Preliminary results obtained by a code aimed to the analysis of three-dimensional (3D) instability of axisymmetric melt flows in Czochralski crucible are described. The CPU time and the computer memory necessary for the comprehensive 3D stability analysis by a second-order finite volume method are estimated. Basing on a certain experimental configuration, we give an example of the stability dia...

The classic approach to preparation of XRF specimens of inhomogeneous materials is the method of flux/fusion. This technique has not been applied to automotive catalysts because they utilize large quantities of precious metals (Pt, Pd, Rh) that are reduced at typical fusion temperatures and agglomerate and alloy with the crucible walls, leading to erratic losses of the precious metals. This eff...

Relatively little has been written about the military women who served in Vietnam, and there is virtually no literature on deployed civilian women (non-military). We examined the experiences of 1285 American women, military and civilian, who served in Vietnam during the war and responded to a mail survey conducted approximately 25 years later in which they were asked to report and reflect upon ...

A heat treatment furnace using anthill has been designed and fabricated. Developing our local content in the production of furnaces will be a major boost bid to take prominent position foundry metallurgical engineering. It contribute checking excess waste on foreign scarce resources spent importation crucible furnaces. Growing technology is very important promoting us into global recognition as...

The focus of the present paper is the design of multi-player role-playing game instances as crucible experiences for the exploration of one’s emotional intelligence. Subsequent sections describe the design of game-based, intercultural crucible experiences and how this design was employed for training with members of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This work with the USMC is presented as ...
