone was characterized by a pattern in
the peak height as a function of distance from the weld bead. Barkhausen noise profile
analysis by extracting relevant parameters like peak position, profile area and profile half
width was also performed. The result showed a clear variation in MBN profile
parameters in a way similar to that of the profile peak height. It could be concluded that
MBN profile parameters superimposed as a function of measurement distance from the
weld bead may provide an accurate determination of the affected material near the weld
bead. The variation in MBN profile parameters was enhanced by microstructural and
mechanical changes along the measurement line. This experiment demonstrates that
the Barkhausen noise profile parameters could be used to track various manufacturing
and maintenance processes of steel instead of using a single parameter like the root mean
square (rms) to eliminate the variability of results and narrow the tolerance of acceptance
criterion.

The Mechanical Response for Metallic Closed-Cell Foam at High-Strain Rates
Charles E. Lord, Zhen Huang
University of Sheffield, UK
Abstract—As the trend for lighter more efficient structures continues, the requirement
for alternative materials follows. One material that has gained attention more recently is
porous metallic foam. One drawback to these materials is that there is limited pedigree
and understanding of their performance. As with all materials, the use of metallic foam
for structures requires knowledge of its mechanical properties; including at high-strain
rates. The focus of this paper is to determine the compressive mechanical properties and
the influencing parameters for AISI 4340 steel closed-cell foam under high-strain rates
(776s-1 to 3007s-1). ANSYS commercial finite element code is used to simulate a
closed-cell sample under a split Hopkinson pressure bar test. In this paper the pores are
considered to be spherical in shape for simplification while various parameters such as
the pore size, the number of pores, the distribution of pores, and the strain rate are varied.
Each of these parameters gives this material a unique response which is presented in this
paper.

Maximum PV Penetration Capacity Evaluation of a Novel Method for Determining LDC

Waseda University, Japan
Abstract—This paper presents a new method for determining the load drop compensator
(LDC) parameters of a load ratio transformer (LRT) and step voltage regulator (SVR)
used in an electrical power distribution system. Because the voltage control effect
produced by an LRT and SVR depends on the combination of their respective LDC
parameters, these should be determined properly in order to control voltage within a
proper range. Introduction of photovoltaic generation systems into a distribution system
makes voltage control difficult and causes the optimal parameters to vary between dayand nighttime. In the proposed method, the parameters are reset every hour based on a
database of all feasible parameters during every hour in the past. Simulation results in
which the maximum PV penetration capacity of the proposed method is compared with
that of a centralized control method are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed

processed using cubic spline interpolation in sea bed logging (SBL) application.
Simulations were conducted using CST software that replicated real SBL environment to
generate synthetic data. Frequency of 0.25Hz was used and sediment thicknesses were
varied from 1000m to 3000m and incremented at every 250m. Data collected were
interpolated using cubic spline and NMSE were calculated between original and
interpolated data. Mathematical equation that relates NMSE (y) and depth of
hydrocarbon (x) was constructed in terms of linear, exponential, logarithm and
polynomial degree 2, 3, 4 and R2 were calculated for each equation. Mathematical
equation using exponential function was adopted because it has reasonably high R2 and
can be inversed easily. Average percentage error was calculated between calculated and
measured data to achieve 5 % or lower values. If achievable, this model was accepted as
forward mathematical model for SBL. Otherwise, the coefficients were adjusted and the

Abstract—Curcumin diethyl disuccinate (CDD)is a succinate prodrug of curcumin that
hasbetter anti-colon cancer and antinociceptive activities than curcumin and improved
stability in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. However, formulation of CDD for pharmaceutical
use is limited. Therefore, this study focused on preparation of chitosan/alginate
nanoparticles containing CDD and optimization of the formulation using response surface
methodology. Chitosan/alginate nanoparticles were prepared by o/w emulsification and
ionotropicgelification. The optimized formulation of nanoparticles containing CDD had
achitosan/alginate mass ratio of 0.05:1, a CDD concentration of 3 mg/ml, and a Tween

Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia
Abstract—This work presents a study the structural characterization of Cu2ZnSnSe4
(CZTSe) thin films by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microdiffraction (XRMD)
measurements. Samples were deposited varying both mass (MX) and substrate
temperature (TS) at which the Cu and ZnSe composites were evaporated. CZTSe samples
were deposited by co-evaporation method in three stages. From X-ray diffraction (XRD)
measurements, it was possible to establish, with increased Ts, the presence of binary
phases associated to the quaternary composite during the material’s growth process. A
stannite-type structure in Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin films and sizes of the crystallites varying
between 30 and 40 nm, were obtained. X-ray microdiffraction was used to investigate
interface orientations and strain distributions when were varied deposition parameters. It
was found that around the main peak, 2ϴ = 27.1°, the Cu1.8Se and ZnSe binary phases
predominate, which are formed during the subsequent material selenization stage. A
Raman spectroscopy study revealed Raman shifts associated to the binary composites
observed via XRD.

Abstract—Highly-ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by electrochemical
anodizing, using titanium foils as the anode and cathode and changing the amount of
fluoride (NH4F) in the solution. The effect of synthesis parameters, such as, ethylene
glycol solutions containing different amounts of water, NH4F, anodizing voltage, and
current density were studied on the optical and morphological properties. It was observed
from XRD espectra, that Anatase and Rutile phases were influenced by annealing,
between 300 and 723 K, for all the samples, while morphological changes were not
observed. Nanotubes diameters varying beteween 20 and 50 nm with diferent length sizes
were observed from SEM micrographics. A high absorption for the UV region and a gap
band round of 3.1 eV were obtained from spectrophotometry measurements. The
correlation between the synthesis parameters and the optical properties presented are an

Abstract—Engineering, stability and orientation of semiconducting molecules are
necessary to achieve the high efficiency of multifunctional organic-based devices. Several
conjugated molecules facilitate the use of external magnetic fields to tailor both their
molecular orientation and electronic properties while being processed for bio or
opto-electronic applications. In this work, molecular thin films of vanadylphthalocynine
(VOPc) layers forming conducting channels in organic field-effect transistors were
investigated. Three systems based on 100 nm thick VOPc thin film were grown, one in
absence of magnetic field, while the other two with parallel and perpendicular to the
substrate plane, respectively. Devices were ex-situ investigated by electrical

Abstract—Herein we report a rapid and sensitive surface Plasmon resonance (SPR)
biosensor to detect progesterone (P4), a model analyte of small molecules. A terthiophene
scaffold with an oligoethylene glycol (OEG) linker is used as an anchor for the
P4-ovalbumin (OVA) immobilization on gold to form a stable, regenerable SPR surface.
Subsequently, inhibition SPR immunoassays based on this terthiophene/OVA-P4 surface
have demonstrated that P4 limit of detection (LOD) in buffer solution was 0.13 ng ml-1.
Due to the rapidity of each measurement (less than 5 min per measurement), and the high
sensitivity of the assay, we believe the sensing platform may hold great potential for P4
detections

Temperature Induced Plasmon Shift of Quantum Particles
Mufei Xiao
CNYN-UNAM, Mexico
Abstract—It is of recent interest to study plasmonics of metallic particles that are so
small that carriers in the conduction band are separated at discrete subbands due to
quantum confinement. These small metallic particles are referred as quantum particles in
the present work. The modifications of the plasmons of the quantum particles are studied
with an every-electron-count computational scheme. The quantum size effects are
incorporated into classic descriptions of small particle plasmons with the emphasis on
intra-subband fluctuations caused by the quantum confinement. The carrier redistribution
at the subbands is related to the operational temperature via Fermi-Dirac expression.
Numerical results have shown that both the frequency and the strength of the plasmons
are modified as a function of the particle size and the operational temperature. The
discovery suggests that potential applications to tune the plasmonics of quantum particles
externally would be possible. The environment temperature can be conveniently
controlled by light, electricity, or other means.

and stiffness due to wear and tear of articular cartilage and has limited self repair
capacity due to its avascular and aneural nature. Nanotherapeutics use nanomaterials for
various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics and biosensors. This
work focuses on the use of gold nanoparticles for enhancing the delivery of chondroitin
sulphate (CS)-a drug used in the treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA). CS has already shown
many benefits in treating osteoarthritis. Gold nanoparticles were synthesized and
combined with CS. Gold nanoparticles were characterized by Transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), XRD analysis. Further invitro analyses of this combination of Gold
nanoparticles with CS (AuNp-CS)on primary goat chondrocytes were done by various
assays like MTT, Hoescht staining, Glycosaminoglycan and collagen studies. Cell
viability studies by MTT revealed that Gold nanoparticles –CS (AuNp-CS) stimulated
cell proliferation. There was increase in cell viability observed by Gold nanoparticles-CS
than Native CS at same concentration. Similar Results were also observed with GAG and
Collagen assay. There was 2.18 and 2.05 fold increase observed in GAG and collagen
production when gold nanoparticles–CS(AuNp-CS) was added in combination than
native CS. So this study shows that this combination of gold nanoparticles-CS stimulates
chondrocyte proliferation and enhances Extracellular matrix production (ECM). Thus
giving us the insight for the applicability of gold nanoparticles as a carrier for
osteoarthritic drug CS which can hold potential for treatment of disease.

Silver Nanoparticles and Luminescent Silver Nanodots under Oxidative Stress
Junhua Yu
Seoul National University, South Korea
Abstract—Silver nanodots consisting of a few silver atoms are becoming excellent
fluorophores thanks to their small size, high brightness and excellent photostability.
Initially, such clusters were prepared in noble gas matrices due to their vulnerability to
oxidization. New protection groups has improved their stability in aqueous solution,
leading to the synthesis of a series of spectrally-pure silver nanodots with emissions
ranging from the blue to the near-IR. The exact structures of various silver nanodots
remain unclear. We examined the photo-responses of various silver nanodots in oxidizing
environments. Oxidants bleaches most of nanodot emitters, but only the red and near-IR
emitters correlates with the formation of an oxidant-resistant blue emitter. The HPLC-MS
indicates that the blue is an oxidized species. Based on such a unique phenomenon, we
have demonstrated the advantage of the blue emitter as an imaging agent in oxidizing
environments and designed ratiometric luminescence probes for the ultralow
concentration detection. We also investigated the generation of silver nanodots by etching
silver nanoparticles. The addition of chelating agents, such as polyamines or ssDNA
molecules, accelerates the degradation of large silver nanoparticles to a stable stage of
silver nanoparticles, which might be critical to the generation of emissive silver
nanodots. The etching process is strongly pH dependent, and the binding between silver
and the etching groups is crucial for efficient etching. The active centres are especially
important for the formation of silver nanodots. We have shown that etching of silver
nanoparticles can be an alternative to generate new silver nanodot emitters.

Abstract—Hybrid power system presented in this work focuses on the combination of
wind, solar,and energy storing systems for sustainable power generation. The output
power of wind turbine isonly available under a specific speed or higher. The solar
energy varies hourly, daily and seasonallywhich depends on variation of
solarirradiation. A generator-set with a battery bank can beintegrated with the wind and
PV-system to ensure the continuity of power supply for all conditions.The paper aims
to model and simulate the transient and steady state behavior of a Solar-Windhybrid
power generation system together with energy storage bank. Besides, a supervisory
powerflow controller has been developed which determines a power source that is
selected to operate inorder to satisfy the load demand taking into account the sun
irradiance and the wind speed. Theenergy storage bank may be used to store an excess
of power from the renewable energy system(RES) that will be used when there is
insufficient supplied power. If either the available power fromthe wind turbine or from
the solar panels or both of them cannot satisfy the load demand thegenerator set system
will be used to satisfy the load demand. The functionality of the presentedHybrid Power
System has been successfully designed and simulated using Matlab/Simulink tool.

Abstract—Titanium Dioxide is an important material that is used in many industrial
applications such as photo-catalysis, glass-defogging, self-cleaning, waste water
purification and anti-bacterial sterilization. The strong photo-catalysis of TiO2, and
therefore its ability to decompose dirt and organic contaminants makes it an excellent
top-protective layer candidate for CSP reflectors. The aim of this study consists of the
46
Conference Schedule
deposition of a transparent and hydrophilic TiO2 layer on top of the Concentrated Solar
Power (CSP) mirrors without altering their specular reflectance. The strong
photo-catalysis and hydrophilicity of TiO2 will decompose the dirt and organic matter
on the surface of the mirrors, which would be cleaned away from the reflectors’ surface
by rain, therefore minimizing the use of water for cleaning the CSP mirrors.
In this study, polycrystalline anatase TiO2 layers were deposited on glass substrates
with different thicknesses. The contact angle measurements show that the
hydrophilicity of TiO2 increases with increasing surface roughness, with Water Contact
Angle (WCA) of 52°and 30°for 48 nm and 100 nm, respectively. Super-hydrophilicity
(WCA < 5°) was achieved for thicker TiO2 layers, with WCA of 8°and 1°for 177 nm
and 220 nm, respectively. The deposition of a 48 nm-thick TiO2 layer on glass showed
a high transmittance in the visible and Near Infrared (NIR) range (75%), whereas the
transmission decreased with increasing thicknesses of TiO2. Therefore, a TiO2 layer of
48 nm thickness is suggested in this study as a hydrophilic top-protective layer since it
preserved the specular reflectance of the mirrors (97.5%) in the NIR range, compared to
98.6% without the TiO2 layer.

Low Cost Treatment for Remediation Coal Mining Water using Shrimp Shell in Natura,
aiming to Obtain Water that Enable the Reuse for Secondary Non-potable Purposes
Dámaris Núñez Gómez, María Ángeles Lobo-Récio and Flávio Rubens Lapolli
UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE SANTA CATARINA – UFSC, BRAZIL
Abstract—The acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most serious problems of
mining on an international level, with high negative impacts on hydric courses and
water life. The main characteristics of AMD are low pH and high sulfate and different
metals ions (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, Al, Cr, Mn, Mg, etc.) concentration, many of
which demonstrate to be toxics for the ecosystems, and, in last case, to the health and
quality of human life. The objective of this research was study the potential of the
shrimp shell in natura for removal of metals and acids present in mine impacted waters
(MIW), aiming to obtain, after treatment, water within legal standards that enable its
reuse for secondary non-potable purposes. The waters studied came from the coalfield
of state of Santa Catarina (Brazil), with pH around 3, and high levels of Al, Fe, Mn and
48
Conference Schedule
SO42-. Shrimp shell is rich in chitin, able to remove metal ions via adsorption
mechanisms, and in calcium carbonate, able to neutralize the acidity of the impacted
water. Preliminary trials were performed in batches to analyze the influence of the pH
in relation to the quantity of substratum/ water volume, the time of contact and the
agitation velocity in the remediation of MIW. The results show that the elevation of the
pH of the samples was higher with the shrimp shells rather than with the commercial
chitin. A factorial approach was made by design compost central rotational (DCCR). In
terms of efficiency in the removal of pollutant specimens, it was possible to determine
that the best experimental conditions are 188 rpm and 8,975g L-1 of shrimp shells. The
kinetic studies revealed that the model of pseudo second order provided the best
adjustments of experimental data, confirming that the control of the velocity is by a
chemical adsorption mechanism. The results of the treatment confirmed its suitability to
remove efficiently acidity and metals. So, the sustainable character of the proposed
treatment can be pointed out, with which it has been possible to transform an extremely
toxic water in an effluent capable of being used as reuse water for secondary
non-potable purposes by a cheap technology, giving an added value to a residue
initially without value, the shrimp shell.

Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of the Effective Thermal Conductivity for Complex
Structured Multiphase Building Materials
Mazhar Hussain and Wen-Quan Tao
Xi’an Jiaotong University, China
Abstract—The effective thermal conductivity is an important parameter used to predict
the thermal performance analysis of complex structured porous building materials. The
observation of porous structure of building materials on REV (representative
elementary volume) scale showed that pores can be classified into meso and macro
pores. In contrast to the traditional models usually used for the (macro-meso) pore
connection , a new numerical random generation macro-meso pores (RGMMP) method,
based on geometrical and morphological information acquired from measurements or
experimental calculations, is proposed here. Along with proposed structure generating
tool RGMMP a high efficiency LBM, characterized with the energy conservation and
appropriate boundary conditions at numerous interfaces in the complex system, for the
solution of the governing equation is described which yields a powerful numerical tool
to obtain accurate solutions. Then present model is validated with some theoretical and
experimental values of effective thermal conductivity of typical building materials. The
comparison of present model and experimental results shows that the proposed model

agrees much better with the experimental data than the traditional theoretical models.

Abstract—This research document presents an experimental study on the effect of the
superposition of glass panes on the functioning of a solar thermal collector.
Experiments were carried out on an active solar energy demonstration system (ET 200).
Three (03) commercial glass panes of 3mm, 5mm and 8mm thick were used.In the first
experiment the collector glass was replaced by the superposition of the two panes of 3
and 5mm thick. In the second experiment the collector glass was replaced by the
thickest glass (8mm). The glass of 8mm thick leaves more energy, generated from the
halogen lamp, to penetrate inside the collector than the composed glass (3mm+5mm),
which leaves less energy reaching the absorber. The glass pane of 8mm thick has an
efficiency of about 44% against 40% for the composed glass (3mm+5mm). The glass
composed from the superposition of the panes of 3mm and 5mm thick exerts a distinct
effect, on the solar collector, than the simple glass of 8mm thick.

materials. Theprogress in its solution determines the reliability of modeling and the
quality of design of a widerange of contemporary devices, as well as devices that will be
created in the future. The intensiveinvestigations in hysteresis modeling were induced by
the fact that accuracy models of magnetichysteresis must be studied yet. In this paper,
several identification procedures of the distributionfunctions of the Preisach model will
be investigated by means of a genetic algorithm.
The proposed approach has been applied to model the behavior of many samples and
distributionfunctions are optimized which will give accurate results of the hysteresis
loop. The results show therobustness and efficiency of genetic algorithm to model the
phenomenon of hysteresis loop. Thiswork can give solutions about the ferromagnetic
material evaluations and shows the optimization ofdistribution functions according to the
material behaviors.

Development of a Plasma-Dump Combustor for VOC Destruction
Young Nam Chun, Eun Hyuk Kim, Mun Sup Lim and Woo Il Cheon
Chosun University, Korea
Abstract—Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases with low calorific values
produced from the painting or drying process whose stable combustion cannot be ensured
by direct combustion. In this study, a novel plasma-dump combustor was proposed to
remove the VOCs. The combustor is combined the concept of a plasma burner, a dump
combustor and a 3D matrix burner. Therefore, it can achieve high destruction with low
input energy and stable flame at low temperature.
The toluene was used as a representative VOC. The toluene reduction characteristic was
examined according to the total gas feed, toluene concentration, dump injector position,
and 3D matrix heat accumulator. The toluene decomposition efficiency was 99.5%, and
the energy efficiency was 447.2 g/kWh was at the optimum operating conditions.

broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) application. The proposed antenna consists of a grating
patch and a concave rectangular ground plane with defected ground plane, and the
Multiple Split-Ring Resonator (MSRR). The added part in the ground plane and the
meta-material are used to enable the antenna height reduction for fixed ranges of
operating frequency. The proposed antenna can operate from 468 MHz to 894 MHz
frequency range corresponding to 62.5% of impedance bandwidth for |S11| better than
-7.5 dB. This covers the working frequency band (470–862 MHz) of DVB-T system. The
radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is omnidirectional across the desired operating
frequency band. Details of the proposed antenna designs and experimental results of the
constructed prototypes are presented and discussed.

The microstructure evolution and hardness behavior of AZ91 containing Sn magnesium
alloy
Sugun Lim
Gyeongsang National University,Korea
Abstract—In this study, the microstructure evolution and Hardness of AZ91-containing
Sn magnesium alloy during the solid solution and the aging heat treatment processes
were investigated using the optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray
diffraction, and Rockwell hardness techniques. The XRD results showed that the main
phases in the as-casted alloy were α-Mg, Mg17Al12,and Mg2Sn. The SEM images
obtained from the solution treatment of the AZ91-containing Sn magnesium alloy
showed that the Mg17Al12 phases in the alloy were dissolved in the matrix due to the
increased holding time during the solution treatment, but the Mg2Sn phases were clearly
observed. The highest degree of hardness of the AZ91-containing Sn magnesium alloy
appeared to have been 82HRE at the aging temperature of 200ºC.
Index Terms—AZ91 alloy, aging behavior, solution treatment, Sn addition, Mg2Sn.
