Tin matrix nanocomposite coatings containing ZnO and NiO nanoparticles, both individually combined, were deposited on low carbon steel substrates. The aim was to investigate the effect of reinforcement nanoparticles microstructural morphology thickness tin coatings, modification in interfacial layer between coating substrate, corrosion resistance substrate. Optical scanning electron microscopy ...

In a tinplate line the coating thickness can be controlled by means of the line speed and current applied. A control strategy has been developed that calculates the maximum possible speed and the total necessary current, distributing it into the available rectifiers. The equations used for the calculations are based on a mathematical model obtained using Genetic Programming. Copyright ©’2002’ I...

Some years ago Net Perceptions was installing its recommender software in a major catalog retailer. Our top lead consultant had been working with them for months to integrate the software into their back-end databases and front-end call center software (no mean feat: these were Windows PCs simulating IBM “green screens”!), and tuning the recommender to produce high quality recommendations that ...

Results 2999 children were seen during this period with a range of allergic problems, including food allergy. 167 (5.6%) had experienced a definite clinical reaction to seafood (103 male, 62%); 94% had evidence of co-existent atopic disease. The most common seafood implicated were: Prawn (26%), Unspecified white fish (10%), Tuna (8%), Salmon (8%). In 14%, the exact type of fish could not be rec...

The purpose of this study was to compare the ideals of the Queensland P-10 Health and Physical Education (HPE) syllabus as a curriculum policy, with what was happening in practice, the teaching of Health and Physical Education in schools. It was envisaged that through this process good practice within schools could be identified and its implementation promoted. This paper is the first research ...

Industry competition is currently getting tighter; companies must produce quality products, deliver on time, and provide the best service to consumers. It can be real realized mini realised aste that occurs in production process achieve this. In this study, lean manufacturing will applied minimize waste by describing entire through Value Stream Mapping, identifying most dominant using Waste Ass...

Abstract Conductor on Round Core (CORC ® ) wires and cables, constructed from multiple layers of helically wound REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ tapes, are a promising cable technology for high field magnet applications. An important feature high-temperature superconductor cables is the ability to share current between conductors, allowing bypass drops in I c minimizing risk hot spot formation, which could ...

Much of the evidence presented in this paper is based on epidemiological studies investigating associations between meat intake and health/disease outcomes. Not all studies define what is meant by meat and, where definitions are offered, they are not always the same, which can make comparisons between studies difficult. Some studies include poultry under the definition of meat, while others exc...
