Parvati techno cast (Guj) pvt. ltd. (688, GIDC estate Makarpura, Vadodara, 390010) is the company which manufacture different mechanical components (100gm to 200kg weight) by using casting. Also manufacturing engineering services include machining of components which are produced by casting. At present situation company is having less productivity due to ineffective utilization of plant layout,...

In this practice article, we present the results of a scenario planning approach that is a hybrid of the three main schools of thought. Our research objective was to study the future of Interactive Digital Media applications such as online music, on-demand television and massively multi-player online role-playing games. Our approach, while essentially qualitative in nature, nevertheless draws f...

A stumbling point for many learning to fly fish is being able to fly cast well enough to ‘present’ a fly to a feeding fish. Even among more skilled fly fishers, learning to fly cast better is often a bottleneck towards advancement in the sport. Fly casting instruction today relies on the visual inspection of the fly casting stroke and the resulting ‘loop’ of fly line. These qualitative visual c...

This paper describes a method to generate Delaunay tetrahedral meshes directly from regular volume data by vertex insertion driven by an error criterion. By adapting the mesh to the input data, the method produces meshes suitable for fast and precise volume ray-casting. A partitioning method that splits the mesh into homogeneous sub-meshes is also presented. Such mesh segmentation strategy turn...

There is a growing need for custom visualization applications to deal with the rising amounts of volume data to be analyzed in fields like medicine, seismology, and meteorology. Visual programming techniques have been used in visualization and other fields to analyze and visualize data in an intuitive manner. However, this additional step of abstraction often results in a performance penalty du...

Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

The dimensionless Niyama criterion was used to predict the formation of microporosity in nickel-based superalloy casting, which extended the model application from a simple plate casting to complex thin-wall superalloy casting. The physical characteristics of the superalloy were calculated by JMatPro software. The relation between the volume percentage of microporosity and the dimensionless Niy...

Repair welding (RW) with wire cladding is a common procedure to extend the in-service life of heavily loaded tool parts for die and mould industries 1-5 . The main advantages of repair welding are short downtime and cost efficiency compared to production of new tool part. Repair welding in general lowers the tool cost in the final part and enables higher added value to the die casting and injec...

Abstract Concrete is one of the fundamental materials in construction industry. Typically, concrete composed sand, cement, aggregate, and added water to cement ratio. To enhance sustainability reduce negative effect on environment from industrial waste, recycling waste material into mixture becoming an area research by substituting some ingredients with recycled order amount fine natural aggreg...

There are many situations in which mis-coordinated strategic voting can leave strategic voters worse off than they would have been had they not tried to strategize. We analyse the simplest of such scenarios, in which the set of strategic voters all have the same sincere preferences and all cast the same strategic vote, while all other voters vote sincerely. Most mis-coordinations in this framew...
