Analysis of Flexural Buckling Capacity of Stainless Steel Columns under Axial Compression by Yong Liang, Gapi Shu, Shaohua Li

“…The results showed that there are some deficiencies in the current European code for the design of stainless steel structures and the American code for the design of cold-formed stainless steel structures. According to the collected test data of square tube, rectangular tube, circular tube, elliptical tube, welded H-shaped steel, and cold-formed C-shaped steel for 199 section columns and according to the influence of cold-formed effect and residual stress on the stability of axial compression members, the members are divided into three categories: A, B, and C according to the section form, in which the columns with cold-formed square, rectangular hollow section, and lipped C-section were included in A, columns with circular and oval hollow section were sorted into B, columns with welded H-section were separated into C, and the three categories of axial compression stability curves are expressed in the form of Perry formula. …”

Rapid and Nondestructive Determination of Egg Freshness Category and Marked Date of Lay using Spectral Fingerprint by Thomas O. S. Akowuah, Ernest Teye, Julius Hagan, Kwasi Nyandey

“…The performance of LDA model was above 95% identification rate in both calibration and prediction set for the eggs stored under ambient and cold storage. For eggs stored in ambient storage, LDA had 95.54% identification rate at 5 principal components, while at cold storage LDA has 100% identification rate at 5 principal components for determining the marked date of lay, and partial least square regression (PLS-R) gave R = 0.87 and RMSEI = 2.57 for ambient storage and R = 0.88 and RMSEI = 2.66 for cold storage in independent set, respectively. …”

Ozone-Catalytic Treatment of Automotive Exhaust by S.R. Khairulin, D.V. Maksudov, M.A. Kerzhentsev, A.V. Salnikov, Z.R. Ismagilov

“… In the paper, an original design of an ozone-catalytic device, in which the process of ozone formation occurs directly inside the catalyst monolith of the honeycomb structure, is proposed for solving the problem of exhaust gases purification at the "cold start" of an automobile engine. For the considered device, various regimes of operation were examined, and the equations allowing us to calculate the concentrations of ozone depending on time were obtained. …”

Assessment of Climate Change Vulnerability at the Local Level: A Case Study on the Dniester River Basin (Moldova) by Roman Corobov, Igor Sîrodoev, Sonja Koeppel, Nickolai Denisov, Ghennadi Sîrodoev

“…Through a ranking approach, the relative vulnerability of each ATU was calculated by summing its sensitivity and adaptive capacity ranks; the latter were obtained as combinations of their primary indicator ranks, arranged in an increasing and decreasing order, respectively. Due to lack of sound knowledge on these components' importance in overall assessment of vulnerability, their weights were taken as conventionally equal. …”
