Chairs' welcome message

PrefaceThe previous First International Conference on Advances in Energy Resources and Environment Engineering (ICAESEE 2015) was organized by Northeast Petroleum University, China and successfully taken place on March 14-15, 2015 in Daqing, China.The 2016 2nd International Conference on Advances in Energy Resources and Environment Engineering (ICAESEE 2016) has been held on December 30-31, 2016 in Guangzhou, China. ICAESEE 2016 is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of energy resources and environment engineering to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in energy resources and environment engineering and another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working all around the world. The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in energy resources and environment engineering and related areas.The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in energy resources and environment engineering and related areas. We invite original papers describing an idea or concept, addressing issues and problems, or focusing empirically on potential or realistic fields.In order to organize ICAESEE 2016, we have sent our invitation to scholars and researchers from all around the world. Eventually, over 200 submissions were submitted to us. These papers have gone through a strict reviewing process performed by our international reviewers and 74 papers have been accepted. All the submissions were double-blind reviewed, both the reviewers and the authors remaining anonymous. First, all the submissions were divided into several chapters according to the topics, and the information of the authors, including name, affiliation, email and so on, removed. Then the TPC chairs assigned the submissions to reviewers according to their research interests. Each submission was reviewed by two reviewers. The review results should be sent to chairs on time. If two reviewers had conflicting opinions, the paper would be transmitted to the third reviewer assigned by the chairs. Only papers which were approved by all reviewers were accepted for publication.We sincerely express our thanks to all the members of 2016 2nd International Conference on Advances in Energy Resources and Environment Engineering (ICAESEE 2016). Thanks are also given to IOP publisher for producing this volume.Conference Chair of ICAESEE 2016Shiquan ZhouHuazhong University of Science and Technology, ChinaICAESEE 2016 Organizing CommitteesConference ChairsAssoc.

In this study, we conduct a survey of small seismic events from 1 May 2017 to 25 April 2018 near North Korea’s nuclear test site. We report 88 seismic events, including the 2017 nuclear test, the collapse event 8.5 min later, and 86 earthquakes afterward. Among the 86 earthquakes, 11 are well constrained to be distributed along a near north–south direction within a region of 2 km, ∼8.4 km north of the test site. The null detection before the 2017 test and the intense seismicity after the test, along with the predicted normal tensile stress the 2017 test applied on the fault, provide strong evidence that the 2017 test triggered these earthquakes. Some characteristics (the distance to the nuclear test center, depth, and magnitude) of these triggered aftershocks fit the general characteristics of the aftershocks in the Nevada National Security Site and the Semipalatinsk test site after nuclear tests, but the aftershocks of North Korea’s 2017 test exhibit a different evolution lasting at least eight months with two bursts occurring on early December 2017 and early February 2018 and an otherwise general low occurrence rate, possibly caused by a different geological setting of the test site.

Metal forming is a crucial and irreplaceable manufacturing technology, since it can efficiently produce components with micro-nano size, large size, complex structure and excellent performances used in the fields of aerospace, automotive, nuclear, ocean engineering, etc. Metal forming involves in the variation of geometrical shape and microstructure under the interactions of force, thermal, electric and magnetic, and the realization of coordinated control of shape and property is the widespread goal of metal forming. With the rapid development of modern society, light-weight, short process, extreme forming, green forming, and intelligent control have become the primary keywords of metal forming. Hence, developing new forming processes or innovating the traditional processes always attract the interests of scientists, academics and engineers. The International Conference on Metal Forming exactly provides a very good academic platform for the researchers throughout the world to share and communicate their latest findings in metal forming.The International Conference on Metal Forming was founded by AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland, in 1974. From 1994 to 2010, the Conference was organized every two years, jointly with University of Birmingham, UK. In 2010, University of Birmingham was replaced by Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan, and the Conference went to Japan for the first time. Metal forming 2012 was organized by AGH University of Science and Technology, together with Toyohashi University of Technology and University of Palermo, Italy. Metal forming 2014 and 2016 were respectively held by University of Palermo and AGH University of Science and Technology, whereas the Conference was organized by Toyohashi University of Technology in 2018 and came back to AGH University of Science and Technology in 2020. This year, the 19th International Conference on Metal Forming (Metal Forming 2022) was held online through a combination of live and video streaming due to the impact of global COVID-19 on September 11-14 by the China Society for Technology of Plasticity, CMES, P.R. China.The conference papers of the 19th International Conference on Metal Forming are collected in this issue. During the conference, 293 papers (including abstracts) were submitted by authors representing universities, research institutes and industry from 16 countries, and 124 papers are included in the issue of IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering. In terms of the research objects, materials such as steel, aluminium alloys and titanium alloys are still the focus, while materials such as high-temperature alloys and hard-to-deform alloys have received significantly more attention as well, and the theoretical research on material property, microstructure evolution, mechanical analysis of deformation processes and constitutive modeling have been continuously improved. In terms of forming processes, traditional forming processes such as forging, extrusion, stamping, rolling, etc. have been further developed in terms of deformation theory and process optimization, and the research on special forming technologies such as electromagnetic forming, ultrasonic vibration-assisted forming, flexible incremental forming, micro-forming, and laser forming, etc. have become more mature. With the continuous optimization and innovation of materials and forming processes, as well as the accuracy, reliability, and automation & intelligent development of forming equipment, the forming of many complex components with demanding requirements on precision, performance, and service environment has become increasingly possible.List of Steering Committee, Scientific Committee, Conference Chairs, Local Organizing Committee, Chief Editors are available in this Pdf.

: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, an integration of the four disciplines, has been promoted in schools and universities in Malaysia. However, the teachers' readiness in applying STEM has been an apprehension of not only the school administrators, but also the public. The implementation of STEM is observed from the teachers' abilities to organize learning environments that are created to strengthen students' 21st-century skills. As such, the teachers' ability to implement and execute the plan are a concern. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify and evaluate preservice teachers' perceptions of their readiness, experiences, and effort in practising STEM education, as well as their degree of confidence in STEM education teaching and learning. A correlational research design was employed in this research to collect data from 113 science-based pre-service teacher trainees in a public university in Malaysia. The participants answered the questionnaire on their perceptions of their experiences and confidence level in learning STEM skills in their university courses and their views towards activities on STEM. Reflecting on the findings, this study has implications for the pre-service teacher trainees (students), faculty and organization as a whole in the preparation towards the execution of STEM in terms of strategies and intervention in school. This is especially advantageous for the university to raise awareness of the benefits of university STEM-related programs to a diverse background of students.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly hydrophilic and negatively charged sialoprotein of approximately 298 amino acids that contains a Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser sequence. It is a secreted protein with diverse regulatory functions, including cell adhesion and migration, tumor growth and metastasis, atherosclerosis, aortic valve calcification, and repair of myocardial injury. Despite the many recognized functions of OPN, very little is known of the transcriptional regulation of OPN. In this regard, we have previously demonstrated that OPN transcription and promoter activity are significantly up-regulated in response to NO in a system of endotoxin-stimulated murine macrophages. However, the specific cis- and trans-regulatory elements that determine the extent of endotoxin- and NO-mediated induction of OPN synthesis are unknown. In this follow-up study, we demonstrate that: 1) OPN gene transcription is regulated by a constitutive transcriptional repressor protein, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (hnRNP A/B); 2) inhibition of in vivo hnRNP DNA binding activity is accompanied by increased S-nitrosylation of hnRNP A/B in the setting of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated NO synthesis; 3) inhibition of LPS mediated NO synthesis restores hnRNP DNA binding and decreases the extent of S-nitrosylation; and 4) S-nitrosylation of hnRNP at cysteine 104 inhibits in vitro DNA binding activity, which is reversed by dithiothreitol. Our findings suggest that LPS induced S-nitrosylation of hnRNP inhibits its activity as a constitutive repressor of the OPN promoter and results in enhanced OPN expression.
