    Correction: Correction to “Effect of Adding Monohydrocalcite on the Microstructural Change in Cement Hydration” at https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.2c08229 The authorship has changed: Wanawan Pragot regrettably published the work that she carried out during her Ph.D. at the University of Aberdeen under the supervision of Waheed Afzal where this work had been assisted by (then) post-doc Ara Carballo-Meilan and (then Ph.D. student) Lewis McDonald. Wanawan Pragot regrets her action and wants to correct it. She notes that Chaiwat Photong helped her in proofreading the manuscript before she submitted. We believe that the contribution of Chaiwat Photong does not merit being the first author. The revised order and new additions reflect the contributions. The Acknowledgment and Author contributions have also been revised as given here. Author Contributions The manuscript was written through contributions of all authors. W.P. carried out work and wrote the paper. C.P. reviewed and edited the writing. All authors have given approval to the final version of the manuscript. Notes The authors declare no competing financial interest. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to acknowledge Dr. Lewis J. McDonald and Dr. M. Ara Carballo-Meilan to share their experience and give the good advice Funding Information: The authors wish to thank the ACEMAC Facility at the University of Aberdeen for Electron Microscopy, the late Dr. Mohammed Imbabi, and Prof. Fred Glasser for fruitful discussions related to carbon capture, mineralogy, and cement chemistry. Wanawan Pragot acknowledges the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, Government of Thailand, for providing her a Ph.D. scholarship to study at the University of Aberdeen where the work was carried out.

    Dynamic model and control of vehicles

    No full text
    In this thesis the author develops a 14 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) full-car model. The model draws from and improves upon features and setups of certain existing vehicle dynamics models. The proposed model provides a means to simulate vehicle ride and handling behaviors. An accurate prediction of such behaviors will lead to the proper control and design of vehicles. The vehicle’s kinematics and dynamics are developed to reflect the interactions between the rigid mass elements of the model such as the vehicle body and the wheels. The mathematical model includes the nonlinear characteristics of the tires, the three dimensional motions of the sprung and unsprung masses, the inertial coupling between the sprung and unsprung masses, and the restraints and forces imposed by the suspension components. The frictional forces developed at the road-tire contacts are modeled by the single point contact version of the Lund-Grenoble (LuGre) dynamic friction model. An extension of the LuGre friction model is presented to take into account the coupling between the rotational and translational motions of the wheels. Three different numerical study cases are selected to verify the model’s capability in representing various vehicle dynamic situations with respect to the model’s accuracy and to the model’s range of applicability. The issue of active suspension is subsequently discussed. A non-switching sliding mode controller is incorporated into the proposed vehicle model and a substantial reduction in the spectral intensity of a vibration mode of the vehicle body is achieved. Simulation results suggest that the rigorous modeling and mathematical development yields a model that captures satisfactory ride comfort and vehicle performance

    Particulate Matter Contributions from Agricultural Tilling Operations in an Irrigated Desert Region

    Sources of regional particulate matter (PM), particularly agricultural operations, must be understood in order to manage the air quality in irrigated dry climates. Direct monitoring measurements alone are useful, but not sufficient, to estimate regional PM source concentrations. This paper combines modeling with ground (point) and airplane (spatial) measurement methods to estimate regional PM10 (PM diameter <= 10 mu m) contributions from agricultural operations. Hourly data from three air quality monitoring stations positioned at a 2-m height located on the west and east mesas of New Mexico's Mesilla Valley and in the valley at Anthony, NM were acquired from the New Mexico Air Quality Bureau. The study spanned the agricultural tilling season, March 1 to April 30, for the years 2008 to 2012. One-second spatial PM10 concentrations at 200 m above the valley floor were measured during a two-hour controlled field tilling operation on April 1, 2008. The HYSPLIT 4.0 (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory version 4) model was run at the corresponding times and heights, outputting PM10 concentrations from all potential agricultural tilling operations. The calculated percentage contribution (modeled PM10 concentration/measured PM10 concentration) indicated that the near-surface (2-m height) proportion from the agricultural operations for five seasonal averages ranged from 0.7% to 1.5% on the west and east mesas and 1.3% for the valley site at Anthony. There were 71 hourly high values of contribution ratios ranging from 30 to 100% at the three sites, depending on the wind speed and direction

    Tinjauan Hukum Islam Terhadap Jual Beli Dengan Alat Tukar Koin Kereweng (Studi Kasus Di Kuliner Tradisional Dhoplang Wonogiri)

    Kuliner Tradisional Dhoplang is located in Pandan Village, Slogohimo District, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java. All transactions in this culinary market use a wooden coins. Coins made from wooden sticks cut into small pieces are also commonly called kereweng. The purpose of this study is to answer some of the problems that arise; to find out how the practice of transactions with wooden kereweng coins in Kuliner Tradisional Dhoplang and knowing the views of Islamic law about transactions with wooden kereweng coins as a medium of exchange. In this study, the authors use qualitative methods to obtain and process information. The author also uses an anthropological approach to understand and relate the theory to the data that the author has obtained in the field. The results showed that the practice of transactions with kereweng in Kuliner Tradisional Dhoplang was in accordance with Islamic law, the pillars and conditions had been met, and did not contain gharar. The law of buying and selling with wooden kereweng coins in the scope of Dhoplang Traditional Culinary can be said to be legal
