Influence of Silicon on Oxidation and Adhesion of Oxide Scale on Hot-Rolled Steel Strips
No full textThis research focuses on the influence of silicon alloys in hot-rolled steel strips. The steel used in the study was obtained from a hot rolling process with different silicon contents of 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt.%. The as-received oxide scale on the hot-rolled steel surface was completely removed by SiC paper and re-oxidized in a horizontal furnace with an atmosphere of 17% H2O-N2 at temperatures of 600°C, 650°C, and 700°C for 10 seconds. An investigation of scale adhesion can be done using a tensile testing machine with a CCD camera. The adhesion of the oxide scale to the steel surface was recorded on video. The oxide phase was examined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure and thickness of the oxide scale were examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicated that all steels studied produced oxide scales that consisted of hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4), which contained iron (Fe). The scale thickness tends to increase with increasing temperature, while thickness decreases with increasing Si content in steel. The oxide scale adhesion was indicated by the strain initiating the first spallation during tensile load. The results showed that the strain initiating the first scale spallation tends to decrease with increasing temperature, while scale adhesion increases with increasing Si content in steel. The mechanical adhesion of the oxide scale to the steel substrate was considered in terms of energy. The results indicate that the scale adhesion of steel with 0.3 wt.% Si was higher than that in another sample. It was possible that the presence of an oxide that contains Si at the scale-steel interface, which encourages scale adhesion. The mechanical adhesion energy of the oxide scale was shown in the range of 2-20 J/m2. The qualitative assessment of scale adhesion in terms of strain initiating the first spallation and mechanical adhesion energy suggested the good adhesion behavior of scale grown in the hot-rolled steel with 0.3 wt.% Si. This result indicates that scale formed on steel with a high silicon content tends to be difficult to remove. There was a need to control the Si content in the hot-rolled steel in a satisfactory way to save energy during the de-scale process

Defining The Pattern of the Thai Osteoarthritis Movement Data Model
No full textThis study proposed an algorithm to identify the patterns of Thai osteoarthritis, a condition that has seen an increase in prevalence in recent years, significantly affecting patients' quality of life and mobility. We aimed to define the data patterns for analysis. For data collection, we employed a Razor-IMU sensor and a WIFI transmitter, allowing testers to independently perform full-range knee motions. Data collection was categorized into two groups: healthy and unhealthy. Our goal was to categorize the data and establish criteria for pattern classification. Once the patterns and criteria were established, our objective was to validate movement models for both normal individuals and osteoarthritis patients. To achieve this, we conducted statistical hypothesis testing to verify the accuracy of the data. This testing comprised three main steps: first, evaluating the accuracy of data collection and data cleaning. Second, assessing the precision of converting data from linear to angular format, including degree coordinates selection. The last, Evaluating the accuracy of data sorting and grouping using Louvain clustering. The researcher thoroughly scrutinized each step to confirm the results. Each step demonstrated an accuracy test As Thailand transitions into an aging society, the prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing due to the natural deterioration of the body. This deterioration can be decelerated by avoiding risky behaviors. Osteoarthritis significantly impacts patients' physical and mental well-being, making it a critical health concern. The objective of this research is to develop movement prototypes for both normal individuals and osteoarthritis patients by leveraging computer knowledge. This includes data collection with motion sensor devices, enhancing data quality using data mining techniques such as data cleaning and data transformation into suitable formats, and grouping of data. Additionally, the study seeks to validate the accuracy of the algorithm using statistical hypothesis testing methods and graph pattern detection. Based on the experimental results, an accuracy rate of 97% was achieved, demonstrating a high level of reliability. This prototype can be applied in treatment analysis, monitoring treatment outcomes, and even injury prevention. Furthermore, the dataset can serve as a model for the Thai population and can be expanded to accommodate larger datasets.

Growth Performance of Goat Fed with Indigofera (Indigofera suffruticosa Mill.) and Super Napier (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach x Pennisetm Glaucoma L.)
Get PDFIt still needs to be thoroughly determined how to incorporate various pasture mixes at varying amounts in goat diets. Fewer farmers are feeding goats varied concentrations of Indigofera and super Napier grass, although many have already practiced incorporating different pasture types into the goats' regular grazing routines. The study aimed to determine how various Indigofera and Super Napier combinations affected goat growth, morphometry, and carcass parameters. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used to conduct the trial, with six treatments replicated four times, with Treatments 1 and 6 acting as a control. The Tukey HSD test performed multiple means comparisons across several treatments. Goats that were fed with 100% Indigofera, 80% Super Napier + 20% Indigofera, and 100% Super Napier significantly outgrew their size, as seen by their final weights of 16.93 kg, 16.68 kg, and 16.57 kg, respectively (3.16 kg, 2.90 kg and 2.67 kg, respectively). Combinations of 60% super Napier + 40% Indigofera and 70% super Napier + 30% Indigofera have a substantial impact on the amount of feed consumed (1.71 kg), whereas 60% super Napier + 40% Indigofera has a considerable impact on the goat's feed efficiency (0.60 and 0.76, respectively). Following a 60-day experiment, 100% Indigofera also had an impact on the chest circumference (57.20 cm), loin eye area (11.66 cm2), gastrointestinal contents (2.90 kg), hot carcass weight (6.72 kg), cold carcass weight (6.45%), pluck weight (0.68 kg), the weight of total trimmable fats (0.33 kg), and the percentage weight of total trimmable fats (2.02%). Additionally, 70% super Napier + 30% Indigofera, 80% SN+20% Indigofera, 70% SN + 30% Indigofera, and 60% SN + 40% Indigofera are suggested by these data
