Mathematics Education Research Food For Thought With Flavours From Asia
Authors: White Allan Leslie
Published: January 2021

This paper will dip into the wonderfully rich, internationally flavoured, mathematics education research smorgasbord. In more recent times the focus has concentrated upon the cook (the teacher) and the skills needed (pedagogical knowledge) to produce delightfully pleasing brain food to nourish the growth of students. However, if this focus ignores the other essential ingredients (context, students, parents, and policies) then the results do not meet expectations. These expectations are also many and varied and include academic standards and achievement, engagement and deep understanding, exciting and enjoyable teaching and learning, relevant and meaningful learning, and the development of thinking and reasoning skills. Mathematics education research is a source of many recipes for success, and where the various countries provide their own cultural flavours. This paper will attempt to provide a taste of a range of samples drawn from research in order to satisfy an assortment of expectations while providing food for further thought.

Authors: Pannen Paulina
Published: January 2021

With the rapid development of ICT and its ramification in our world, especially education, can we envision how education will look like in the future, especially in Indonesia, and in the teaching and learning of mathematics? Employing Zappa’s Envisioning the Future of Educational Technology (2013) and NMC Horizon Report (2014) K-12 Edition, this paper will reflect on the effort of ICT integration in teaching and learning, especially in the teaching and learning of mathematics, in Indonesia. Taking stock of the existing Government’s policy on ICT and ICT in Education, also of the facts and figures of Indonesia’s ICT profile, this paper discusses initiatives, practices, and studies of ICT in Education, integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of mathematics, what technology and how to integrate in the teaching and learning of mathematics, and some future prediction on the evolution of teaching and learning due to emerging technologies.
Australian Mathematics Literacy Perspectives: Assessment
Authors: White Allan Leslie
Published: January 2021

This is a companion paper and should be read with the earlier one (White, 2017) that focused mainly on Australian governmental policies. In this paper, a more classroom and student focus will be adopted while summarising a few of the salient points of the first paper. A brief listing of five different types of mathematical literacy is provided. The definition used by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is selected andsome brief remarks are provided on this program. PISA items are presented in the form of word problems. If a country such as Australia or Indonesia wants to improve their PISA results then it would demand that some class time is devoted to the development of the abilities of younger students to handle word problems before they turn fifteen and are subjected to PISA. To support classroom teachers, Newman (1977, 1983) defined five specific mathematical literacy levels as crucial to performance on mathematical wordproblems: reading, comprehension, transformation, process skills, and encoding. Newman's Error Analysis (NEA) provides a framework for considering the reasons that underlay the difficulties students experience with mathematical word problems and a process that assists teachers to determine where misunderstandings occur. NEA also provides directions for where teachers could target effective teaching strategies to overcome them. There is a brief discussion of strategies to assist students improve theirmathematical literacy.

Духовное развитие и теологичность элитарности
Authors: Glazkov Alexander P.
Published: January 2021

В рамках данной статьи предпринимается попытка рассмотреть нерелигиозную сторону феномена духовной деятельности человека, не упуская в тоже время его открытость к дальнейшей возможной конкретизации, которую мы можем обозначить в перспективе как «теологию элитарности».

Понятием «духовность» мы обозначаем внутренний мир человека. Внутренний духовный мир человека сложен и находится в постоянном движении. Это духовное движение обусловливается стремлением к совершенству. Все то, что входит в духовный мир человека и составляет его сложность, связано с этой нацеленностью на совершенствование. Составной частью духовного мира является идеалы. Идеалы – это представления о совершенном. Идеал сверхъестественен, сверхопытен и поэтому теологи-чен. Человек стремится к совершенству. Но для человека как духовного существа на первый план выходит не телесное совершенство и не совершенство социального статуса, а прежде всего духовное совершенство. Объективное измерение духовного совершенства представляет научную проблему. Духовное развитие, как путь к элитарности, включает в себя принципиально важный этап – обнаружение собственных личностных недостатков, имеющих, прежде всего, нравственный характер. Только после этого может быть начат процесс личного совершенствования, содержанием которого будет исправление своих несовершенств.

В статье представлен один из вариантов понимания духовного совершенства, которое рассматривается под углом зрения теологичности. Понятием «теологичность» в данной статье фиксируется идеальный уровень духовной жизни. В концепт понятия «элита» – входит идея совершенства. Относящийся к духовной элите тот, кто достигает совершенства в духовном развитии. Теологичность таким образом, может послужить концептуальным маркером при определении пути к элитности.

Published: January 2021

A pandemia do Novo Coronavírus – COVID-19 tem causado um impacto profundo em nosso modo de viver e organizar a sociedade. De modo particular afetou em cheio a educação, segmento que sofrerá as consequências a longo prazo, pois está interligada com o todo da sociedade, seja pelo contato social alunos-família-professores, seja pelo investimento que será reduzido e, ainda, pela falta de intenções de refletir sobre a nossa organização educacional, seu papel, seu sentido e horizontes a serem alcançados. Propõe-se aqui não uma nova forma de educar em tempos de pandemia, mas o que ela provoca reflexivamente em nós sobre o estado atual da educação. Assim, antes de apressar-se em ferramentas e estratégias para voltar a uma espécie de normalidade nas atividades educacionais, compreendemos que é preciso olhar para as necessidades, o lugar e perspectivas da educação brasileira. Neste sentido, este estudo propõe analisar as possíveis consequências pós-pandemia, frente à precarização no acesso ao conhecimento, por estudantes de três instituições de ensino. As discussões teóricas estão apoiadas nos referenciais de Arendt, Libâneo, Rohden, Sacristán, Santos, Savater, Saviani e Duarte.

Published: January 2021

This work carried out the comparative analysis of briquettes produced from commonly found agricultural wastes product (Maize husk and millet husk) in order to have the maximum utility of the materials. The briquettes are produced based on ratio of 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50.While 100:0 (unblended) was used as control for each biomass. 25 % starch paste was used as binder to have a homogenous solution. The briquettes were produced using a simple extruder briquetting machine. The proximate analysis of the raw samples shows that the moisture content of the respective biomass has increased by two fold of the briquettes sample produced and the ash content is less while the briquettes have very high volatile matter which enhance combustion and give briquettes more quality as fuel. Higher ratios of blended briquettes of maize husk have a good flame propagation, high density, ignite faster and produced small amount of ash content after combustion. Hardness, compressive strength and combustibility test of the briquettes produced ascertained all these properties. In conclusion, maize husk briquettes give a better briquettes quality compared to millet husk briquettes.
AN APPRAISAL OF RUSSIA AND UNITED STATES (US) INVOLVEMENT IN SYRIA CIVIL WAR
Authors: Ebohwoke Ijeoma , Raphael Eze
Published: January 2021

Concerned by the worst humanitarian intractable civil war in Syria, this paper aims to appraise the involvements of Russia and the US inthewar. It questions the reasons behind these involvements as well as the implications of their respective involvements. To this end, the study adopted the theory of political realism (power model) as its framework of analysis. Utilizing documentary sources of data collection, the research employed the content analysis technique to analyze data collected. Through logical chain of evidence, deductions and inferences, the study discovered that although the driving force behind Russia and US involvements in Syria civil war is centered on their desire to secure and advance respective national interests, the resurgence of Russia as a formidable challenger in the Middle East is diminishing US hegemony in the region and US reluctance to accept this new reality will continue to cripple Syria and the region at large. Based on these findings, the paper concludes that, unless there emerges a ground for compromise, or a clear dominant power, or an internationally recognized efficient bureaucracy, the unrest in Syria will drag on.

Published: January 2021

Student teaching is a pivotal event in teacher education preparation programs, and there is a need to investigate emotions in teaching. This study examined how one elementary program navigated the emotional dimensions of teaching. Findings revealed that the emotional dimensions of student teachers were influenced by individualized factors unique to the teacher; certain emotions were perceived as more acceptable to express; and supervisors needed to support student teachers to manage and respond to the emotional dimensions of teaching. The recommendation is to go beyond the technical and academic aspects of teaching and address the emotional dimensions to best prepare the whole teacher.
Contest Powwow: Sport and Native American Culture
Authors: Aicinena Steven , Ziyanak Sebahattin
Published: January 2021

The Native American powwow has served to maintain the culture of North America’s Indigenous peoples since before the arrival of European colonialists. In traditional forms of the powwow, competition is not common whereas contest powwows are characterized by the primacy of competition. We assess similarities and differences between the contest powwow and competitive sport found within the broader American society through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 14 competitive contest powwow dancers. We address a number of questions through the qualitative research process, such as what does the powwow mean to you? What are your primary goals for competing? We analyzed the qualitative data via a three-step coding process (open coding, axial coding, and theme development). We demonstrate that although the participants compete with a high degree of seriousness, they maintain traditional collectivist values and attitudes. Further, we conclude that the contest powwow serves to maintain and reproduce the unique characteristics of traditional Native American culture within the competitive contest powwow environment.

Published: January 2021

Modern livestock production inevitably involves the use of antimicrobial drugs. Adequate application thereof depends on the application of appropriate biosafety measures as well as timely and accurate diagnostics of the diseases. Administration of antimicrobial drugs without previous identification of “zootechnical errors” or relevant laboratory analysis may lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Surveillance and monitoring of AMR is conducted according to prescribed procedures and includes sampling at slaughter line. Quite often, such procedures are missed out during production cycle, which results in an inadequate use of antibiotics and consequent development of antimicrobial resistance and resistance gene transfer. In this research, we monitored the presence of specific bacterial species from the family Enterobacteriaceae and their sensitivity to particular antibiotics in diverse animal categories at pig farms over the breeding period. The aim of the study was to establish the following: development of antimicrobial resistance by isolated bacteria, occurrence of the resistance towards several diverse groups of antibiotics, and possible alternatives to antibiotics in cases when therapy is required. The research confirmed the development of AMR during pig production process, which is often manifested as multiple resistance (group of penicillin and synthetic penicillin drugs, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines).

Abstract
The economic losses caused by gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants are increasing today due to the development of anthelmintic resistance. Therefore, researchers from different parts of the world are searching for new, alternative strategies to control these parasites. As a valuable natural resource, medicinal plants and their products have emerged as a viable option. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro ovicidal activity of two chemotypes of the yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) essential oil against sheep gastrointestinal nematodes. For this purpose, nematode eggs were collected from naturally infected sheep of two farms located in Southern Italy to perform the egg hatch test. In both farms, the coproculture examination identified the presence of four genera of sheep GINs: Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Teladorsagia and Chabertia. Main components of the yarrow essential oil identified by GC-MS analysis were 1,8-cineole (41.69%), camphor (8.37%) and trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (4.90) for the type 1 and β-pinene (28.53%), β-caryophyllene (18.71%) and 1,8-cineole (11.69%) for the type 2. In vitro ovicidal activity was evaluated at six different concentrations (50, 12.5, 3.125, 0.781, 0.195 and 0.049 mg/mL), whereby the inhibitory effect of the essential oil (Achillea millefolium L.) on egg hatchability varied from 46.5-99.5% (type 1) and 69.6-97.25% (type 2) and all concentrations tested showed a significantly higher efficacy compared to the negative control (p<0.0001). Furthermore, the inhibitory effect on egg hatching was similar (p>0.05) to the positive control (98.0%) at concentrations of 50 mg/mL (99.5%), 12.5 mg/mL (98.0%) and 3.125 (95.25%) of the type 1, and at concentrations of 50 mg/mL (97.25%) and 12.5 mg/mL (90.0%) of the type 2. The obtained results suggested that the A. millefolium essential oil has high anthelmintic potential, especially azulene-free chemotype rich in 1,8-cineole and camphor, which requires confirmation in further in vivo studies.

Damage to archives stored for a long time threatens to reduce the shelf life of archives and their existence in the future. Efforts to conserve the archive are done to reduce the damage that occurs. This study aims to study the effect of the use of Magnesium Carbonate and the effect of the use of Methyl Cellulose in the improvement of the paper-based archives. Acidic archive papers are treated by using Magnesium Carbonate and Bookkeeper solution. The acidity of the paper is tested before and after treatment. In the restoration of the archive using Methyl Cellulose, Japanese tissue was applied using Methyl Cellulose glue on archive paper. The effect of the use of glue was observed from changes in the characteristics of the paper before and after treatment. The parameters tested include grammage, thickness, tear resistance, folding resistance, internal bonding, water absorption, ash content, and acidity. The result showed that Magnesium Carbonate can significantly increase pH but this chemical cannot be used in spraying. Other results show that the improvement of the archive using Methyl Cellulose can increase the strength of the paper but further research is needed to determine its effect after being stored for a long time.

Strategi Peladang Berpindah di Routa Dalam Rangka Menguatkan Klaim Hak Atas Tanah Bekas Areal Perladangan Berpindah di Masa Lalu
Authors: Adijaya Sarlan
Published: January 2021

Claims of rights to land formerly shifting cultivation areas in the past, as referred to by the terms orawu, anahoma, laliwata and osambu are now increasingly ineffective - one of which is because the former shifting cultivation area has been abandoned for a long time where the trees have grown as usual, until hardly leaving the slightest sign of former swidden cultivation areas. As a result, lands in the former shifting cultivation areas in the past are now being taken over and controlled by other parties.
This research, which lasted for six months, was conducted in Routa District, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, considering that in this area a new phenomenon has developed in which land formerly cultivated areas in the past was re-opened by their descendants of current shifting cultivators in order to strengthen land rights claims. There are …. informants participated in this study, including shifting cultivators and descendants of shifting cultivators, government officials, and local law enforcers. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews and observations.
The study shows that the current strategy of the descendants of shifting cultivators in Routa is to re-open their parents' former shifting cultivation areas - this strategy is increasingly emphasized through planting growing crops, creating boundaries and legalizing land rights with both SKT and SHM. These strategies have proven to be quite successful in overcoming the encroachment of former shifting cultivation areas as well as providing new economic bases for shifting cultivators in the form of land and gardens.
Less Masculine, More Feminine dan Less Feminine, More Masculine: Laki-laki Mengekspresikan Androgini Melalui Fashion
Authors: Fadly WIjayakusuma Putri Kumalasari
Published: January 2021

Androgyny combines masculine and feminine characters at once. Despite the fact that the way one’s talk, gestures, emotions, interests and talents are indicators of androgyny, fashion or the way they dress has become the main indicator. While the existing literatures deal more on characteristics, behavior, interests and talents, and self-representation through social media, this article is focused on how androgyny men exptress their gender through fashion.
This study was conducted in the city of Makassar which involved 12 male college students. They are varied based on age (between 20 and 24 years), and profession (master of ceremony, model, dancer, make up artist, disc jockey). Data was collected using in-depth interview, focus discussion group (FGD), and observation as the primary data sources as well website and social media (i.e. Instagram), as the secondary data sources.
The study indicates that androgynous men is not transgender because they did not want to become “like women”, as transgender do. Besides, androgynous men classify themselves higher than transgender, from both appearance and social class. Although androgynous men may express their androgynousness through behavior, interests and talents, fashion is the most significant aspect that indicates a person's androgynousity. Androgynous men express androgyny more through fashion than others because through fashion their existence is easily recognized, as it is combining between masculine and feminine characters. Androgynous fashion is divided into two, less masculine-more feminine and less feminine-more masculine. Whether an androgynous man is more feminine or more masculine, depending on their performance and perception towards what is being performed. The motives of androgynous men are divided into two, the first is “because-to-motive” and  “in-order to motive”. While the former includes influencing by peer group, having sense of comfort, feeling self satisfaction, and being professional; the latter consists of expecting to be socially accepted and to be accepted as normal people.

Comparative Analysis of Regional versus General Anesthesia
Authors: Mason Luisa , Jackman Tiffany
Published: January 2021

The administration of regional or general anesthesia is dependent upon many factors to help reduce complications and improve patient outcomes after surgery.  In this comparative analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of both types of anesthesia as well as their respective contraindications are reviewed.  Both regional and general anesthetics come with adverse effects including morbidity/mortality, and a certain threshold that warrants a type of anesthesia suitable for a surgical procedure.  Although there are risks associated with both, certain patient populations may be at higher risk of complications including the elderly, severely ill, and individuals with specific medical conditions.  A review of current literature advises the following factors to be examined prior to choosing an anesthesia method most appropriate for the patient including: body mass index (BMI), medical history, age, current medications, fasting time, alcohol/drug intake, pharmaceutical drug use, dental work and airway inspection, as well as neck flexibility and head extension.  The research suggests that the patient be fully informed of the risks and benefits of both regional and general anesthesia, as well as taking part in the decision-making process.

The present study is designed to examine college professors’ perception of classroom disability support services. A survey questionnaire was developed to measure college professors’ perception of three areas including: 1) expanding higher education opportunities for students with disabilities, 2) types of classroom disability support services, and 3) barriers in providing services, and implemented with eighty-two college professors. Overall, results indicate that college professors are permissive in providing disability-related classroom support, although they showed differences in terms of the type and scope of service depending on the nature of the discipline. To improve college disability support service in South Korea, the present study suggests to increase educational opportunities such as booklets, guidelines, and training workshop, specifically designed for college professors who are not familiar with classroom disability support services.
The Key to Employee Motivation: A Competitive Leadership Approach
Authors: Tesmer Katharina , Oxenford Carolyn
Published: January 2021

This article reviews current leadership practices and their impact on employee motivation. A competitive leadership approach based on Ryan and Deci’s self-determination theory is suggested as the foundation to enhance employee motivation. According this theory, individuals seek to meet the primary psychological needs of relatedness, competence and autonomy (Deci & Ryan, 2000). To foster relatedness in employees, leaders should develop a meaningful purpose and shared values; model behavior, show involvement and build relationships. By setting goals as well as recognizing and challenging employees, leaders develop competence in their employees. Lastly, leaders foster autonomy by empowering their employees. By satisfying the needs of relatedness, competence and autonomy, employees will be more innovative, motivated and productive. Employees will also be happier and less likely to leave the organization.

Published: January 2021

In this paper the thermo elastic phenomenon occurring in the disk brakes, the occupied heat conduction and elastic equations are solved with contact problems. The numerical simulation for the thermo elastic behavior of disk brake is obtained in the repeated brake condition. The computational results are presented for the distribution of heat flux and temperature on each friction surface between the contacting bodies. Also, thermo elastic instability (TIE) phenomenon (the unstable growth of contact pressure and temperature) is
investigated in the present study, and the influence of the material properties on the thermo elastic behaviors (the maximum temperature on the friction surfaces) is investigated to facilitate the conceptual design of the disk brake system. Based on these
numerical results, the thermo elastic behaviors of the carbon-carbon composites with excellent mechanical properties are also discussed.

Published: January 2021

The present research is concerned with proper recovery of the R-22 [1] gas, which is widely used in various R.A.C. fields on the system failure and reusing these recovered gases again for the future use. It is well known that various cooling units are widely spread in their applications and are circulating R-22 as a refrigerant. It is intended to recover this type of refrigerant by any means preventing its ill effects on environment. The time required for recovering is less, hence the system requires less time. The recovery rate of the unit ranges between 1 to 2 kg/min for 1 ton capacity of the system. We can use the unit for any ton capacity of the breakdown system refrigeration and air conditioning system to recover the gas. The. Global warming [2] is the process wherein the average temperature of the Earth's near surface air increases, owing largely to various man-made activities. Though there are some natural causes for this rise in temperature, they stand to be insignificant when compared to the man-made causes. Understanding global warming & green house gas causes and effects can give us a brief idea of the dreadful phenomena our future generations may have to face. There are some of the prominent global warming causes and effects.

Published: January 2021

In metal cutting industry, edge preparation on carbide inserts have a significant effect on the productivity of a machine. In this study, the effect of various cutting edge preparations on wiper facet which influences various force components and surface finish in the rough milling operation of AISI 1070 steel were experimentally investigated. Tungsten Carbide inserts with three distinct edge preparations and AISI 1070 steel blocks were used. Three-factor (Cutting speed, Feed and Geometry), three-level full factorial design experiments were conducted under dry conditions. During the rough milling operation, three components of forces and surface finish of the machined surface were measured. This study shows that the effect of various edge geometries is more significant on surface finish and has very little impact on the force components.

Corrosion studies on friction stir welded AE42 magnesium alloy were carried out in 0.1 M ammonium carbonate solution. For better understanding, comparative analysis of corrosion rates was carried out before and after welding. Friction stir weld zone was more corrosion resistant than the parent metal under similar experimental conditions. Grain size was refined at weld zone. Second phase intermetallic particles were refined into tiny pieces of 1-2 micron size and evenly distributed throughout the matrix. Local electrochemical imbalance was eliminated due to the grain refinement and elimination of continuous grain boundary. These phenomena improved the corrosion resistance of weld zone. Scanning electron microscopic images confirmed mild and uniform corrosion of weld zone and rigorous inhomogeneous corrosion of parent metal.

Published: January 2021

The current paper deals with the stress analysis of a helical coil compression spring, which is employed in three wheeler’s auto-rickshaw belonging to the medium segment of the Indian automotive market. In the design of this kind of spring both the elastic characteristics and the fatigue strength have to be considered as significant aspects. In addition to this particular elastic property, as a consequence of the research effort in reducing the mass of components typical of the automotive industry, these springs have to face very high working stresses. The structural reliability of the spring must therefore be ensured. So for this purpose the static stress analysis using finite element method has been done in order to find out the detailed stress distribution of the spring.

Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and Cellular level. Today's surgical tools are, at this scale, large and crude. From the Viewpoint of a cell, even a fine scalpel is a blunt instrument more suited to tear and injure than heal and cure, where in real-time the organ most affected is heart. The present method of treatment-bypass surgery or angioplasty is outdated in this Nan world. Our work shows any viral respiratory infection could be diagnosed with the help of quantum dot system in an efficient manner. Finally, this paper clearly pictures the solutions for human illness using the “Nanotechnology” which will be driver for the future technologies of today’s “shrinking world.

Published: January 2021

The engineering components are subjected to surface damage by slurry abrasion such as transportation pipes carrying ore and mineral slurries, extruders, sand pumps and agitators, Apart from stress, abrasive particle hardness, slurry concentration, particle size and shape significantly influences slurry abrasion rate. The effect of abrasive particle shape on slurry abrasion behaviour of steels and cast irons which are widely used for wear protection has not been studied. The particle shape assumes significant importance due to fracture and fragmentation of the particles during the process of abrasion. In the present work, the particle shape characterization of silica sand abrasive particles was carried by shape factor analysis using image analysis technique. An attempt was made to correlate the different measures of shape factor with particle size of abrasive particles over a wide range. The characterization of slurry abrasion tester was carried out using slurry abrasion tester with silica sand slurry. The effect of sliding distance on slurry abrasion volume of mild steel was studied. The volume loss increased linearly with sliding distance. The scanning electron microscopic observations of worn our surfaces showed micro-ploughing and cutting as mechanism of material removal.

Knowledge sharing means the exchange of knowledge and share of experience among different organizational units. Knowledge sharing is about stimulating the exchange of experiences, ideas, and thoughts between people. The barriers which resist in the KS are known as knowledge Sharing Barriers (KSBs). The main aim of this paper is to understand mutual influence of KSBs using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and to identify driving KSBs (KSBs that support other KSBs) and dependent KSBs (KSBs that are most influenced by others KSBs). It has been observed that KSBs ‘Lack of top management support and KM is not well understood’ has high driving power and low dependency.

This paper presents a simulation of the economizer zone, which allows for the condition of the shell-side flow and tube-side and tube-wall, thermal fields, and of the shell-tube heat-exchange. Selection of the economizer zone from the thermal power plant only because, it is found trends of failure that the economizer is the zone where the leakages are found more. The maximum number of cause of failure in economizer unit is due to flue gas erosion. The past failure details revels that erosion is more in U-bend areas of Economizer Unit because of increase in flue gas velocity near these bends. But it is observed that the velocity of flue gases surprisingly increases near the lower bends as compared to upper ones. The model is solved using conventional CFD techniques by STAR- CCM+ software. In which the individual tubes are treated as sub-grid features. A geometrical model is used to describe the multiplicity of heat-exchanging structures and the interconnections among them. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach is utilised for the creation of a three-dimensional model of the economizer coil. With equilibrium assumption applied for description of the system chemistry. The flue gas temperature, pressure and velocity field of fluid flow within an economizer tube using the actual boundary conditions have been analyzed using CFD tool. Such as the ability to quickly analyse a variety of design options without modifying the object and the availability of significantly more data to interpret the results. This study is a classic example of numerical investigation into the problem of turbulent reacting flows in large scale furnaces employed in thermal power plants for the remediation of ash deposition problems. And the experimental setup is from Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station, Chandrapur having the unit no IV of 210 MW energy generations.

Published: January 2021

The objective of the present work was to investigate the effects of the various machining (turning) process parameters on the machining quality and to obtain the optimal sets of process parameters so that the quality of machined parts can be optimized. The working ranges and levels of the machining process (turning) parameters are found using three factors. Cutting speed (Vc - m/min), feed rate (f – mm/rev) and depth of cut (d - mm). The Design-Expert software has been used to investigate the effects of the Machining process parameters and subsequently to predict sets of optimal parameters for optimum quality characteristics. The response surface methodology (RSM) in conjunction with second order central composite rotatable design has been used to develop the empirical models for response characteristics. Desirability functions have been used for simultaneous optimization of performance measures. Also, the ANOVA technique and utility function have been used for response optimization. Confirmation experiments are further conducted to validate the results.
