In the article performed an analysis of ore reclaiming and overloading point characteristics at modern opencast mines. Ore reclaiming represents the most effective way of stability support of power-intensive and expensive technological dressing process, and, consequently, of maintenance of the optimal production and set-up parameters of extraction and quality of finished product. The paper prop...

Laboratory for Petroleum and Petrochemical Process Engineering was established as a part of the Petroleum and Petrochemical Department at the Faculty of Chemical engineering and Technology and it was officially opened on July 4, 2011, within the AMACIZ scientific colloquium. The Laboratory was founded with the goal of enabling the research and development of processes treating and refining petr...

This work reports our research efforts towards developing efficient equipment for the automatic acoustic recognition of insects. In particular, we discuss the characteristics of the acoustic patterns of a target insect family, namely the cricket family. To address the recognition problem we apply a feature extraction methodology that has been inspired by well documented tactics of speech proces...

1.1 Offshore Structures: Offshore structures used for oil and gas extraction have the common function of providing a safe, dry working environment for the equipment and persons those operates the platform. Jacket supported drilling equipment as a guide for the piled foundations. The substructure referred to as the jacket is a three dimensional space frame made from large tubular steel members. ...

The energy stored in the beam and the magnets of the LHC is of unprecedented scale compared to other existing accelerators. The LHC machine is protected from an uncontrolled release of this energy by a large number of interlock channels. The LHC machine interlock system manages the interlock conditions and has as main task to trigger safe extraction of the energy stored in the electrical circui...

A 20 year-old female developed swelling and protrusions of the tongue and marked facial swelling while under general anaesthesia for dental restoration and gigivectomy. The initial diagnosis was angioedema; however x-rays showed marked subcutaneous emphysema more extensive in the perimandibular area with a minimal amount in the neck. There was no evidence of pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax. T...

Using strength Pulse Electrical Field (PEF) in food industries is a non-thermal process that can deactivate microorganisms and increase penetration in plant and animals tissues without serious impact on food taste and quality. In this paper designing and fabricating of a PEF generator has been presented. Pulse generation methods have been surveyed and the best of them selected. The equipment by...

Reliable feature extraction, condition monitoring, and fault modeling are critical to understanding equipment degradation and implementing the proper maintenance decisions in manufacturing processes. Semiconductor manufacturing machines are highly sophisticated systems, consisting of multiple interacting components operating in highly variable operating conditions. This complicates performance ...

Consistent production of solid drug materials of desired particle and crystallographic morphologies under cGMP conditions is a frequent challenge to pharmaceutical researchers. Supercritical fluid (SCF) technology gained significant attention in pharmaceutical research by not only showing a promise in this regard but also accommodating the principles of green chemistry. Given that this technolo...
