description: Janus particles represent a unique group of patchy particles combining two or more different physical or chemical functionalities at their opposite sides. Especially, individual Janus particles (JPs) with both chemical and geometrical anisotropy as well as their assembled layers provide considerable advantages over the conventional monofunctional particles or surfactant molecules offering (a) a high surface-to-volume ratio; (b) high interfacial activity; (c) target controlling and manipulation of their interfacial activity by external signals such as temperature, light, pH, or ionic strength and achieving switching between stable emulsions and macro-phase separation; (d) recovery and recycling; (e) controlling the mass transport across the interface between the two phases; and finally (f) tunable several functionalities in one particle allowing their use either as carrier materials for immobilized catalytically active substances or, alternatively, their site-selective attachment to substrates keeping another functionality active for further reactions. All these advantages of JPs make them exclusive materials for application in (bio-)catalysis and (bio-)sensing. Considering “green chemistry” aspects covering biogenic materials based on either natural or fully synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for the design of JPs may solve the problem of toxicity of some existing materials and open new paths for the development of more environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in the very near future. Considering the number of contributions published each year on the topic of Janus particles in general, the number of contributions regarding their environmentally friendly and sustainable applications is by far smaller. This certainly pinpoints an important challenge and is addressed in this review article. The first part of the review focuses on the synthesis of sustainable biogenic or biocompatible Janus particles, as well as strategies for their recovery, recycling, and reusability. The second part addresses recent advances in applications of biogenic/biocompatible and non-biocompatible JPs in environmental and biotechnological fields such as sensing of hazardous pollutants, water decontamination, and hydrogen production. Finally, we provide implications for the rational design of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials based on Janus particles. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]. © 2020, The Author(s).

Subjects: subject: 660

description: Presented are results from uniaxial cylinder upsetting tests of sodium silicate glass at different constant deformation rates each combined with relaxation experiments in the temperature range 480 to 580°C. Due to the complete stress relaxation to final load zero (vanished carrying capacity) also below glass transition temperature Tg, it follows Maxwell behavior in principle. But the rheological analyses of loading and unloading experiments together show that only nonlinear Maxwell model approaches can adequately describe the deformation behavior of the glass in the surroundings of Tg.

Investigation of selenium retention in high redox glasses
Creators: name: Shelestak, Larry J.

Publisher: name: Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: Laboratory glass melting experiments were made to study the effect of glass redox on selenium retention. Initially, it was found that as expected selenium retention decreases as glass redox ratio increases. But, unexpectedly, selenium retention then levels off and reaches a minimum upon further increases in glass redox, before once again increasing for very high redox ratios of more than 0.60. Selenium concentrations in the furnace atmosphere at different locations in a commercial float glass furnace were also measured as an indicator of selenium volatility at different stages of glass melting. Α study of the effect of glass redox ratio on the spectral absorption of the major selenium containing coloring centers in float glass was also made.
Identity and community versus non-place
Creators: name: McGinn, D
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Identity and Community Versus Non-Place, is a PhD submission of sculptural and digital photographic works. I have approached this thesis as both an artist and an archivist. I focused on two suburban icons for this body of work: the hip and valley suburban home and the caravan. I have endeavoured to visualize the impact change is bringing to the Australian coastal landscape by creating works that comment on the effects of urban development ‚Äö- particularly on my local region ‚Äö- and by digital photography, documenting change as it occurs. Underpinning the thesis is my long-standing relationship with the Victorian Bellarine region. My personal links to the Bellarine region and my understanding of the surrounding region provided an insightful background to the processes of change which are taking place in the local environment. My research investigates the rapid transformation of coastal townships caused by regional suburban development. My work explores what it is that defines place (beyond its physical characteristics), the similarities and differences between a 'type' of place (in this case, coastal regions), and how established communities may retain a sense of place despite the threat posed by ubiquitous, characterless housing developments (which I term 'non-places'). A primary aim of my research is to have provided a clear contextualisation and an understanding of the importance of location. It explores the significance of Australian coastal regions and our changing relationship with these locations as they become increasingly urbanised. On a sociological level, the differences between middle-class and working-class Australian culture are visually explored. This is particularly evident in the isolation of the traditional residents from the expensive land developments, which are attracting external residents and creating an economically segregated community. This in turn raises the issue of identity, its personal and communal importance and its potential loss as we become increasingly urbanised. This research project has been achieved through the development and subsequent culmination of a body of sculptural installations that provoke discussion, concerning interesting social polarities such as tradition/innovation, subsistence/affluence, past/present and permanence/change.
On higher order geometric and renormalisation group flows

description: Renormalisation group flows of the bosonic nonlinear σ-model are governed, perturbatively, at different orders of α', by the perturbatively evaluated β--functions. In regions where \frac{α'}{R_c^2} << 1 the flow equations at various orders in α' can be thought of as \em approximating the full, non-perturbative RG flow. On the other hand, taking a different viewpoint, we may consider the abovementioned RG flow equations as viable {\em geometric} flows in their own right and without any reference to the RG aspect. Looked at as purely geometric flows where higher order terms appear, we no longer have the perturbative restrictions . In this paper, we perform our analysis from both these perspectives using specific target manifolds such as S^2, H^2, unwarped S^2 x H^2 and simple warped products. We analyze and solve the higher order RG flow equations within the appropriate perturbative domains and find the \em corrections arising due to the inclusion of higher order terms. Such corrections, within the perturbative regime, are shown to be small and they provide an estimate of the error which arises when higher orders are ignored. We also investigate the higher order geometric flows on the same manifolds and figure out generic features of geometric evolution, the appearance of singularities and solitons. The aim, in this context, is to demonstrate the role of the higher order terms in modifying the flow. One interesting aspect of our analysis is that, separable solutions of the higher order flow equations for simple warped spacetimes, correspond to constant curvature Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, modulo an overall flow--parameter dependent scale factor. The functional form of this scale factor (which we obtain) changes on the inclusion of successive higher order terms in the flow.

Surface tension of amber glass melts

description: The surface tension of 0.1 Fe2O3, 15 Na2O, 11 CaO, 73.9 SiO2 glass melts (composition given in mol %) containing additions of 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 wt % sodium sulfate were measured using pendant drop technique at temperatures between 1200 and 1400°C. Surface tension measurements were carried out in reducing (96 %Ar/4 %H2), inert (Argon) oxidizing (Dry Air) and wet (Wet Air) atmospheres. The surface tension of the amber glass melts was found to decrease with increasing temperature, these increases were larger than those reported for similar glasses containing iron alone. Melt atmosphere had only a small effect on the surface tension of the sulfur containing melts at the flow rates used in this study suggesting that sulfur decomposition could be in a sulfur-rich local environment. The fact that for sulfur containing melts the surfaee tension in the reducing atmosphere was slightly lower than that in the oxidizing atmosphere imitates the behavior in oxidized iron melts which would be contrary to the observations of other workers. The surface tension of the melts was found to increase with increasing SO3 content up to 0.13 to 0.31 wt%, after which it levels off or decreases. This roughly correlates with the intensity of the amber chromophore concentration in the resulting glass. The amber chromophore contains ferric iron tetrahedrally coordinated with three oxygens and a sulfide ion but the amber glass melt contains ferrous iron and an oxide of sulfur. The amber chromophore is believed to be controlled more by the sulfur content than the iron content and therefore the fact that the isothermal surfaee tension tracks the amber chromophore intensity suggests that the surface tension, too, is controlled by the sulfur. Since the oxide of sulfur serves to decrease surface tension partitioning of that species to the surface could cause the observed "tearing" effect seen in amber glass melts and assist in the homogenization of those melts.

description: The report is about the implementation of Task 4.4.3. City Day: Discovering my City - Healthy and Clean Tips in Bristol. The topic of the activity is smart, non-motorised mobility of citizens in Europe to show the walking and cycling routes of the city. The activity invited older citizens from the cities to promote their own smart mobility. Short films were prepared about the smart mobility tips which show the health, environmental and social benefit of the smart moves in the city. The REC provided guidelines and some templates, which described the general concept of organising the ClairCity Film Campaigns, culminating in the City Days. Based on this information the Bristol project team adapted the methodology to their specific circumstances and implement the campaign for filming and the City Day event.
Ageing kinetics and internal friction of oxide glasses

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: The detailed analysis of internal friction data of Silicate and phosphate glasses (frequencies of about 1 Hz) was done in comparison with the calculated temperature positions expected from the characteristic times of ageing which resulted from previous systematization of alkali-containing silicate glasses. As basis suggested for such comparison is the validity of secondary relaxation mechanism at high-temperature mechanical relaxation to that for ageing kinetics at room temperature. Practically in all cases the relaxadon times for the ageing process fit the distribution of relaxation times for internal friction. Thus the β-relaxation maximum (internal friction) may be considered as overlapping four narrow spectral components, at least. The characteristic times for ageing, contrary to continuous distribution for the mechanical relaxation, are discrete due to the condition of structure ordering. The nonbridging oxygens seem to be more probable participants of elementary relaxation events in both kinds of processes.
Long-range granular feature of silicate glasses and its relation to glass properties
Creators: name: Wang, Chun
Publisher: name: Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: Numerous experimental results show that silica and silicate glasses consist of higher density granules about 20 to 50 nm sized and lower density linkages. Such long-range feature should originate from the long-range density fluctuation of the glass-forming liquid. Due to the highly coordinated network structure of glass the lower density regions may be under strain. Following this assumption many phenomena of glass observed here and reported in the literature can be explained well, e.g. anomalous conductivity, brittleness, granular boundary contour of crack, high conductivity on the fracture surface, cloudy damage after dishwashing, corrosion products on glass surface, distribution pattern of Ag colloidal particles in float glass bath side, disproportional large influence of water on glass properties, the unusual increase in expansion coefficient with increasing modifier content, etc.

description: This deliverable is a comparative analysis and SWOT analysis of city action perspectives. Air quality and carbon policies are often largely influenced by existing national and EU policy frameworks that very much influence the possibilities that individual cities and regions have for action. This report examines this leeway for action of individual cities and provides a comparative analysis of support and barriers that cities receive from higher policy levels, and discusses how they can react to that. The latter will be done by way of a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of city action perspectives.
Moving towards a parrhesiastic pedagogy
Creators: name: Levett, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis, 'Moving towards a parrhesiastic pedagogy', explores the relationship between experience, social power and transformation through a Foucauldian (1972, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2000a, 2002c) discursive analysis of the author's coming out journal. As a critical autoethnographic (Reed-Danahay 1997) study, it examines how the dominant discourses of the journal construct versions of sex, sexuality and gender that simultaneously enable and constrain multiple positions of subjectivity (Butler 1997b; Davies 1991). This investigation into the nexus of power, discourse and the construction of the self is an important vehicle to advance critical and feminist pedagogy's agenda towards promoting individual social change and transformation (Taylor & Vintages 2004). The thesis explores how agency results from a critical reflexivity that examines the practices of self-constitution within/against (Lather 1991) dominant discourses and their concomitant relations of power. Analysing the strategies and techniques that are invoked to both sustain and resist the play of these relations maximises capacity for transformation and change (Foucault 2002c; Poster 1989). The aim of the discourse analysis is to uncover and dissect discursive conventions and make apparent the partiality and situatedness of language and knowledge production. This will involve understanding the frames and boundaries that discourses establish around what can be considered as knowledge; how these knowledge systems construct normalising effects, creating fictions of truth that appear natural and unquestionable; the techniques through which the self is induced to govern itself and comply with these normalising ideas, and the ways in which the self is never fully subsumed within discourse, always refusing to be fully determined. A view of poststructural agency is constructed for educational practice that facilitates a critical ontology of subjectivity within parrhesiastic (McLaren 2002; O'Leary 2002) moments that disturb dominant versions of truth/knowledge/self practices (Foucault 1993, 1998, 2000; Gore 1993, 2002; O'Leary 2002; Tamboukou 2003).

description: What happens when the extremely adhesive and versatile chemistry of polydopamine (PDA) is in contact with the extremely slippery surfaces known as slippery liquid‐infused porous substrates (SLIPS)? Inspired by the pitcher plant, SLIPS possess excellent repellence against a variety of complex liquids and have been proposed as promising antifouling surfaces because of their successful performance even in marine environments. In the counterpart, inspired by the adhesive proteins enabling the strong adhesion of mussels to multiple substrates, PDA has been extensively studied for its ability to adhere on nearly every type of substrate. The interaction between various SLIPS systems and the highly fouling medium from the oxidative polymerization of dopamine is explored here. A PDA coating is observed on all the SLIPS evaluated, modifying their hydrophobicity in most cases. In‐depth study of silicone‐based SLIPS shows that hydrophobicity of PDA coated SLIPS partially recovers with time due to percolation of the lubricant through the coating. “Strongly” bound PDA species are attributed to the formation of dopamine‐polydimethylsiloxane species on the crosslinked matrix, rendering a coating that withstands repeated washing steps in various solvents including water, hexane, and toluene. The results not only satisfy scientific curiosity but also imply a strategy to modify/bond SLIPS.

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: This paper considers the evolution of glasses used for pressed wares in the way already used for flat and container glass. About 160 samples of common pressed soda-lime-silica glass used for utilitarian and technical purposes are considered. The composition of pressed glass is related to flint container glass, it differs mainly in higher alkali content, low iron content and, from time to time, in addidons of K2O and BaO. Development of the compositions of flat, container, and pressed glasses is then compared and notable features such as the introductions of magnesia and alumina discussed, as is the use of high-alumina low-alkali container glasses. How future constraints may affect further developments is also considered.
The income elasticity of demand for cash balances in Canadian industry : an empirical investigation
Creators: name: Scrivener, David Lionel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study examines the transactions demand for cash in several sectors of Canadian industry. In particular, the question of the existence of economies and diseconomies of scale in the holding of cash balances is investigated. In the estimation procedure, sales were used as an approximation of transactions. Average cash balances were regressed on average annual sales figures for fourteen industrial groups in the years 1957, 1958 and 1960. Log and ordinary linear formulations were used. Regression coefficients indicated that in the majority of cases, elasticities of cash with respect to sales were approximately unity, as the Meltzer model of the demand for cash predicts. In three out of the forty-two cases, elasticities were significantly (at the .05 level) less than unity, indicating that the Baumol-Tobin models might be relevant in some cases. In five cases, elasticities significantly greater than unity were found.

description: An alternative way of recovery, recycling and re-integration of solid wastes on a laboratory scale is demonstrated. The analysed synthetic slags belong to the System SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgO-Fe2O3-K2O-Na2O. Α polynomial model has been developed by means of a computing program in order to calculate some important technological features directly from a variable oxide concentration and to determine a processable composition. Furthermore, a concept of maximum application of the residues is suggested for slags from waste incineration and other industrial processes with relative low volatile components. Rolling has been chosen as the most suitable forming technique, because recycling melts show a short forming interval and an aggressive behaviour towards refractory materials. It is possible to form plates or tiles which afterwards can additionally be shaped e.g. to create profiles or breaking points. Because of their affmity to crystallization the glassy end-products can be devitrified at the surface (into semicrystalline products, i.e. glass-ceramics) to receive a better resistance. The present results show the possibility of using well known forming and treating processes to make high value products from low-value by-products, with a considerable economical advantage.

description: We present predictions for the abundance and nature of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the Lambda cold dark matter model. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed at z>= 1 and their numbers and properties pose a challenge to hierarchical galaxy formation models. We compare the predictions from two published models, one of which invokes a "superwind" to regulate star formation in massive haloes and the other which suppresses gas cooling in haloes through "radio-mode" AGN feedback. The superwind model underestimates the number counts of EROs by an order of magnitude, whereas the radio-mode AGN feedback model gives excellent agreement with the number counts and redshift distribution of EROs. In the AGN feedback model the ERO population is dominated by old, passively evolving galaxies, whereas observations favour an equal split between old galaxies and dusty starbursts. Also, the model predicts a more extended redshift distribution of passive galaxies than is observed. These comparisons suggest that star formation may be quenched too efficiently in this model.

description: A nitriding process based on two distinct nitrogen glow discharge modes, with sample temperatures ranging from 380 °Cto480°C, was employed to treat the surface of austenitic stainless steel (SS 304). The temperature is controlled exclusively by switching the operation conditions of the discharges. First mode of operation is the conventional one, named cathodic, which runs at higher pressure values (1 mbar) in comparison to the second mode, named anodic, which runs at the pressure range of 10-3 -10-2 mbar. Cathodic mode is used to quickly heat the sample holder, by the high ion flux. On the other hand, in the anodic mode, due to the lower operation pressure, higher effective ion acceleration takes place, which allows deeper ion implantation into the sample surface. This hybrid process was thoroughly explored regarding the duty cycle and conditions of operation, to achieve optimal performance of the treatments, which led to the attainment of surface hardness for samples of AISI SS 304 as high as 20 GPa and improvements including higher elastic modulus and resistance against corrosion. Detailed comparison among samples treated by this process with others treated by conventional method was done using nanoindentation, Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and corrosion resistance testing.

Symmetric functions and infinite dimensional algebras
Creators: name: Baker, TH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Infinite-dimensional algebras and symmetric functions arise in many diverse areas of mathematics and physics. In this thesisseveral problems in these two areas are studied. We investigate the concept of replicated and q-replicated arguments in Schur and Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. A description of \dual\" compound symmetric functions is obtained with the help of functions of a replicated argument while Schur and Hall-Littlewood functions of a q-replicated argument are both shown to be related to Macdonald's symmetric functions. Various tensor product decompositions and winding subalgebra branching rules for the N = 1 and N = 2 superconformal algebras are examined by using the triple and quintuple product identities and various generalizations thereof concentrating on the particular cases when these decompositions are finite or multiplicity free. The boson-fermion correspondence is utilized to develop an algorithm for the calculation of outer products of Schur and Q-functions with power sum symmetric functions and general (outer) multiplication of S-functions. A procedure is also developed for the evaluation of (outer) plethysms of Schur functions and power sums. A few examples are given which demonstrate the usefulness of this method for calculating plethysms between Schur functions. By examining the vertex operator realization of Hall-Littlewood functions we are also able to generate an algorithm for expressing Hall-Littlewood functions in terms of Schur functions. The operation of outer plethysm is defined for Hall-Littlewood functions and the algorithm developed for S-functions is extended to this case as well."

description: We present a method of general applicability for finding exact or accurate approximations to bond percolation thresholds for a wide class of lattices. To every lattice we sytematically associate a polynomial, the root of which in $[0,1]$ is the conjectured critical point. The method makes the correct prediction for every exactly solved problem, and comparison with numerical results shows that it is very close, but not exact, for many others. We focus primarily on the Archimedean lattices, in which all vertices are equivalent, but this restriction is not crucial. Some results we find are kagome: $p_c=0.524430...$, $(3,12^2): p_c=0.740423...$, $(3^3,4^2): p_c=0.419615...$, $(3,4,6,4):p_c=0.524821...$, $(4,8^2):p_c=0.676835...$, $(3^2,4,3,4)$: $p_c=0.414120...$ . The results are generally within $10^{-5}$ of numerical estimates. For the inhomogeneous checkerboard and bowtie lattices, errors in the formulas (if they are not exact) are less than $10^{-6}$.

description: It is known that relative entropy of entanglement for entangled state $ρ$ is defined via its closest separable (or positive partial transpose) state $σ$. Recently, it has been shown how to find $ρ$ provided that $σ$ is given in two-qubit system. In this paper we study on the inverse process, i.e. how to find $σ$ provided that $ρ$ is given. It is shown that if $ρ$ is one of Bell-diagonal, generalized Vedral-Plenio and generalized Horodecki states, one can always find $σ$ from a geometrical point of view. This is possible due to the following two facts: (i) The Bloch vectors of $ρ$ and $σ$ are identical with each other (ii) The qubit-interaction vector of $σ$ can be computed from a crossing point between minimal geometrical object, in which all separable states reside in the presence of Bloch vectors, and a straight line, which connects the point corresponding to the qubit-interaction vector of $ρ$ and the nearest vertex of the maximal tetrahedron, where all two-qubit states reside. It is shown, however, that these nice properties are not maintained for the arbitrary two-qubit states.

description: Die Nutzerkosten von Mobilitätsalternativen sind eine wichtige Einflussgröße für das Mobilitätsverhalten, wie die Ziel- und Verkehrsmittelwahl, und beeinflussen somit entscheidend die ökologische Nachhaltigkeit des Verkehsrssystems. Daher widmet sich dieser Beitrag den Wirkungen des autonomen Fahrens auf die Nutzerkosten, indem sämtliche variablen und ggf. fixen Kosten für unterschiedliche Fahrzeug- und Antriebstypen für nicht-autonom fahrende und autonom fahrende Fahrzeuge vergleichend gegenübergestellt werden. Die Abschätzungen beziehen sich auf privat genutzte Pkws, Taxis sowie Busse im öffentlichen Verkehr.Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass autonome Mobilitätsangebote das Potenzial haben, die Nutzerkosten für die motorisierte Mobilität spürbar zu verringern. Durch die Einsparung von Fahrpersonal können insbesondere Mobilitätsdienstleistungen des öffentlichen Verkehrs sowie Taxidienste wesentlich kostengünstiger erbracht werden (Einsparungspotenzial 39–58%). Auch die Nutzerkosten des motorisierten individualverkehrs werden sich durch die Automatisierung verringern. Unter zusätzlicher Berücksichtigung des Reisezeiteinsparungspotenzials könnten sich endlerkosten mit dem autonomen Privat-Pkw um rund 20% verringern. Um die Chancen der Automatisierung für eine nachhaltigere Mobilität zu nutzen, und gleichzeitig involvierte Risiken – zum Beispiel die Entstehung induzierten Verkehrs durch die Verbesserung des Angebots, häufige Leerfahrten, oder die Verlagerung von Nachfrage vom öffentlichen Verkehr zum motorisierten Individualverkehr – zu vermeiden, ist eine flankierende Begleitung durch die Politik unbedingt erforderlich. Aufgrund der Interdependenzen zwischen Verkehrsangebot und strategischen Entscheidungen wie Wohn- und Standortwahl, erfordert die Automatisierung des Verkehrs zudem eine besonders enge Verzahnung von Raum-, Stadt- und Verkehrsplanung

description: Many enamelled art objects of the Green Vauk Museum, Dresden, have been suffering a severe deterioration of the enamel layers during the last 20 to 30 years. The authors obtained three splinters of about 200 mg weight each of green, blue, and opaque turquoise enamel of the Aurangzeb ensemble. Model glasses of these originals were prepared which should match them as closely as possible. The investigations showed that the simple degree of network polymerization related to the SiO2/Na2O ratio is insufficient to understand their chemical properties even if one takes components such as MgO, CaO or AI2O3 also into consideration. To understand further structural influences IR, UV/VIS, and EPR spectroscopy studies were performed on the enamels, and it could be evidenced that components such as MnO, Fe2O3, CuO, CoO, PbO and SnO2 not only act as colorants or opacifiers but also as stabilizers of these materials. Taking this into account the chemical and physical behavior of the respective enamels in the museum can be elucidated.

description: With the AV Portal 1 , the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) 2 in collaboration with the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI)3 has developed a user-oriented platform for scientific films. This portal offers free access to high-quality computer visualisations, simulations, experiments and interviews as well as recordings of lectures and conferences from the fields of science and technology. The automatic video analysis of the TIB AV Portal includes not only structural analysis (scene recognition), but also text, audio and image analysis. Automatic indexing by the AV Portal describes videos at the segment level, enabling pinpoint searches to be made within videos. Films are allocated a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which means they can be referenced clearly. Individual film segments are allocated a Media Fragment Identifier (MFID), which enables the video to be referenced down to the second and cited. The creator of the audiovisual media segment can choose between an Open Access licence and a declaration of consent, enabling them to decide how they wish to permit TIB to utilise the material. TIB recommends the “CC-Namensnennung – Deutschland 3.0” licence, which ensures that the creator is acknowledged and permits the comprehensive use of audiovisual media in research and teaching.

description: Corrosion of refractory silica brick and problematic air quality issues surrounding particulate emissions are two important glass manufacturing problem areas that have been tied to volatilized sodium and its transport throughout the melt tank. Although there is some understanding of the relationship between tank operating conditions and tank atmosphere sodium levels, until recently direct quantitative measurements of sodium levels have been limited to extractive sampling methods followed by laboratory analysis. Excimer laser induced fragmentation (ELIF) fluorescence spectroscopy is a technique that permits the measurement of volatilized NaOH in high temperature environments on a time scale of less than one second. The development of this method and the construction of field portable instrumentation for glass furnace applications are reported. Characteristics of the method are outlined, including equipment configuration, detection sensitivity, and calibration methodology. Results from a small batch furnace and two com mercial float glass furnaces are used to show the potential impact and the existing limitations of the ELIF approach for real time NaOH vapor monitoring. This method is shown to be effective in industrial settings and presents an approach to optimize burner settings.

description: The sticking of glass on mould materials is a critical problem since it can lead to the Interruption of glass Container production. This study is a contribution to understanding the phenomena at the origin of sticking. The experiments involve loading and spreading glass gobs on flat metallic Substrates. They are performed directly on a glassmaking machine, thus the thermal conditions of the processes are simulated as closely as possible. Special attention is paid to characterizing the metal and glass surfaces before and after contact using a surface profilometer, AFM, and SEM with an EDX spectrometer. The influence on sticking of mould temperature, surface roughness and surface chemistry (nonoxidized, pre-oxidized and lubricated) is investigated.
