The aim of this research is to design a controlling loop that eliminates the irregularities in yarn tension during the winding process. In order to achieve this, we employed a relative feedback industrial control system. The yarn tension sensor measures the tension. Its output is analyzed in the automatic controlling unit. This unit adjusts the tension level according to feedback signals, thus ...

IN THIS ARTICLE we analyze the theories of utility put forth by Rothbard (2004) and Kirzner (1963). While both authors are strongly influenced by Mises’ (1998) conception of the utility of a good being the end that must be foregone in the absence of that good (or attained in the presence of that good), we observe a tension in Kirzner’s rendition. In particular, he embraces the neoclassicist fra...

Looper and tension control is important in hot strip mills because it affects the strip quality as well as strip threading. Moreover, the most difficult challange in the controller design and control performance comes from the interaction between looper angle and strip tension. Disturbances from several sources also cause a deterioration in control performance, and thus they should be rejected ...

This paper reconsiders Andrei Shleifer and Robert Vishny’s suggestion that a socialist industry will always prefer to cut both price and output relative to a market– clearing equilibrium in order to maximise bribe income. The evidence from recent archival studies of the Soviet economy does not support this conjecture. To understand the evidence we present an analytical framework within which a ...

Just as China has struggled with bringing an expanding economy to a country with large areas of economic underdevelopment, the Chinese health care system is experiencing tension between tradition and modernization. Because of this tension, health care in the Peoples' Republic of China has been undergoing significant reform since the beginning of the 1980s. Experiments in market-based health sys...

WUh the digital revolution narrated as the means for social cohesion in the globally competitive national economy, policy and corporate moves are afoot to increase the inclusion of women into the ICT arena, particularly those who have traditionally remained on the fringes of societal inclusion such as lone women parents. By equipping them with ICT skills, such as network engineering, and utiliz...

GAHIDE, SEVERINE FRANCOISE. Exploration of Micromachines to Textiles: Monitoring Warp Tension and Breaks during the Formation of Woven Fabrics (Under the direction of Drs. George Hodge and Abdelfattah Seyam.) MicroElectroMechanical Systems, or MEMS, is an emerging high technology that has proven to be very successful in several industries such as medical, automotive and ink jet industries. The ...

First, following the knowledge-based view, we examine whether market exploration and market e...

This paper examines whether the different types of block shareholdings will have a different impact on the extent of Web voluntary disclosure during the differential privatization stages. Prior literature suggests that block ownership may have a substitutive or complementary monitoring effect on corporate disclosure. However, for economies transferring from state endowment to being privately he...
