Browsing through interwar editions of Industrial Welfare,1 a journal which represented the interests of industrial welfare supervisors, one might easily in a moment of lapsed concentration imagine that it was a home and garden journal. Interspersed with articles on sports and timekeeping are numerous pieces extolling the virtues of model companies, illustrated with photographs of factory kitche...

At Arizona State University, we are completing the implementation of a novel infrastructure for a concentration track in embedded systems that combines important aspects of academic content with the latest in research and industrial practices. The concentration track emphasizes fundamental issues such as the balance between hardware and software and the respective tradeoffs of building embedded...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Bioenergy is a phenomenon that has attracted humans’ attention for about a century. The desirable biological properties of chlorella sp.microalgae have turned it to one of the most ideal options for the production of biodiesel. However, the economic issues must be taken into account in its industrial scale production. The present study aims t...

biomonitoring is the one of the cost-effective and simple ways for investigation of environmental quality and refers to process which in that using living organisms or part of them can obtain quantitative information on environmental quality. industrial activities causes to entrance considerable amount of heavy metals to the atmosphere and use of boimonitoring potential of plants growing in the...

Industrial effluent containing heavy metals, on entering aquatic environment causes biochemical disturbances in the fish. The present study deals with the toxicity of Zinc as (ZnSO4), as a component of industrial waste and its effect on tissue glycogen and protein level at 24, 48, 72 & 96 hrs respectively .The estimated glycogen and protein concentration in the tissuesgills, liver, kidney, ovar...

This paper provides an overview of existing technologies to measure flow parameters, such as material velocity and material concentration, in industrial transportation processes of particulate and powdery solids with a focus on pneumatic conveying. Restrictions, advantages and drawbacks of state of the art measurement principles are discussed. We show that capacitance-based sensing with suitabl...

A survey of industrial pollution was carried out in Anambra State of Nigeria between February 1992 and June 1993. The survey showed that Idemili, Onitsha and Nnewi Local Government Areas have the greatest concentration of industries in the state and stand a high risk of industrial pollution unless steps are taken to put the issue of waste disposal under strick check. Some of the industries in t...

Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients may be strongly reduced by scale formation, even for conditions where the bulk foulant concentration is well below the saturation concentration. Due to the mechanism of micro-layer evaporation, the local concentration at the heat transfer surface can be considerably increased, causing the formation of scale and changes in bubble frequency and bubble d...

Since the quality of sperm is affected by water industrial or agriculture pollution, sperm motility was measured as a sensitive and accurate bioindicator of water quality. In this study, sperm motility was measured by a computer assisted sperm analysis after 24 hours exposure of sperm to different concentration of heavy metals) Cadmium and Zinc). The results show that the sperm motility was not...
