This paper investigates the methodology employed in the recent survey and reconstruction of the major Early Byzantine domed churches of western Asia Minor. This involved both the documentation of construction details, as well as their interpretation by reference to coeval monuments elsewhere. Focusing on this methodology, the author explores techniques of graphical recording and the theoretical...

This study uses mathematical modeling to examine a multi-product economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model with an enhanced end items issuing policy and rework failures. We assume that a multi-product EMQ model randomly generates nonconforming items. All of the defective are reworked, but a certain portion fails and becomes scraps. When rework process ends and the entire lot of each product i...

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) promise to deliver a bigger, brighter future in terms of encouraging “the voluntary development and implementation of innovative pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and quality assurance” while ensuring patient safety and increasing profitability for the life sciences industry. No matter how you slice it, reducing raw material and batch losses, preventi...

Surface Penetrating Radars (SPR) are extensively used in Military, Civil, Geophysical and Archaeological applications. In recent times there has been an increasing emphasis on the use of SPRs in the identification of the buried unexploded ordnance, such as anti tank mines, antipersonnel mines etc., which can be metallic or plastic in nature. Mine detection methods can be classified as destructi...

some simple directions for their treatment, the whole interpersed with occasional scraps of poetry. " Regular washing of the body is," we are told "indispensable for nursing mothers in order to keep the pores of the skin perfectly clean." "Children should be strictly prohibited from using wine, beer or brandy, which is productive of serious derangement. There is an instance where the bowels of ...

Composting is a good recycling method to fully utilise all the organic wastes present in kitchen waste due to its high nutritious matter within the waste. In this present study, the optimised mixture proportions of kitchen waste containing vegetable scraps (V), fish processing waste (F) and newspaper (N) or onion peels (O) were determined by applying the simplex-centroid mixture design method t...

The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...
