L-Lactic acid-producing Lactobacillus lactis and L. plantarum were isolated from date wastes. The fermentation process was optimized using a one-variable-at-a-time approach. Dairy wastewater and wastewater from the date industry were utilized as low-cost culture media to produce lactic acid. The selected two bacterial strains were co-cultured in wastewater medium to produce L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. Lactic acid production was significantly improved by glucose (carbon source), yeast extract (nitrogen source), initial inoculum level, and polysorbate 80. A central composite design and response surface methodology were used to optimize the variables and their levels to improve lactic acid yield. The supplemented yeast extract, glucose, and polysorbate 80 improved lactic acid. The predicted variables and their levels for maximum lactic acid production were glucose (67.5 g/L), yeast extract (10.28 g/L), and polysorbate 80 (0.48 mL/L). The prepared nanocomposites exhibited antibacterial activity against foodborne bacterial pathogens. The structural properties of the silver-polylactic acid nano compost materials were determined. The characterized compost materials exhibited a peak absorption wavelength of 430 nm. The silver and poly(lactic acid) were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis and were 30 to 50 nm in size.

Pretreated carboxymethylated nanofibrillated cellulose (CM-NFC) was tested as a strength enhancer for specialty paper, such as banknotes made from cotton linter mixed pulp (CLMP). The pretreatment agent was cationic poly(acrylamide) (C-PAM). The CM-CMF prototype was supplied by a Korean manufacturer. Laboratory tests and pilot trials were performed to evaluate the strength enhancement of banknotes incorporated with surface-modified CM-NFC and determine the process problems encountered in a pilot paper machine. The CM-NFC was surface modified with 0.1% C-PAM without any agglomerates. The prepared laboratory handsheets had high paper strength, which was attributed to the higher nanofibril content of surface-modified CM-NFC compared with that of unmodified CM-NFC. Pilot trials showed that the incorporation of 3% surface-modified CM-NFC was highly effective in promoting the strength of banknote without low retention and drainability on the wet-end part of the pilot paper machine. Therefore, surface-modified CM-NFC at a controlled dosage could be used as a strength enhancer for specialty paper without incurring serious problems in a paper mill.

This study was conducted to investigate some characteristics of thermally treated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood specimens such as air-dried density, color change, average surface roughness, and sound absorption capacity. Heat treatment of Scots pine wood was performed at atmospheric pressure at 140, 160, 180, and 200 °C for 2 h. As a result, the air-dried density values of the thermally treated wood decreased as the temperature of the thermal treatment increased. With the increase of thermal treatment temperature, an increase in total color change values was detected on the surfaces of the samples and the color of the samples became darker. The average surface roughness (Ra) value of samples improved due to thermal treatment conditions and the highest value was determined in thermally treated samples at 200 °C as 3.59 μm. At 140 °C the value of maximum sound absorption coefficient was observed to be 0.48 at 2500 Hz and the highest sound transmission loss value, which was 36.7 dB, was measured at 6300 Hz and at 200 °C.

Key components of the existing external meshing dorsal spine plunger-type molding machine were modeled in three dimensions, and the fatigue life analysis of the molding machine spindle was carried out by using Ansys software. Due to the nonlinear mechanical behavior of the material ring mold, and pressure roller in the granulation process, there are a lot of contacts and collisions. Using the linear mechanics model is difficult to analyze. To achieve more accurate and realistic results, an Edem-Ansys joint coupled simulation was carried out for the pressure roller and ring mold engagement process. The results showed that the stress concentration point and fatigue weak region of the spindle occurred at the shaft cross-section, where the stress value should be less than 0.75 F. The maximum stresses and strains in the engagement process of the pressure roller and the ring die body occurred at the engagement point. The maximum values of deformation, stress, and strain were 0.039 mm, 412 MPa, and 0.002 mm/mm, respectively, which are all within the reasonable range and meet the design requirements.

The study aim was to optimise the C/N ratio, improve the compost quality, reduce pathogenic bacteria load in the compost, and improve guava yield. Vegetable wastes were mixed with cow dung, grasses, and food wastes in ratios of 4:3:2:1 (w/w) for achieving a C/N ratio of approximately 37. Co-composting is an important strategy because the mixture of bulking agents can help achieve optimal composting conditions. Experimental results were obtained from a pilot-scale rotary drum reactor with forced aeration. In the reactor, the temperature increased during the thermophilic phase (58±2 °C) and decreased after 10 days (54±2 °C). The pH values moderately increased, then decreased, and were near to neutral after maturation. The results indicated that co-composting of bio-wastes at a C/N ratio of 37.6%±1.02% could be effectively decomposed to reduce the residuals to just 13.6%±1.05% after 28 days. The microbial population increased in both mesophilic and thermophilic stages and decreased at the end of the composting, reflecting stability. The stable compost was applied to the growth of guava plant, and the yield was calculated. The organic compost improved plant growth, fruit yield, and enriched phytochemical compounds in the fruit and peels. The phytochemical compounds improved antioxidant activity in the guava fruits.

This paper proposes a furniture design method combining Kansei engineering (KE) and shape grammar (SG), to explore how the diagonal ridge elements of classical Suzhou-style buildings can be applied to furniture design and to explain how the styling elements match the cultural imagery in furniture products. Suzhou-style armchairs and cultural elements of diagonal ridges were collected, the most suitable armchairs were selected for incorporating such elements, and their shapes were deconstructed along with characteristic interpretations. A factor bank of diagonal ridge elements was constructed, first through Kansei word selection and evaluation experiments, and then through factor analysis which determined the main cultural elements of the design. The shape grammar theory was applied to design and innovate the selected armchair samples, achieving three design solutions. The solutions were then comprehensively evaluated, and the optimal one was used for the final physical product. The results of the study showed that users had clear subjective feelings about the design incorporating diagonal ridge elements, with their Kansei on three aspects: aesthetic style, decorative complexity, and structural balance. The approach used in this work blends furniture products with cultural imagery on diagonal ridges, providing a feasible methodological reference and an empirical case for cultural sustainability through furniture design.

The limits of the pulp screening operation can be defined as the maximum throughput before the apertures start to plug permanently. This two-part article sought insights into the limits of screening operation. In part two, the operational window of the screen was characterized by performing a series of screening trials with different pulp furnishes, where the plugging point was conventionally measured with the pressure signal. The limits of operation, given by a slot velocity and rotor speed contour, showed a robust linear relationship at the point of plugging, which depended on the ratio of the fibre length to aperture size. For size ratios less than 1.5, the screen did not plug under the conditions tested. In addition, the plugging detection tool was conceptualized in part one based on the kurtosis of the distribution of fluctuation peaks, and it was employed here. Effectively, deviations from the Gaussian distribution of the pressure fluctuation peaks signal the onset of screen plugging. Thus, the utility of this tool was confirmed for detecting plugs using readily available pressure fluctuation data in pilot-scale screening operations.

Laboratory and field experiments were performed to examine the feasibility of using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to monitor moisture content (MC) of wood and standing trees. The TDR was used to detect the electromagnetic wave propagation time of four tree species (Betula platyphylla, Tilia tuan, Picea asperata, and Fraxinus mandshurica) at different MCs. During the TDR test, effects of probe insertion depths on MC predictive accuracy were considered. The best results were obtained at an insertion depth of 8 cm. At the selective 8 cm insertion depth, a species-specific MC prediction model (0.94 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.98), a generalized model for the four species (R2 = 0.65), and a hybrid model for the species with similar densities (0.80 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.96) were constructed, respectively. Overall, the species-specific MC prediction model showed good predictive ability for both tree and wood disc samples, including that TDR can be used to detect wood and standing tree MC. If possible, the hybrid model can be used for species with similar density.

Mechanical behavior properties were investigated for cabinet-type cabinet doors in kitchen furniture and drawer bottoms and joints used as storage areas under load in accordance with relevant standards (BS EN 16122). In the first stage, values physical and mechanical for particle board (PB) and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) were determined. According to the test results in the second stage, it was determined that the doors assembled using a torque of 1.3 N/m in the door tests were less deformed than those assembled with 0.63 N/m. According to the finite element analysis and real test results carried out in the final stage, it has been determined that the vertical loading analysis applied on the doors coincides with the real experiments by 85%, horizontal loading by 84%, and slam shut by 50%. The doors didn’t pass the final stage durability test in real experiments, and the analysis results revealed that the deformation areas were the same as for real experiment. In the drawers; strength 85%, displacement 84%, and slam shut 94% overlap are represented. The drawers completed the durability test in real experiments, and in the analysis, it was determined that the deformation that occurred under high stresses was in the same areas.

Species belonging to the genus Citrus are produced and traded in large amounts around the world. In addition to the consumption of citrus fruits as food due to their high vitamin C content, their use in many areas has become widespread with the development of the plant-based products industry. In this study, the amount and structure of volatile components of leaves and flowers of 5 different citrus species (Citrus aurantium, Citrus limon, Citrus paradisi, Citrus reticulata, and Citrus sinensis) were determined using the solid phase micro extraction. Monoterpene hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives were identified as the most abundant chemical component groups. Limonene was the dominant compound in Citrus limon flowers (36.5%), leaves (22.5%) and Citrus paradisi flowers (22.4%). Linalool, and sabinene were the other major components. Linalool was determined at 50.5% in flowers and 73.3% in leaves of Citrus aurantium. Moreover, sabinene had a high amount in Citrus sinensis flowers (19.7%), leaves (24.7%), and in Citrus paradisi (27.4%) leaves. Apart from these dominant components, γ-terpinene (13.9%) and p-cymene (25.4%) were detected in Citrus reticulata flowers and leaves in an important amount. It was seen that the leaves and flowers of Citrus species gathered from Hatay province were an important source of limonene and linalool compounds.
柑橘属植物在世界各地大量生产和交易。柑橘类水果除了因维生素 C 含量高而被作为食物食用外，随着植物基产品行业的发展，柑橘类水果在许多领域也得到了广泛应用。本研究采用固相微萃取法测定了 5 种不同柑橘（枳、柠檬、天堂柑、网纹柑和中华柚）叶片和花中挥发性成分的含量和结构。结果表明，单萜烃及其含氧衍生物是含量最高的化学成分。柠檬烯是柠檬花（36.5%）、叶子（22.5%）和天堂柑橘花（22.4%）中的主要化合物。芳樟醇和沙比利烯是其他主要成分。经测定，芳樟醇在枳实花中的含量为 50.5%，在叶中的含量为 73.3%。此外，在柑橘花（19.7%）、叶（24.7%）和天堂柑橘叶（27.4%）中，沙比利烯的含量也很高。除了这些主要成分外，γ-萜品烯（13.9%）和对-千金子烯（25.4%）在网纹柑花和叶中的含量也很高。由此可见，从哈塔伊省采集的柑橘叶片和花朵是柠檬烯和芳樟醇化合物的重要来源。
