In order to determine long term performance of plasma facing components such as diverters and first walls for fusion devices, next generation plasma generators are needed. A Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) has been proposed to address this need through the generation of plasmas in front of the target with electron temperatures of 1-15 eV and electron densities of 10 to 10 m. Heat flu...

Electron beam welding (EBW) shows certain problems with the control of focus regime. The electron beam focus can be controlled in electron-beam welding based on the parameters of a secondary signal. In this case, the parameters like secondary emissions and focus coil current have extreme relationships. There are two values of focus coil current which provide equal value signal parameters. There...

Thirty-one Karayaka ram lambs were slaughtered at different body weights (30 (n =  7), 35 (n =  6), 40 (n =  7), 45 (n =  6), and 50 (n =  5) kg of body weight at fast) to evaluate the growth of their gastrointestinal tract (GIT) characteristics, to determine the relationship among slaughter body weight (SBW) and empty body weight (EBW), whole GIT and segments, and the influence of slaughter we...

In this work, the characterization of the assembly of a steel shaft into a γ-TiAl part for turbocharger application, obtained using Electron Beam Welding (EBW) technology with a Ni-based filler, was carried out. The Ti-48Al-2Nb-0.7Cr-0.3Si (at %) alloy part was produced by Electron Beam Melting (EBM). This additive manufacturing technology allows the production of a lightweight part with comple...

Discriminative learning methods are known to work well in pattern classification tasks and often show benefits compared to generative learning. This is particularly true in case of model mismatch, i.e. the model cannot represent the true data distribution. In this paper, we derive discriminative maximum margin learning for hidden Markov models (HMMs) with emission probabilities represented by G...

Enset is an important root crop widely used as a staple food for millions of people in Ethiopia. Despite to enset dominantly produced southern and south western parts the county, diverse diseases insect pests are challenging its growth productivity at these production areas. Hence, this review was aimed discuss integrated pest management (IPM) system that control major (disease inset) different...

As complete elimination of porosity from the weld is very difficult, next option available to minimize this porosity, which crucial for safe performance welded components. However, investigation through experiments alone tedious and time consuming. Additionally, limited models are in literature accurate prediction different attributes. The present study, thus, addressees both experimental as we...
