Religions as a source of (dis)order

Would it be fair to say that religious people in general are more suspicious of the believers of other religions than of those who claim to have no faith at all? If the pivotal role of religiosity consists in bringing meaning and order to human life, why should different religions see their respective “orders” as threatening one another? Isn’t it possible to trust in the midst of the multi-ordered reality of world faiths while acknowledging the presence (in all religions) of the untruth despite all the truth? This paper seeks to explore those and similar questions by means of elaborating on religions as potential contributors to a global ecumenism. Building upon insights of Charles Taylor and Hans Küng, I show in what sense the world religions can be considered the source of order as well as disorder and how the plurality of religiouslybased “orders” can be accepted and embraced with trust rather than suspicion

The effect of condition of the charge surface on the scale adhesion for excess air combustion

In the process of heating steel the processes of chemical interaction occur between the furnace atmosphere and the surface of the steel being heated. Great importance, in aspect of course of the oxidizing process equal as well as for phenomenon of scale adhesion on the charge surface, condition of his surface has. Roughness is parameter defining condition of surface. The methodology of investigations of scale adhesion in work was presented. The methodology of measurement of roughness surface was introduced. Influence of surface roughness on the scale adhesion was described. The paper presents correlation of the scale adhesion but roughness of surface

Effect of furnace efficiency on scale adhesion in the steel charge heating process

The paper presents the results of research on the influence of the efficiency of a metallurgical heating furnace on the adhesion of scale formed during the heating process of the steel charge. The methodology for measuring the adhesion of scale to the steel substrate as well as the measurement stand by means of which the research plan was carried out were presented. In addition, the method for determining the heating curves for selected furnace performance and measurement results are presented. The calculation results demonstrating the effect of efficiency on scale adhesion are summarized

Effect of heating technology on scale adhesion in the steel charge heating process

The adhesion of scale to the steel substrate is an important parameter in the charge heating process before plastic processing. A low value of adhesion adversely affects the operation of heating furnaces, while too high value causes the scale to roll into a steel product and deteriorate its purity and quality. The paper presents the methodology of adhesion determination and the results obtained on the basis of the presented methodology. The influence of heating technology on adhesion for constant furnace efficiency and different values of excess air ratio is discussed. The furnace efficiency and the excess air ratio are the basic parameters of the process. It is extremely important in the context of the challenges of optimizing production processes, which in turn is an important element of the circular economy

Experimental measurements of scale adhesion for a pre-oxidized steel charge

In industrial practice, the charge is heated before the forming process and often reaches the furnace “cold”. This means that after leaving the continuous casting of steel, for various reasons it is not heated immediately, but stored instead. This causes not only the cooling of the charge but also its oxidation in the atmosphere of the surrounding air. The paper presents the research methodology and discusses the results of adhesion measurements for a preoxidized steel charge

2-Unsubstituted Imidazole N-Oxides as Novel Precursors of Chiral 3-Alkoxyimidazol-2-ylidenes Derived from trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane and Other Chiral Amino Compounds

‘Desymmetrization’ of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane by treatment with α,ω-dihalogenated alkylation reagents leads to mono-NH2 derivatives (‘primary-tertiary diamines’). Upon reaction with formaldehyde, these products formed monomeric formaldimines. Subsequently, reactions of the formaldimines with α-hydroxyiminoketones led to the corresponding 2-unsubstituted imidazole N-oxide derivatives, which were used here as new substrates for the in situ generation of chiral imidazol-2-ylidenes. Upon O-selective benzylation, new chiral imidazolium salts were obtained, which were deprotonated by treatment with triethylamine in the presence of elemental sulfur. Under these conditions, the intermediate imidazol-2-ylidenes were trapped by elemental sulfur, yielding the corresponding chiral non-enolizable imidazole-2-thiones in good yields. Analogous reaction sequences, starting with imidazole N-oxides derived from enantiopure primary amines, amino alcohols, and amino acids, leading to the corresponding 3-alkoxyimidazole-2-thiones were also studied
