Effectiveness of Flexible Pin Type Couplings

Matarneh M. I. Effectiveness of Flexible Pin Type Couplings / Mohammed I. Matarneh, Nabeel S. Gharaibeh, V. G. Artyukh // International Journal of Engineering Science and Innovative Technology (IJESIT). – Tamilnadu, 2015. – Vol. 4, Issue 2. – P. 1–7.The article shows that pin elastic couplings are not functionally elastic ones. Their endurance improvement is associated with their power intensity increase (stock of resilience). Another way is to replace elastic elements material (rubber) for more endurable and power-consuming polyurethane elastomers. Besides power capacity can be increased by elastic element mass expansion and the ration of the element mass to the coupling mass

Proceedings of the 29th EG-ICE International Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Engineering

This publication is the Proceedings of the 29th EG-ICE International Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Engineering from July 6-8, 2022. The EG-ICE International Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Engineering brings together international experts working on the interface between advanced computing and modern engineering challenges. Many engineering tasks require open-world resolution of challenges such as supporting multi-actor collaboration, coping with approximate models, providing effective engineer-computer interaction, search in multi-dimensional solution spaces, accommodating uncertainty, including specialist domain knowledge, performing sensor-data interpretation and dealing with incomplete knowledge. While results from computer science provide much initial support for resolution, adaptation is unavoidable and most importantly, feedback from addressing engineering challenges drives fundamental computer-science research. Competence and knowledge transfer goes both ways. &nbsp

The Potential Use of Probiotics to Improve Animal Health, Efficiency, and Meat Quality: A Review

To address the rapidly growing use of probiotics in animal agriculture, this review discusses the effect of probiotics on animal growth and development, immune response, and productivity. Several benefits have been associated with the use of probiotics in farm animals, such as improved growth and feed efficiency, reduced mortality, and enhanced product quality. While the mechanisms through which probiotics induce their beneficial effects are not well understood, their role in modifying the gastrointestinal microbiota is believed to be the main mechanism. The use of probiotics in fresh and fermented meat products has been also shown to reduce pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms and improve sensory characteristics. Although many benefits have been associated with the use of probiotics, their effectiveness in improving animal performance and product quality is highly variable. Factors that dictate such variability are dependent on the probiotic strain being utilized and its stability during storage and administration/inoculation, frequency and dosage, nutritional and health status as well as age of the host animal. Therefore, future research should focus on finding more effective probiotic strains for the desired use and identifying the optimum dose, administration time, delivery method, and mechanism of action for each strain/host

Percepção de auditores e auditados sobre as práticas de auditoria interna em uma empresa do setor energético

A atividade de auditoria interna tem passado por significativa expansão e valorização nos últimos anos. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a percepção de auditores internos e auditados em relação às práticas de auditoria interna de uma empresa brasileira do setor energético. A pesquisa, um estudo de caso com a utilização de fontes primárias, analisou diferentes aspectos da atividade de auditoria interna, incluindo a capacitação dos auditores e características associadas a um bom trabalho de auditoria. Auditores internos e auditados apontaram a preparação do auditor, a qualidade das recomendações de auditoria e a orientação para o risco como os fatores de maior influência sobre a qualidade do serviço de auditoria interna, corroborando o disposto na literatura. Também apresentaram percepção positiva sobre a contribuição da auditoria interna para a melhoria do desempenho dos processos, a melhoria da estrutura de controles internos e a melhoria da gestão de riscos da empresa, indicadores relevantes na avaliação da qualidade do serviço de auditoria interna. A pesquisa revelou uma considerável divergência perceptiva entre auditores e auditados no que tange à avaliação do comportamento dos auditados, que possuem uma percepção mais positiva sobre esse aspecto em comparação com os auditores. A percepção do uso de boas práticas de auditoria interna por auditores e auditados está, na maioria dos casos, coerente com os atributos de qualidade citados na literatura, indicando a presença desses atributos na avaliação da qualidade do serviço de auditoria interna
