Both cereal proteins (e.g. corn zein, wheat gluten, soy) and animal proteins (e.g. dairy, collagen, gelatin and myfibrillar proteins) are commonly employed to produce agricultural packaging materials[1].Wheat gluten may be a candidate to replace synthetic polymers in many non-food applications because of its unique viscoelastic properties and the ease with which its heterogeneous primary structure can be modified.
Recent research has showed that modification of wheat gluten with a tri-thiol additive can toughen the otherwise brittle wheat gluten material [4].
Ultrasonic method has been attracted more and more interests in food, material and chemical industry.

Effect of Footfall Induced Vibration on Footbridges Aw Jia Hao1,a, Mohammed Parvez Anwar1,b and Wael Elleithy1,c* 1,2,3Department of Civil Engineering, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus Selangor 43500, Malaysia akeex4ajo@nottingham.edu.my, banwar.parvez@nottingham.edu.my, cwael.elleithy@nottingham.edu.my Keywords: footfall, concrete footbridges, composite footbridges, finite element modelling, dynamic response Abstract.
Lighter materials are used in footbridges due to improved mechanical characteristics of materials, making the structures adaptable to modern and slender designs.
Step frequency is one of the key parameters in estimation of bridge vibration.
The agreed set of damping ratio for different materials used in construction industry was suggested by Bachmann et al., where steel and reinforced concrete having damping ratio of 0.2% and 0.8% respectively [9].
Any further increase in slab thickness results in higher mass and more construction materials to be used with insignificant reduction in dynamic response.

Introduction Advanced metallic materials commonly exhibit several deformation mechanisms resulting in complicated deformed microstructures.
Averaged engineering strain values were retrieved from the corresponding strain maps and used to calculate the true stress-strain values.
These can only cross slip after stress- and thermally assisted local recombination, hence the planar slip prevalence in materials with low stacking fault energy.

Currently, the EU Commission is deciding on restrictions in the usage of energy and auxiliary materials to support the reduction of environmental impact in machine usage [4].
Following [11, 12], resources are natural resources, i.e. renewable and non renewable primary raw materials, physical space, environ-mental media, flow resource, and biodiversity.
Material is raw material, consumables and auxiliaries as well as unfinished goods.
Other challenges, which need to be solved subsequently, include the development of key performance indicators.

Only analyzing the reliability of its supply chain through scientific method and finding out the key evaluation indexes can experts take proper measures to optimize the oil logistics network as well as to improve the whole supply chain’s reliability.
In recent years, the problem of supply chain reliability has been paid more and more attention because of demand uncertainty, especially after Wen Chuan Earthquake in which there are many supply chain problems about material distribution under emergency.
Yuanhong Liu, Ming Luo and Zhongying Liu defines reliability from the view of reliability engineering theory as the magnitude of trouble-free working ability of supply chain system, referring the capability to normally run within certain time in perfect competitative market [2].
Third, find out the key indicators and establish the evaluation index system.

The loaded wheel by grinding of difficult-to-cut materials has been generally considered as same as ones whose cutting edges worn out, and its grindactivity has been recover by dressing [5].
The loading chips are mechanically removed with abrasive grains and bonding materials from the wheel surface by dressing, and abrasive grains under the previous wheel surface show up.
