This paper develops a more diverse and multi-dimensional agenda for understanding and researching urban verticality. Particularly, it argues for the emergence of skyscrapers, the technological inventions that made this possible, the impact of high-rise buildings on the urban context and their interaction with it. It also draws attention to sociological aspects in the perception of skyscrapers and both role/status in advertising. The external and internal essence of skyscrapers, their interconnection and confrontation are considered. At the end, the question of the fullness of vertical urbanism is assessed and studied, its existence is called into question and the necessary conditions for its emergence are considered.

The corona virus or SARS-CoV2 is a pathogenic virus that has become a pandemic and a threat in almost all countries in the world. SARS-CoV2 belongs to the Coronaviridae family with particle sizes varying around 60 nm - 140 nm. Various regulations and prevention have been designed to reduce the impact of Covid-19 by SARS-CoV2. Several technologies and studies have been developed to form nanofiber woven membranes. Cellulose nanofibers and chitin/chitosan nanofibers have been studied and are known to have nanometer-sized structures smaller than SARS-CoV2. Chitin/chitosan has been investigated to have antiviral properties, especially corona virus. Cellulose nanofibers, and chitin/chitosan nanofibers has the potential to be developed for Covid-19 virus nanofiltration masks. Various active agents (nanosilver, nanogold, CuO, etc.) have been known to have antiviral and/or antibacterial properties so that they can be used as nanofillers to enhance the performance and effectiveness of nanofibers based masks against SARS-CoV2.

The usage of wheeled robots in service robots such as planetary exploration robots, pick-and-place robots, cleaning robots, surveillance robots, etc., is continuously increasing day by day. The primary purpose of these service robots is to reduce human resources and minimize human life risk in a hazardous environment. Therefore, in this article, the authors purpose and design the all-terrain differential-driven caterpillar-wheeled based unmanned Fire Extinguisher Robot (FER), which can detect and monitor the fire by using gas (smoke) sensor and temperature sensor. Also, it can extinguish the fire by spreading the fire extinguisher gas. The proposed unmanned FER has been divided into the two assembled units, one unit drives the FER, and another unit is for spreading the fire extinguisher gas through the nozzle of the cylinder. The driving unit of unmanned FER consists of six DC geared motors, two dual DC motor drivers, caterpillar driving wheels, Arduino MEGA microcontroller, Bluetooth module, gas sensor, temperature sensor, and rechargeable lithium-polymer (LiPo) battery. Next, the one DC motor connected with a motor driver controls the fire extinguisher gas cylinder's open and close valve through a Bluetooth signal from an android phone. The specially designed chassis and caterpillar driving wheel arrangement help the FER to travel in any terrain, including stair climbing. Real-time experimental tests have been carried out on the designed unmanned FER during the fire extinguishing process to prove the effectiveness of the developed FER.

A wireless sensor network is a collection of nodes organized in a cooperative environment. Node localization plays a vital role in many applications. Conventional location detection techniques such as global positioning system (GPS) and infrared are expensive to find the location node. This paper proposes the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) to learn the environment impairments within a wireless sensor network with the purpose of localization for data management. Hence, in this paper, we have presented an efficient and dynamic Genetic algorithm with help of receiving signal strength indicator (RSSI) which gives the optimal node location value with minimal localization error. Our simulation modeled in MATLAB 7.0 shows that the dynamic GA can achieve acceptable node location detection with the aid of three anchors. The simulation results represent th

A multi-item producer-retailer integrated system featuring overtime and random scrap is studied. The objectives are to jointly decide the most economic rotation fabrication cycle time and distribution of products. In order to meet the increasing demands of diversified end items, production managers today need to plan a multiproduct fabrication schedule and to expedite both manufacturing and transportation times so that they can meet product demands as quickly as possible. Also, due to potential uncontrollable reasons, scrap items are generated randomly in a real fabrication process. To address the aforementioned issues, this study examines a multi-item producer-retailer integrated system featuring overtime and random scrap. We build a mathematical model to interpret the proposed multi-item producer-retailer integrated system which incorporates shipping and retailer’s holding cost. The Hessian matrix equations are used for solving the optimality of the system. Diverse important system information can now be exposed to backing managerial decision makings, which includes individual and combined influences of variations in particular system factor(s) (such as scrap rate and overtime related parameters) on the specific system performance.

Gold mining in Colombia has produced wealth that has helped the social and economic development of the country. Studying its extraction process offers artisanal mining broad alternatives that are more profitable for its small-scale production. Through this research, the possibility is offered of extracting 93.10% of gold in 180 minutes from a refractory mineral of pyritic origin with economic and environmentally friendly techniques such as the use of pretreatment with microwave waves, exposing the mineral to 637ºC for a maximum time of 4 minutes, and the use of thiourea as leaching agent at concentrations of 0.1 M. When comparing gold extraction with thiourea without pretreatment, a low extraction percentage is shown, 19.98%. This microwave pretreatment process was carried out on a nickeliferous laterite mineral, however, the results were not as effective for the extraction of nickel, only 40.8% was obtained in 420 minutes, because the pretreatment with its exposure Microwaving was not efficient.

The primary objective of this study is to optimize the significant parameters (filler type, filler size, and content) for improving the performance of starch-based biocomposite films. The mathematical and statistical tools such as response surface methodology (RSM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed for modeling and optimization. To verify the different developed models, validation tests were also performed. The results showed that the RSM based central composite design (CCD) is an effective tool to predict the relationship between various input parameters and desired responses. Most of the desirable properties [Tensile strength, Young’s modulus, impact strength, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and opacity] of starch-based films were improved with the increase of filler content. The optimum values of input and response parameters are: filler content: 8.11 wt.%, filler size: 27.07 µm, filler type: walnut shell, tensile strength: 32.43 MPa, Young’s modulus: 333.338 MPa, elongation at break: 9.90 %, impact strength: 34.12 J/mm, WVTR: 1040.40 g m-2 24 h-1, ROD: 31.6918 weight loss%/day, transparency 58.60 %transmittance/mm, and solubility 27.06%.

In this research, the adsorption capacity of diatomaceous earth in the removal of the crystal violet dye (CV) in aqueous solution was evaluated. The experimental methodology began with the determination of the texture properties by adsorption-desorption isotherms with N2 a 77 K, the identification of functional groups by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and, the pH of the isoelectric point by the point of zero charge (PZC). A categorical multifactorial design was developed with factors such as the initial concentration of the dye (300-1000 mg/dm3), the temperature (30, 35 and 40ºC) and the initial pH of the solution (5, 6, 7 and 8). The maximum adsorption capacity was of 96.1 mg/g up 30ºC and pH 8, satisfactorily fitting the experimental data to the Langmuir isotherm model with R2 = 0.99, suggesting a monolayer adsorption mechanism on a homogeneous surface. In conclusion, diatomaceous earth can be considered as an efficient adsorbent in the removal of CV in aqueous solution.
在本研究中,评估了硅藻土对水溶液中结晶紫染料(CV)的吸附能力。实验方法始于通过N2 a 77K的吸附-解吸等温线测定织构性质,通过傅里叶变换红外光谱法(FTIR)鉴定官能团,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)鉴定形貌,以及通过零电荷点(PZC)测定等电点的pH。根据染料的初始浓度(300-1000mg/dm3)、温度(30、35和40ºC)和溶液的初始pH(5、6、7和8)等因素,开发了一种分类多因素设计。在30ºC和pH 8下,最大吸附容量为96.1 mg/g,实验数据与Langmuir等温线模型拟合良好,R2=0.99,表明在均匀表面上存在单层吸附机制。总之,硅藻土可以被认为是去除水溶液中CV的有效吸附剂。

Tungsten heavy alloys 90W-7Ni-3Co (WNC) and 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co (WNFC), produced using liquid phase sintering followed by thermo-mechanical processing, were investigated for microstructure and mechanical properties. 90W-7Ni-3Co alloy processed following a cyclic heat treatment showed fine tungsten particles in the matrix. The alloy, when heat treated at a temperature 850°C (the lower temperature of cyclic treatment), formed a W-rich intermetallic phase in the matrix that subsequently dissolved during high temperature (1150°C) solution treatment leaving behind fine W particles. On the other hand, the matrix phase of the alloy, 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co showed a clean structure devoid of any such precipitates. Both the alloys were subjected to a thermomechanical treatment that included two stage swaging with intermediate heat treatments. 90W-7Ni-3Co alloy exhibited superior strength, but lower elongation to failure and impact toughness as compared to 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co alloy. Microstructure-property correlation was undertaken in order to elucidate the effect of enhanced W dissolution and fine W precipitates (in the matrix) on mechanical behaviour of the alloys investigated.
