Abstract: The determination of the blast protection level of civil engineering buildings components against explosive effects represents a design topic of crucial importance, in current practice. However, some key aspects of blast resistant structures design have been only marginally considered in the last decade, and currently still require appropriate regulations. This is especially true in the case of glass windows and facades, where the intrinsic material brittleness is the major influencing parameter for blast-resistant assemblies. While blast assessment of buildings and systems is usually achieved by means of experimental investigations, as well as Finite-Element numerical simulations, general regulations and guidelines are currently missing. In this regard, the European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection - Task Group (ERNCIP-TG) “Resistance of Structures to Explosion Effects” attempts to develop guidelines and recommendations aimed to harmonise test procedures in experimental testing of glass windows under blast, as well as standardized approaches for their vulnerability assessment via Finite Element numerical modelling. In this paper, major ERNCIP-TG outcomes and next challenges are briefly summarized.

Abstract: The MBD technology use a integration model to express all of the product geometry information and process planning information, and make it becomes the only basis for the subsequent process design and tooling design. It will cause a revolution in the digital automobile manufacturing technology, and really open a 3D digitizing automobile manufacturing era. So it is important and nessary to research the MBD based application method in process of automotive manufacturing. In this paper, the MBD based application framework was put forward to realize full digital, no-drawing automotive manufacturing technology. It was constituted by MBD based digital product definition and coordinate system, process flow centered process data organization and management system, digital process field application system. At the same time, the key technology to realize the MBD based application framework was analyzed. The essence of MBD, master model based product data organization, data maturity based collaborative process control and configuration management was expounded in detail. In addition, the standardization system of MBD based manufacturing technology was described.

Abstract: The Bombyx mori serves as model organism among the Lepidoptera insects. In the post-genomic era, in order to study gene function, the profiling of mRNA transcription has become a popular research field. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) has become established as the sensitive method for detecting the expression level of low abundance mRNA, and it usually chooses one or several reference genes to standardize the expression level of target gene. Since the changes in amplification of reference gene can reflect the changes of RNA production, quality or cDNA synthesis efficiency. So choosing an appropriate reference gene can reduce the differences between tested samples. Based on the comparison of Standardization of three frequently-used reference genes (GAPDH, Actin-3, 28srRNA), and decide which is the best way to study gene expression level in silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Abstract: Due to relatively successful application of TiO2 photocatalysis in the field of self-cleaning surfaces, a reliable and appropriate quantitative method for determining the self-cleaning efficiency of the products (photocatalyst films on different supports) should be widely recognized and established. Currently, the two standard methods are based on photobleaching of methylene blue aqueous solution in contact with thin solid catalyst layer, and on photodegradation of a solid fatty deposit (e.g. stearic acid) over catalyst layer followed indirectly by water contact angle (CA) measurements. Another method proposed recently is based on the entrapment of an organic dye in a solid polymer matrix deposited over the photocatalyst layer. Upon illumination, the dye (e.g. resazurin) is reduced by the photogenerated electrons to the form of a different colour or to the bleached form. Recently, a new method for determination of self-cleaning activity of photocatalytic surfaces was developed in our laboratory. It is based on the deposition of a transparent solid layer comprising terephthalic acid over the photocatalytic surface. When such a system is irradiated, among the other degradation products also a hydroxyterephthalic acid is formed due to a reaction between photoexcited TiO2 and terephthalic acid. Hydroxyterephthalic acid is a highly fluorescent molecule and can be easily detected by HPLC-FLD or spectrofluorimeter. Many different samples were tested using this method and using the standard method based on photodegradation of a solid fatty deposit over the catalyst layer. Regarding the sample (substrate) type, the focus was given to the self-cleaning ceramic tiles coated with TiO2-SiO2 thin films that were produced in cooperation with the major manufacturer of floor ceramic tiles in Slovenia, Martex d.o.o.. In case of self-cleaning ceramics and some other sample types, the advantages of the new method over standard methods were highlighted and critically evaluated.

Abstract: 4Ps (Proof of concept, Product development, Production, Product Retirement) framework of tooling development and management processes has been established to improve tooling design and manufacture workflow, communication, quality, OTD(On-Time Delivery). A creation of a scalable and flexible best-of-breed workflow from proof of concept phase to production retirement phase has been introduced and strongly supported the needs of each development team of tooling project. The creation and standardization of 4Ps framework have clearly identified and explored the activities, responsibilities and deliverables of tooling project team, throughout the tooling life cycle. Some toolmakers of famous IT companies have benefited considerably by applying these processes.
