Interview with Michael Novak, philosopher, educator and author
No full textMichael Novak, at the time of this interview, was an associate professor of philosophy and religious studies at the State University of New York-Westbury and author of The Rise of the Unmeltable Ethnic. Novak believes that the tragedy of the American education system is that it separates people from their roots and creates a schism between the educated and the uneducated. In this interview with WTMJ-TV host Jim Peck, Novak describes what he sees as two major trends on the current American scene: the increasing growth of metropolitan government coupled with a general move toward family and community self-sufficiency.GrayscaleSoun

Remarks In Hadži’s original preparation, labelled “ Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer pulli”, with two cover glasses on the same microscope slide, there are two males and a female. One male corresponds to the type specimen of Nemastoma (Stridulostoma) seliskari Hadži, 1973 (Hadži 1973a). For this species, Hadži (ibid.) founded a new subgenus Stridulostoma based on the existence of an alleged “stridulatory organ” on the Fe III (Hadži 1973a: figs 37č–d). Gruber (1976: 797) explained that the stridulatory organ alone does not justify establishing of a new subgenus, especially because this new species differs from N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum Hadži, 1973 exclusively by possession of this organ, and accordingly, synonymized Stridulostoma with Nemastoma. Following these remarks, Schönhofer (2013: 36) synonymized N. seliskari with N. b. pluridentatum. We found that the portion of the Fe III, identified by Hadži (1973a) as a stridulatory organ in the type specimen, is in fact a depression-damage, caused by desiccation. Moreover, such damage is present in nearly all (sic!) the other femora of this freshly moulted specimen, but nothing resembles the fine lamellated structure shown in Hadži’s drawing (1973a: figs 37č–d). No similar structure was found in the specimens of Nemastoma collected later on Mt. Mirna gora. One might imagine that a careless inspection under a microscope at low magnification could result in the illusion of a ʻstridulatory organʼ. However, the drawing of its lamellae cannot be considered anything but a pure fabrication. Moreover, Pa-Fe in Hadži (1973a: fig. 33c), being under the same cover glass in the preparation, belongs to the same specimen, although Hadži (ibid.) ascribed it to N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum.

Personal and Biobibliography of the Slovenian Author Lojze Novak
No full textABSTRACTPurpose: The article explores the life and work of the Slovenian author Lojze Novak in order to get more recognition of the author in Slovenia. The article initially deals with the publishing activities of Argentina\u27s diaspora. Methodology/approach: In order to create the bibliography the following bibliographic methods were used: searching and collecting the Novak´s works, bibliographic description as well as the arrangement of his opus. Novak´s works were obtained from Argentina, specifically from the Tine Debeljak legacy, Novak’s descendants, his contemporaries, friends and acquaintances, and from the National and University Library (NUK). Bibliographic descriptions are based on the primary documents therefore the data are accurate and verified. Bibliographic descriptions follow the Guidelines for the application of the ISBDs to the description of component parts (1998). Novak\u27s personal bibliography includes 60 units arranged into published (52) and unpublished (8) works. Published works which consist of works of fiction (46) and nonfiction (6) are arranged chronologically by the publication year whereas within each year they are organised alphabetically. Novak´s biobibliography which includes 6 works and is arranged chronologically has also been produced through this process. Results: Since the author Lojze Novak has not won recognition in Slovenia yet, he has been introduced to our country by the personal bibliography and biobibliography that resulted from this research. Originality/practical implications: By doing the research into Novak´s opus eight of his unpublished works in manuscript form were discovered and included in his primary personal bibliography. It is therefore a comprehensive bibliography in the field.IZVLEČEKNamen: Prispevek želi predstaviti življenje in delo slovenskega pisatelja Lojzeta Novaka ter pripomoči k njegovi boljši prepoznavnosti. Rojen je bil v Prekmurju in je kasneje emigriral v Argentino, kjer je ustvarjal predvsem kratko prozo. Obravnavana je tudi publicistična dejavnost argentinske diaspore. Metodologija: Za izdelavo bibliografije so bile uporabljene naslednje bibliografske metode: iskanje in zbiranje Novakovih del, bibliografski opis ter ureditev. Novakova dela so bila pridobljena iz Argentine, natančneje iz zapuščine Tineta Debeljaka, ter od Novakovih potomcev in še živečih vrstnikov, prijateljev in znancev, nekaj pa tudi iz Narodne in univerzitetne knjižnice. Bibliografski opisi temeljijo na primarnih dokumentih, zato so podatki natančni in preverjeni. Bibliografski opisi del so izdelani na osnovi Smernic za uporabo ISBD-jev pri opisu sestavnih delov (1998). Rezultati: Novakova osebna bibliografija, ki skupaj obsega 60 enot, je urejena glede na objavljena (52) in neobjavljena dela (8). Objavljena dela so razdeljena na leposlovna (46) in neleposlovna (6) dela, znotraj tega je ureditev kronološka po letnicah, v okviru posamezne letnice pa po abecedi naslovov del. Izdelana je tudi Novakova objektivna bibliografija, ki obsega šest del, in je urejena kronološko.Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Novakova osebna, primarna bibliografija je sedaj nadgrajena z osmimi neobjavljenimi deli v obliki rokopisov. Bibliografija je izčrpna
Metal plasticity and fatigue at high temperature
No full textThe situation in which a component or structure is maintained at high temperature under the action of cyclic thermal and/or mechanical loadings represents, perhaps, one of the most demanding engineering applications—if not, in fact, the most demanding one. Examples can be found in many industrial fields, such as automotive (cylinder head, engine, disk brakes), steel-making (hot rolling), machining (milling, turning), aerospace (turbine blades), and fire protection systems (fire doors). The presence of high temperatures usually induces some amount of material plasticity or creep deformation in the most stressed regions of the structure. Plasticity, if combined with the action of cyclic loading variation, may lead to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) failure. In order to estimate the component fatigue life in such demanding operative condition, it is often necessary to characterize the high-temperature material behavior under cyclic loading, in terms, for example, of cyclic stress–strain response, strain hardening or softening, creep behavior, experimental fatigue strength under isothermal and/or non-isothermal conditions. Moreover, it is also necessary to develop a reliable structural durability approach that is able to include experimental results in numerical and/or predictive models (e.g., plasticity models, fatigue strength curves). The choice of the most appropriate material model to be used in simulations, or even calibrating the model to experimental data, often represents the most critical step in the whole design approach. Experimental techniques and modeling have to be properly managed to guarantee the reliability of the estimated fatigue life
Use of different hardfacing methods to enhance wear resistance
No full textNavarjanje je pomemben postopek povečevanja obrabne obstojnosti strojnih delov. V magistrski nalogi sta predstavljena postopka navarjanja z MAG tehnologijo in s PTA tehnologijo. Izvedli smo navarjanje z dodajnimi materiali, ki so trenutno v uporabi v podjetju Farmtech d. o. o., in jih primerjali z novima za uporabo s PTA in MAG tehnologijo. Za primerjavo smo izvedli test obstojnosti proti obrabi, meritev trdot v prerezu talonov in meritev površin namešanja. To smo nadgradili tudi s stroškovno in časovno analizo. Rezultati bodo služili kot smernice za odločitev k implementiranju PTA tehnologije v obstoječo proizvodnjo.Overlay welding is an important process for increasing the wear resistance of machine parts. In the master’s thesis, two welding processes are presented with MAG technology and PTA technology. We carried out welding with additive materials, which are currently in use in the company Farmtech d. o. o., and compared them with new ones for use with PTA and MAG technology. For comparison, we carried out a wear resistance test, hardness measurement in the cross-section of the samples, and measurement of mixing areas. We also upgraded this with a cost and time analysis. The results will serve as guidelines for the decision to implement PTA technology in existing production
