In the present study, M2 high speed steels were fabricated by using electro-slag rapid remelting process. Carbide structure was analysed and the fracture toughness and hardness were also measured after austenitization treatment at 1190 and 1210C followed by tempering treatment at 535C for billets with various diameters from 16 to 60 mm. Electro-slag rapid remelting (ESRR) process is an advanced...

Developing a theoretical framework for electro-acoustic music presents an array of problems not present in the analysis of Western tonal and post-tonal music. We present a theoretical framework characterized by the interaction of a perceptual and an analytic model. The perception of a composition is used to inform the analytic model. The analytic model examines aspects of a composition ranging ...

For many organizations, the continuous optimization of their business processes has become a critical success factor. Several related methods exist that enable step-by-step redesign processes. However, these are mainly performed manually and require both creativity process expertise, which is often hard to combine in practice. To enhance quality effectiveness redesign, this paper presents conce...
