Overcoming Gas Detector Fault Alarm Due To Moisture

The issue of plant explosion due to gas leakage is a serious problem which impacts the lives of the personnel, damages plant equipments and requires high cost for maintenance. As this issue is a high risk at hazardous place such as combustible gas plant, so there is an important need for using gas detector which functions to detect gas leakage at a particular area. However, some gas detectors are less reliable in detecting gas due to presence of other unwanted elements which may cause the instruments to malfunction. The objective of the project is to eliminate those unwanted element in order to maintain the well functioning of the instrument. The report discusses the Infrared signal absorption by combustible gas and solution to eliminate moisture trapped in gas detector

Lucid Dream

Purpose: The purpose of this design was to create a garment that is beautiful but also practical. The look is inspired by grunge but also by romanticism and the occult. I wanted to portray a completely simplistic garment in a way that makes it seem so much more profound and adaptable to any style the wearer chooses to portray. Process: I found my initial inspiration by looking at Dark Beauty magazine, a gothic fashion magazine. From there, I searched on various online databases and put inspirational images into a design Pinterest board. The images combined to create a tribal but celestial mood, with an otherworldly etherealness. After I had the mood concrete, I began looking to my favorite clothing websites like Dolls Kill and Nasty Gal to decide what kind of garment I might want to construct. These websites have out of the norm looks and an overall grunge, alternative feel, while still accommodating to many style tribes. All of this considered, I decided to create a romper with a tied back and small ruffle details on the shoulders and bottom hem. Techniques: To make this design a reality, I used flat patterning and draping to create a pattern. From the pattern, I made a sample, which I then fitted to my model. Once the fit was perfected, I created the final garment which you see today. Contribution to fashion or innovation used: My contribution to fashion is the creation of a piece of clothing that can seamlessly adapt to many different style tribes. Materials: Lightweight gray cotton fabric, all-purpose thread, invisible zipper. This is one in a line of three garments; the entire line can be seen at the Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising spring fashion show, May 30, at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in Milo Smith Theater in McConnell Hall

Keeping Usufruct in the Family

Jusqu’à la seconde moitié du xviie siècle, les muftis s’accordèrent largement pour considérer que le droit de cultiver sur une terre labourée - l’usufruit - était une chasse-gardée masculine. Après cette date, leur point de vue changea de façon abrupte, adhérant ainsi aux directives émanant du gouvernement impérial ottoman qui étaient plus favorables aux femmes. Dans cet article, l’auteur considère que ces directives étaient une réponse à des demandes formulées par les paysans eux-mêmes, comme ceux de Damas, qui, considérait l’usufruit comme un fondement familial, qu’il soit porté par un homme ou par une femme. Les changements apportés à la loi et leur adoption met en lumière la participation conjointe de la paysannerie damascène et des juristes dans un contexte légal ottoman bien distinct.Prior to the second half of the 18th century, Damascene muftis largely agreed that the right to cultivate on plough land–usufruct–was a male exclusive right. Thereafter their views changed abruptly when they subscribed to guidelines issued by the Ottoman imperial government that were more favorable to women. The article argues that these guidelines were a response to the demands of peasant cultivators like those of Damascus, who whether male or female regarded usufruct as a family asset. Changes in the law and law passing highlight participation of both the Damascene peasantry and the jurists in a distinctively Ottoman legal context.حتى النصف الثاني من القرن السابع عشر، أجمع المُفتون إجماعًا واسعًا على اعتبار حق زراعة أرض مفلوحة، أي حق الانتفاع منها، هو حق مقتصر على الذكور فقط. وبعد هذا التاريخ، اختلفت وجهة نظرهم بشكل قاطع، فقد تبنّوا التوجيهات الصادرة عن حكومة الإمبراطورية العثمانية التي كانت أكثر ميلاً لصالح النساء. في هذه المقالة، يعتبر الكاتب أن هذه التوجيهات كانت استجابةً لطلبات صاغها الفلاحون أنفسهم، مثل فلاحي دمشق، وهذه الاستجابة تعتبر حق الانتفاع أساساً عائلياً، سواء أكان حقاً للرجل أم للمرأة. تسلّط التغييرات الطارئة على القانون وتبنّيها الضوء على التشارك بين عائلات الفلاحين الدمشقيين وبين الحقوقيين ضمن سياق قانوني عثماني متميز جدًا

Signs and Symbols: Art and Language in Art Therapy

This paper is a preliminary attempt at theory building by exploring the use of art and language in art therapy through a theoretical inquiry model. Inductive and deductive processes are used to explore literature from the fields of psychology, art philosophy (particularly aesthetics), and linguistics. Concepts common to each of these disciplines are then further explored through the lens of bilingual therapy. Practical applications are discussed, along with suggestions for future research

Transformative driven mechanism framework as key success indicators for blended learning / Malissa Maria Mahmud

Current literature shows that blended learning has inevitably permeated and transformed the landscape of educational practices. However, in the same vein, it also depicts less consideration given to the impending gaps in the blended learning experience, consequently indicating a paucity of evidence in the context of these technological interventions. This study aimed to examine and identify the Key Success Indicators (KSIs) for blended learning approaches. The research is delineated in seven research questions postulated to address the overall facets in blended learning: the powerful and the combined Effect Sizes (ESs), the definitions of blended learning, the types of technological intervention, the specific ratio or percentage of intervention, and the quality of indicators determined in the language related blended learning studies and other subjects related to blended learning studies

Why Do Employees Behave Badly? An Examination Of The Effects Of Mood, Personality, And Job Demands On Counterproductive Work Behavior

Given the recent interest in the organizational literatures on the topic of workplace aggression and other acts of counterproductive work behavior (CWB), coupled with the interest in how affect and emotions influence organizational behavior, this study aimed to integrate these two themes to test how mood, personality, and factors relating to one\u27s job influence a person\u27s propensity to engage in acts of CWB. This study contributes to the extant literature in several ways. First, this is one of only a handful of studies that examines the relationship between momentary moods and counterproductive work behaviors using an experience sampling methodology. Second, this study includes two personality variables which are rarely examined in the organizational literatures, affect intensity and dispositional happiness. Third, this study adds to the current literature on how moods affect organizational behavior in that the present study examines both the hedonic tone and the activation dimensions of mood using the circumplex model of moods and emotions as a guiding framework. The sample consisted of one hundred and fourteen employees and students at a large Midwestern university. Participants completed short self-report questionnaires three times daily for two weeks, in addition to an initial demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM; Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002). Results revealed that all momentary variables varied both within- and between-persons. Individual factors (i.e., personality, mood) were more predictive of CWBs than situational factors (i.e., job demands, work events) in the present study. Broadly, individuals were less likely to engage in CWBs when they were in positive moods. There were several unanticipated findings. Notably, individuals in activated mood states were less likely to engage in acts of counterproductive work behavior, and individuals in unactivated unpleasant (i.e., bored) mood states were more likely to engage in acts of counterproductive work behavior. While mood occasionally was related to subsequent perceptions of work events, more evidence was found that work events influenced subsequent mood states. In addition, positive work events indirectly decreased CWBs by increasing activated mood states. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed
