The aerodynamics of a jet of particles in a channel

The main cause for dust discharge is ejection, i.e. formation of directional air flows in a stream of a bulk material due to the dynamic interaction of bombarding particles with air. Discovery of induced air flow occurrence regularities enables both forecasting the level of air pollutions with aerosol emission and choosing the optimum engineering solutions of air containment and dedusting. So far we have studied solid particles flowing in a chute and a jet of loose matter. Both situations represent extreme cases of the more general problem of material flowing through a duct with different distances between flow boundaries and duct walls. Without detriment to generality of the problem we shall consider a flat flow limited by vertical walls

Polyhedrons over Finite Abelian Groups and Their Cryptographic Applications

We are using the group-theory methods for justification of algebraic method in cryptanalysis. The obtained results are using for investigation of Boolean functions cryptographic properties

Perfectly Balanced Functions in Symbolic Dynamics

In the present paper we study properties of perfectly balanced Boolean functions. Based on the concept of Boolean function barrier, we propose a novel approach to construct large classes of perfectly balanced Boolean functions

Aerosol fluxing in electro arc metallization

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The main structural and technological factors of electric arc metallizers, which significantly affect the quality of their operation, are considered. The results of experimental studies on the adhesion strength, porosity, microhardness and comparative wear resistance of coatings obtained by electroarc metallization are presented. Optimal modes of coating with electroarc metallization are determined. It is established that the use of aerosol fluxing during electric arc metallization provides an increase in adhesion-cohesive strength by 25 ⋯ 30%, an increase in microhardness to 40%, a decrease in porosity by 20 ⋯ 25%

Increase of the resource of machine parts working by combined methods using plasma electrolytic oxidation

© 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved. The paper presents the results of a study of the physicomechanical properties of oxide-ceramic coatings formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation on various aluminum alloys. It has been found that filling the pores of an oxide-ceramic coating with oil or applying a copper layer to its surface with a friction-mechanical method increases the wear resistance of movable joints of machine parts by 1.7 times and 4.5 times, respectively. Based on the complex of studies carried out, combined methods are proposed that significantly increase the life of reinforced parts of machines in operation

Distribution of Tryptophan-Dependent <I>Yersinia pestis</I> Variants in the Altai Mountain Natural Plague Focus

Carried out is the analysis of spatial location of tryptophan-dependent variants of plague microbe in the territory of Altai mountain plague natural focus. 1166 Y. pestis strains isolated in 1990–2010, were studied as regards nutrient requirements. 140 of them (12 %) were determined as tryptophan-dependent. The highest occurence of such strains was registered in Ulandryk focal region (21.6 % in average). Among strains isolated in Tarkhatin focal region only 2.3 % were tryptophan-dependent, and in Kuray region they were absent. Thus, the data obtained suggest that spatial heterogeneity of Y. pestis subsp. altaica in the focus takes place

Environmental and Technological Aspects of Converter Slag Utilization in Sintering and Blast-Furnace Production

Political and Cultural Transfers in a Time of Revolution. The Netherlands 1795-1805One of the hallmarks of modern historiography is its strong engagement with the national scene. Yet despite this, European countries have always exchanged ideas and practices and influenced each other. This was the case, for example, between 1795 and 1805, during which period the Dutch had to rethink their society and their government. To do this, they entered into a deep and creative dialogue with France in particular, as well as America. The manner in which this took place and its consequences are explored in this paper
