Exploring Social Exchange Theory Dynamics in Native American Casino Settings

The proliferation of Native American casino (NAC) gambling over the past few decades has generated a concern over the social, economic, and environmental impacts. This study examined the local resident perceptions of casino gambling impacts and their subsequent support for the NACs within the Social Exchange Theory (SET) framework. It further applied a similar framework to the non-NAC settings. While majority of the impact constructs failed to generate support for the NACs in the presence of intervening variables, a significant application of SET appeared among the non-NAC communities. Benefits were found to be significant for facilitating higher levels of support for the nonNACs. Overall, the results indicated that SET is not a universal phenomena and nature of casino ownership is more likely to influence residents\u27 level of support

STUDY OF THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF GAS HYDRATES OF METHANE IN THE PRESENCE OF SURFACE-ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

Досліджено вплив поверхнево-активних речовин на механізм утворення газових гідратів метану. Визначено значення критичної концентрації міцелоутворення (ККМ) розчинів дібутілфенола, обробленого окисом етилену (ДБ), а також синтанолів (ДС-10, ДС-20). Виявлено, що завдяки процесу солюбілізації відбувається утворення мікрогетерогенних наночасток, які призводять до зміни складу газогідратів і швидкості утворення Ключові слова: газогідрати метану, міцелоутворення, поверхневий натяг, міжфазовий електричний потенціал, швидкість утворенняИсследовано влияние поверхностно-активных веществ на механизм образования газовых гидратов метана.

Modelling the Effects of Friction on Tool-Chip Interface Temperature During Orthogonal Cutting of Al6061-T6 Aluminium Alloy

© IEOM Society International - IEOM 2019In this work, finite element simulations based on the analytical model derived with the MATLAB software were used to establish the temperature fields within the cutting tool and tool-chip interface. The average tool-chip interface temperature model was simulated and the simulation results were compared with experimental results for validation. At a maximum cutting speed of 90 m/min, the maximum temperature obtained from the experiment was 410 oC, at same rake angle of 0o. However, the developed model predicted 490 oC under the same conditions. The higher value obtained by the model can be attributed to the negligence of heat losses to the surrounding by both convection and radiation modes, as an assumption in the formulated model. A similar trend of these results was also recorded for the case of rake angle and feed rate of 30o and 0.0635 mm/rev, respectively. It was observed that the simulation results and experimental measurements for the average tool-chip interface temperature agreed significantly.Final Published versio
