Experiments on granule transport and the mean residence time in a rotary horizontal drum with inclined flights showed that the granules can be transported steadily. A model for granule transport based on the analysis of granule motion and other studies on inclined drums was developed to calculate the mean residence time of the granules, and verification experiments under different conditions we...

The nucleotide sequence for red drum somatolactin (SL) cDNA was determined and the expression of pituitary SL mRNA was examined in red drum kept under various light conditions. A full length of SL cDNA (1629 bp) was isolated and characterized from a red drum pituitary cDNA library. The SL cDNA has an open reading frame of 696 nucleotides which encodes a 24-amino-acid signal peptide and a 207-am...

The present study sets out to investigate the narrator’s textual position in Grass’s The Tin Drum. Although authorial self-dramatization through affinities with one or more characters in the work is undeniable, this study mainly concentrates on the inner interpenetrations of heteroglot utterances as uttered by an unreliable first-person narrator, Oskar Matzerath, in the light of the Bakhtinian ...

Its main design parameters and characteristics virtual stand used in study described. brief description physical model interaction seeds working given. As a result study, data were obtained on capacity hopper ...

Grinding/crushing is a process of reducing the size in crushing plant to get desired size. The coal ball mill technique where collides with feed on tube wall, thus cracks will form which result smaller Limitation problem this study effect speed time and grain resulting from milling process, mass sample used 500 grams sizes that do not pass 10 mesh sieve, there are three types pulley variations,...

The A.C. Field Measurement technique was originally developed as a non-contacting version of the A.C. Potential Drop technique, with the aim of accurately measuring the depth of surface-breaking fatigue cracks at welds underwater. Since then, the technique has expanded into many diverse applications, both underwater and in air. This paper describes the evolution of ACFM equipment from the first...

Standard electronic drum pads are equipped with one piezoelec­ tric sensor that converts stick strikes to electronic pulses which are measured and used to trigger pre-recorded samples or other sounds. Advanced models can measure the amplitude of this pulse and adjust the volume of the resultant sample or even select a different sample en­ tirely. The state of the art electronic drums are equipp...

– Mixing of two fractions of a granular material in a slowly rotating two-dimensional drum is considered. The rotation is around the axis of the upright drum. The drum is filled partially, and mixing occurs only at a free surface of the material. We propose a simple theory of the mixing process which describes a real experiment surprisingly well. The dependence of the mixing time on the drum fi...
