FOOD PRODUCT CONTAMINATION RISKS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF PRODUCTION by O. I. Lavrukhina, V. G. Amelin, L. B. Prokhvatilova, O. I. Ruchnova

“…It especially concerns the raw material processing stage which poses additional risk of contamination of the finished product both with technologically justified additives (during their uncontrolled use) as well as banned additives (e.g. melanin, used in melamine-formaldehyde resin production for plastic manufacturing, as colorant and fertilizer) as well as degradation products (nitrosamine, acrylamide, chlorpropanol appearing as a result of heat treatment). It should be noted that some chemical contaminants like chemical elements (plumbum, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) can get into food products at different stages of their production. …”

Investigating Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fluctuations on PCB Surfaces: A Near-Field Analysis of CBCPW Transmission Lines up to 15.2 MHz by Mariusz Zubert, Mariusz Jankowski, Zbigniew Kulesza

“…This research further develops a model for electromagnetic field fluctuations by incorporating theoretical frameworks aligned with stochastic Maxwell’s equations and addressing challenges such as measurement uncertainty and mechanical stepping of the probe head over the PCB surface. The autocovariance function enhances data analysis robustness, which is advantageous for the sparse data typically associated with PCBs and integrated circuits. …”

Phase Transformation, Microstructures, and Mechanical Properties of α + β Two-Phase Titanium Alloy Deposited Metal by Surfacing Welding by Naiwen Fang, Ruisheng Huang, Kai Xu, Tianli Zhang, Pengbo Wu, Yiming Ma, Hao Cao, Jian Qin, Jipeng Zou

“…The results showed that primary α phase began to appear at grain boundaries when the deposited metal was heated to 890.5°C, and microstructures were all composed of coarse β columnar grains after the temperature was raised to 1 190.2°C; with the increase of cooling rate during the cooling process, temperature for starting new phase transformation decreased from 943.7°C to 811.1°C, and temperature for ending the transformation increased gradually from 708.0°C to 736.2°C; when cooled to room temperature at a rate of 1°C/s, microstructures consisted of α phase; at a rate of 15°C/s, acicular α′ martensite appeared in the microstructures; at 100°C/s, the microstructures were completely comprised by acicular α′ martensite; when the cooling rate was low, V element would be slightly precipitated from αgb into the matrix; when cooling turned faster, V element had no time to enter the matrix by diffusion, so it became uniformly distributed; as the cooling rate getting faster, lamellar microstructures became thinner gradually, and microhardness of the deposited metal was improved in a gradual manner.…”
