DROSS DUST PROCESSING

The paper deals with the processing of dross dust fractions from fluxless rotary furnace to the mentioned products by dry process. It means thatthe procedure of leaching of the soluble components is not used as the lawsalt content from melting process with a salt factor below 0,2 is acceptablylow. The undersize non-smeltable parts are a source of raw materials for thepellets production. Strength and drying of the pellets are provided byexothermic reaction, suitable binders, and combinations of the mixturegranulometry. This paper describes the history of the research anddevelopment of the processing of dross dust fractions in the Confal Inc.,which is currently still developing. Confal, Inc. operates on research anddevelopment program along with Developmental and realization shopof Faculty BERG Kosice. The purpose of the research and developmentprogram is the continual production of dry pellets

PROCESSING METHOD AND DROSS DUST FRACTIONS PROPERTIES IN THE CONFAL Inc.

Dross processing and its dust non-melting fractions is an important area for the producers of this type of waste and also for the products consumers. It is possible to produce the products from the waste. The Confal Inc. company creates its own production process, which is more economically advantageous in comparison with the previous used method. To handle this process, it offers promising future prospects for small companies which are so far from the major processors of dust dross. To contribute to the protection of the environment in any form, it is the responsibility of each producer and consumer

Beyond the Book project: quantitative data and collateral documents for One Book, One Chicago

Quantitative data and collateral documents Chicago portion of the AHRC-funded project ‘Beyond the Book: Mass Reading Events and Contemporary Cultures of Reading in the UK, USA and Canada’, (2005-2008, grant number: 112166), a three-year interdisciplinary project. The study researched a selection of 21st-century reading events which employ mass media (TV and radio) and city-wide reading projects which employ the ‘One Book, One Community’ model. The primary aims of the transnational study were to investigate how mass reading events configure contemporary practices of reading and the cultural meanings of reading at local, national and international levels; to explain the uses and complexities of reading communities in different locations; to identify and analyse trans-national trends and differences in contemporary reading cultures and reading practices; and, to critique the popular function of literary fiction. The file contains the data collected from a series of an online survey of readers in Chicago. Convenience sampling was employed. The survey was advertised through adverts in newspapers, on-line advertisements; flyers and bookmarks distributed through public library systems and cultural centres; via email through the research team’s formal and informal social and professional networks. The data includes reading choice, habits and practices; participation in broadcast and community book programming; and, basic demographic information (anonymised). The statistical data is deposited in .sav .csv and .por formats. Collateral material includes: Codebook and the Survey. Content was created between ca. 2006-10-13 and 2008-08-25. Content was saved 2008-10-31. http://www.beyondthebookproject.org

Design of Pseudoinverse Method for Robotic Arm

Pseudoinverse method for control end-effector movement of a robotic arm is presented in this paper. For that task we used the robotic arm DOBOT. We made simulation model in Matlab environment and SimMechanics toolbox. We described the pseudoinverse method and problem-solving of pseudoinverse for non-square matrices. In the near future we will make implementation of this method to the control end-effector movement of a robotic arm and therefore we created a simulation to how many digits we will need for correct calculating of goniometric functions in DS

VARIOUS METHODS OF ALUMINUM MELTING DUST DROSS FRACTION GRANUTATION AND THE RESEARCH OF CONTINUOUS GRANULATION POSSIBILITIES

Dust fractions from aluminum dross treatment are environmental load for every company in this industry sector. They are classified as waste due to their physical and primarily chemical parameters and require thus higher attention. On the other hand, the same parameters classify them as a possible source of chemical materials usable in other industry sectors. Dross treatment and the following treatment of their dust non-melting fractions are also important for such waste type producers as well as for product consumers produced from this wast

Fairness and Taxation: The Law of Deferred Income Recognition for the Members of Agricultural Cooperatives

This Article examines the application of the principles of income recognition and deferral to agricultural cooperatives and suggests a resolution to current inconsistencies in the law. Recent decisions have brought into question the ability of cooperative members to utilize both the ISA and deferred income agreements. This Article asserts that cooperative members can and should be able to take advantage of such options. Part I provides a general background on agricultural cooperatives and sets out the current legal framework for income recognition and deferral. Part II analyzes the current state of the law in regard to the treatment of cooperatives and identifies the features of that framework in need of clarification. The article concludes in Part III by identifying a clarified approach to income recognition that is consistent with both the language of the Code and the historical legislative treatment of cooperatives

Conceptualising and researching the body in digital contexts: towards new methodological conversations across the arts and social sciences

The turn to the body in social sciences has intensified the gaze of qualitative research on bodily matters and embodied relations and made the body a significant object of reflection, bringing new focus on and debates around the direction of methodological advances. This article contributes to these debates in three ways: 1) we explore the potential synergies across the social sciences and arts to inform the conceptualization of the body in digital contexts; 2) we point to ways qualitative research can engage with ideas from the arts towards more inclusive methods; and 3) we offer three themes with which to interrogate and re-imagine the body: its fragmenting and zoning, its sensory and material qualities, and its boundaries. We draw on the findings of an ethnographic study of the research ecologies of six research groups in the arts and social sciences concerned with the body in digital contexts to discuss the synergetic potential of these themes and how they could be mobilized for qualitative research on the body in digital contexts. We conclude that engaging with the arts brings potential to reinvigorate and extend the methodological repertoire of qualitative social science in ways that are pertinent to the current re-thinking of the body, its materiality and boundaries

ANALISIS DAMPAK BURUK PENGGUNAAN KEMASAN SEKALI PAKAI DALAM MEMBUNGKUS MAKANAN BAGI MAHASISWA ITERA

Kemasan mempunyai arti yang sangat penting karena kemasan tidak hanya digunakan sebagai pelindung terhadap isi produk saja tetapi juga digunakan untuk menyenangkan dan memikat hati konsumen. Susetyarsi (2012). Jenis-jenis kemasan yang sering digunakan berupa kertas nasi maupun Styrofoam. Styrofoam merupakan pengemasan makanan yang murah dengan bahan PE (Polystyrene). Bahan PE (Polystyrene) mengandung bahan kimia yang sulit dicerna yaitu Benzen. Penggunaan Styrofoam menjadi media bungkus makanan memiliki dampak yang negatif bagi kesehatan tubuh. Styrofoam juga memiliki kandungan plastik yang sulit untuk di uraikan sehingga penggunaan Styrofoam sebagai kemasan sekali pakai dinilai kurang baik bagi kesehatan manusia dan kesehatan lingkungan. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian adalah dengan penyebaran angket berupa kuesioner dengan menggunakan gform. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sekitar hampir 25 orang membungkus makanan dengan menggunakan Styrofoam dan kurang dari 5 orang menggunakan kotak makan dalam membungkus makanannya. Hal tersebut menunjukkan betapa masih sedikit mahasiswa yang paham dengan bahaya penggunaan kemasan sekali pakai Styrofoam bagi kesehatan tubuh dan lingkungan. Diharapkan mahasiswa ITERA dapat lebih peduli dengan kesehatan tubuh dan lingkungan dari penggunaan kemasan sekali pakai berupa Styrofoam.
