PREDICTION AND OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS OF DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF AUTOMOTIVE CLOSURES by GUO PengBo, LIU Zhe, LI Hui, GAO DaWei

“…Aiming at the fatigue failure problem of a car door opening and closing process.The Hypermesh was used to construct a finite element model of door opening and closing,and then Ls⁃Dyna,an explicit dynamics solver,was used to establish a nonlinear transient dynamics model of door opening and closing.The d3plot file containing the stress⁃time history solved by the nonlinear transient analysis was imported into nCode DesignLife to build the fatigue analysis module,and the results were verified with 100000 times of door opening and closing durability tests,and the conclusions show that both of them have good consistency in terms of the damage location and the damage degree.Finally,multi⁃particle swarm optimization(MPSO)was used to optimize the door with the objectives of door lightweight and minimum damage,and the optimal solution was selected according to the engineering reality,which reduced the mass of the door assembly by 0.17 kg,and the damage value of the door was reduced by about 24.33%.The optimization results show that the MPSO algorithm can be effectively applied to the multi⁃objective optimization design of the door,which provides certain ideas for the design and development of the subsequent door.…”

Antidiabetic Potential of Marine Brown Algae—a Mini Review by Thilina L. Gunathilaka, Kalpa Samarakoon, Pathmasiri Ranasinghe, L. Dinithi C. Peiris

“…Due to the adverse side effects of currently available antidiabetic drugs, search for an effective natural-based antidiabetic drug is important to combat diabetes and its complications. Therefore, in lieu with herbal drug development, it is important to find the potential benefits of seaweeds for the management of type 2 diabetes as they are underexplored yet in Sri Lanka. …”

Investigating cooked rice textural properties by instrumental measurements by Keyu Tao, Wenwen Yu, Sangeeta Prakash, Robert G. Gilbert

“…While foods with high amylose content have this desirable property, they usually do not have high sensory appeal and consumers are reluctant to eat them. While sensory evaluation by trained human panelists is the best way to obtain consumer preferences, these tests are expensive, time-consuming and require considerable effort and care. …”

Guest Editorial Vol12 no2 by Janine Bolger

“…Increasing interest in social pedagogy throughout Scotland appears to be reflected, strategically, through the emergence of training by organisations such as ThemPra, the evaluation of training programmes (Milligan 2009, and see Evelyn Vrouwenfelder's article in this issue), through bi-annual meetings of stakeholders and practitioners via the social pedagogy Development Network, through study visits by agency staff to European projects (ThemPra Mobility Project 2012) and by the increasing number of related articles and books being published.…”

Insulin-Like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Breast Cancer Cell Growth: Focus on Endocrine Resistant Disease by Kallirroi Voudouri, Aikaterini Berdiaki, Maria Tzardi, George N. Tzanakakis, Dragana Nikitovic

“…Importantly, the majority of breast cancer cases are estrogen receptor- (ER-) positive which have a more favorable prognosis and pattern of recurrence with endocrine therapy being the backbone of treatment. Unfortunately, the majority of patients progress to endocrine therapy resistant disease (acquired resistance) whereas a proportion of patients may fail to respond to initial therapy (de novo resistance). …”
