Attendance has been averaging 50 plus for some time and that is great. We were also treated to another outstanding presentation by Ed Swain of Division 7. Ed showed how he made a long city backdrop scene by combining parts of stock kits, scratch built buildings and printed backgrounds to fill a long stretch of background build- ings behind his yard. He incorporated a gradual transition from large city to wooded rural area to create a continuous scene that is very convincing. Someone in the audience was heard to say “if you think that looks good you should see it in person.” Fortunately, you will have that opportunity as Ed is hosting an operating session for the convention as well as a Sunday open house. Our AP Chair, Bob Fink, presented Phil Gliebe with merit awards for models he entered in contests at previous National Conventions, one from 2012 and the other from 2009.

  • Organic-Solvent Resistant Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Membrane Modules for Separation and Purification of Nanoparticles
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERATION OF Taehyeong Kim for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presented on November 3, 2011 Title: Organic-solvent Resistant Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Membrane Modules for Separation and Purification of Nanoparticles Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Vincent T. Remcho The intriguing size- and shape dependent properties of nanoparticles have garnered recent attention in many science and engineering areas. When the particle size is in the nanometer size range, the material exhibits very different properties such as surface plasmon resonance (of gold nanoparticles) and superparamagnetism (of iron oxide nanoparticles). The size-dependent properties of quantum dots have made them useful as UV-Vis-NIR sensors and in telecommunications applications. However, the separation and purification of nanoparticles are still challenging due to their size, insolubility in many solvents, and irreversible adsorption to other materials. Membrane filtration is widely used to separate nano-sized biological materials such as proteins, viruses, DNA and RNA. This dissertation presents novel approaches to the use of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes for nanoparticle separation and purification using dead-end and cross-flow filtration techniques. Purification of phosphine-stabilized Au11 (Au11(PPh3)8Cl3, M.W. 4371, dcore=0.8 nm), produced in a microreactor without recrystallization, was achieved using nanofiltration membranes. The ceramic and polymer nanofiltration membranes were able to purify the Au11 with rejection values higher than 90%. A novel continuous nanofiltration system design was applied and characterized. The continuous synthesis process, coupled with continuous nanofiltration, resulted in a significant reduction in synthesis time while producing higher yield than could be achieved in batch experiments.

  • Foot–Pound–Second System
    Foot–pound–second system The foot–pound–second system or FPS system is a system of units built on three fundamental units: the foot for length, the (avoirdupois) pound for either mass or force (see below), and the second for time.[1] Contents Variants Pound as mass unit Pound-force as force unit Pound as force unit Other units Molar units Electromagnetic units Units of light Conversions See also References Variants Collectively, the variants of the FPS system were the most common system in technical publications in English until the middle of the 20th century.[1] Errors can be avoided and translation between the systems facilitated by labelling all physical quantities consistently with their units. Especially in the context of the FPS system this is sometimes known as the Stroud system after William Stroud, who popularized it.[2] Three approaches to English units of mass and force or weight[3][4] Base Force Weight Mass 2nd law of m = F F = W⋅a motion a g F = m⋅a System British Gravitational (BG) English Engineering (EE) Absolute English (AE) Acceleration ft/s2 ft/s2 ft/s2 (a) Mass (m) slug pound-mass pound Force (F), pound pound-force poundal weight (W) Pressure (p) pound per square inch pound-force per square inch poundal per square foot Pound as mass unit When the pound is used as a unit of mass, the core of the coherent system is similar and functionally equivalent to the corresponding subsets of the International System of Units (SI), using metre, kilogram and second (MKS), and the earlier centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS).

    One-dimensional mixtures of several ultracold atoms: a review Tomasz Sowinski´ 1 and Miguel Ángel García-March2 1 Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences Aleja Lotników 32/46, PL-02668 Warsaw, Poland 2 ICFO – Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques, Av. Carl Friedrich Gauss 3, 08860 Castelldefels (Barcelona), Spain (Dated: September 11, 2019) Recent theoretical and experimental progress on studying one-dimensional systems of bosonic, fermionic, and Bose-Fermi mixtures of a few ultracold atoms confined in traps is reviewed in the broad context of mesoscopic quantum physics. We pay special attention to limiting cases of very strong or very weak interactions and transitions between them. For bosonic mixtures, we describe the develop- ments in systems of three and four atoms as well as different extensions to larger numbers of particles. We also briefly review progress in the case of spinor Bose gases of a few atoms. For fermionic mixtures, we discuss a special role of spin and present a detailed discussion of the two- and three-atom cases. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different computation methods applied to systems with intermediate interactions. In the case of very strong repulsion, close to the infinite limit, we discuss approaches based on effective spin chain descriptions. We also report on recent studies on higher- spin mixtures and inter-component attractive forces. For both statistics, we pay particular attention to impurity problems and mass imbalance cases. Finally, we describe the recent advances on trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures, which allow for a theoretical combination of previous concepts, well illustrating the importance of quantum statistics and inter-particle interactions.

  • Surface Roughness Prediction of FFF-Fabricated Workpieces by Artificial Neural Network and Box–Behnken Method
    Int. J. Metrol. Qual. Eng. 12, 17 (2021) International Journal of © K. Kandananond, Published by EDP Sciences, 2021 Metrology and Quality Engineering https://doi.org/10.1051/ijmqe/2021014 Available online at: www.metrology-journal.org RESEARCH ARTICLE Surface roughness prediction of FFF-fabricated workpieces by artificial neural network and Box–Behnken method Karin Kandananond* Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University, 1 Moo 20 Paholyothin Rd. Klong-Luang District, 13180 Pathum Thani, Thailand Received: 16 August 2020 / Accepted: 3 June 2021 Abstract. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) or Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) or three-dimension (3D) printing are rapid prototyping processes for workpieces. There are many factors which have a significant effect on surface quality, including bed temperature, printing speed, and layer thickness. This empirical study was conducted to determine the relationship between the above-mentioned factors and average surface roughness (Ra). Workpieces of cylindrical shape were fabricated by an FFF system with a Polylactic acid (PLA) filament. The surface roughness was measured at five different positions on the bottom and top surface. A response surface (Box-Behnken) method was utilised to design the experiment and statistically predict the response. The total number of treatments was sixteen, while five measurements (Ra1,Ra2,Ra3,Ra4 and Ra5) were carried out for each treatment. The settings of each factor were as follows: bed temperature (80, 85, and 90 °C), printing speed (40, 80 and 120 mm/s), and layer thickness (0.10, 0.25 and 0.40 mm). The prediction equation of surface roughness was then derived from the analysis. The same set of data was also used as the inputs for a machine learning method, an artificial neural network (ANN), to construct the prediction equation of surface roughness.

  • PHOSPHORUS SPECIATION in SOIL LEACHATE USING FIELD-FLOW FRACTIONATION and FLOW INJECTION ANALYSIS by LAURA JANE GIMBERT a Thesis
    PHOSPHORUS SPECIATION IN SOIL LEACHATE USING FIELD-FLOW FRACTIONATION AND FLOW INJECTION ANALYSIS by LAURA JANE GIMBERT A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences In collaboration with Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, North Wyke Research Station, Devon. January 2005^ LIBRARY STORE f University of Plymouth Ubrary . Item No. ABSTRACT PHOSPHORUS SPECIATION IN SOIL LEACHATE USING FIELD-FLOW FRACTIONATION AND FLOW INJECTION ANALYSIS Laura Jane Gimbert Colloidal material (0.001 - I \im) in soil leachate and agricultural drainage waters is an important route for the transport of contaminants such as phosphorus from land to catchments. Excessive phosphorus concentrations can result in eutrophication of natural waters. To be able to characterise the colloidal material, in terms of size distribution, a mild and relatively new separation technique field-flow fractionation (FFF) can be used to fractionate complex colloidal samples. By combining FFF and flow injection analysis (FIA) more detailed physico-chemical information on phosphorus species in soil leachates and agricultural runoff waters can be obtained. Chapter 1 describes the methods used to determine phosphorus and also to characterise colloidal material, especially using FFF, and particularly focusing on the Flow FFF (FIFFF) sub-technique. Chapter 2 concentrates on the experimental considerations for FIFFF with recommended procedures for the setup and calibration of the system. In Chapter 3, SdFFF is used to compare the use of centriftigation and filtration for the fractionation of an Australian soil suspension, and demonstrates the uncertainties surrounding the use of conventional membrane filtration.

  • Field-Flow Fractionation Techniques for Polymer and Colloid Analysis
    Field-Flow Fractionation Techniques for Polymer and Colloid Analysis Helmut Cölfen, Markus Antonietti Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Colloid Chemistry Department, Am Mühlenberg 2, D-14476 Golm, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Field-flow fractionation (FFF) is a family of flexible analytical fractionating techniques which have the great advantage that separation is achieved solely through the interaction of the sample with an external physical field and without a stationary phase. This has the ad- vantage of avoiding the large variety of problems due to non-specific sample interactions with column materials associated with other chromatographic techniques. Furthermore, the range of information accessible is very broad and often complimentary when various FFF techniques are applied, so that even very complex systems with broad size distribution, heterogeneous mixtures or strongly interacting systems can be characterized. The range of particle sizes or hydrodynamic radii which can be separated is very broad ranging from 1 nm to 100 µm, covering the entire colloidal, polymeric and even most of the microparticle domain. No other fractionating technique can cover about 5 orders of magnitude of the par- ticle size, even with complex distributions. This review will introduce the basic principles, theory, and experimental arrangements of the various FFF techniques focusing on the most relevant for praxis: Sedimentation-FFF (S- FFF), Thermal-FFF (Th-FFF) and Flow-FFF (Fl-FFF). In a second part, selected applications of these techniques both to synthetic and biological samples will illustrate applications un- der a variety of conditions, where problems and potential pitfalls as well as recent develop- ments are also considered.

Brno . ................................... (author’s signature) ABSTRACT Proposed thesis deals with the characterization, processing and gelation of soluble col- lagen. A literature review summarizes position of collagen at the transplant market, explains its application and describes different types of collagen. Various methods of characterization of soluble collagen are analysed in detail and different ways of its gela- tion are thoroughly discussed. The experimental part is divided into two sections. The first section of experimental part deals with the dissolution and gelation of soluble colla- gen in pressurized CO2 atmosphere. Compared to the other similar methods, our method operates in a relatively low pressure (up to 0.9MPa) and and low temperatures (close to 0°C) that does not denature soluble collagen (works at low temperatures). This method can be used for fast formation of transparent gels containing very thin fibers. Speed of gelation and transparency of gels give a new potential to the concept of ophthalmology and should bring significant benefits to injectable products, creating microspheres and 3D printing. The second section describes the unique characterization of soluble colla- gen in native state by Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation - Multi Angle Light Scattering (AF4-MALS) method.

One of the advantages anticipated with this technology is the integration of many functions on the same chip, to create so-called micro total analysis systems (mTAS) or lab-on-a-chip systems. A particularly advantageous feature is considered the integration of chemical sample preparation on the chip, which could lead to front-end fully integrated analytical systems. In this work, a background survey regarding on-chip sample preparation is conducted, along with an analysis of the chemical requirements of sample preparation. Finally, a number of design proposals are presented, for how to implement those requirements through microstructure technology on silicon, glass or polymer chips.
