    INNOVATIVE CENTRIFUGAL CONCENTRATOR BOWL FROM SEPRO MINERAL SYSTEMS

    Get PDF
    Modern centrifugal concentrators have become standard equipment for most precious metal extraction technologies due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness and efficiency. However, as with any other technology, there is always room for improvement. Sepro Mineral Systems, Canada\u27s largest supplier of mineral processing equipment, has developed a new Frontier centrifugal concentrator bowl (patent pending), which will soon be installed on all Falcon gravity concentrators, and will also be able to serve as a replacement part for most Knelson concentrator models

    A osteoporose é uma doença esquelética silenciosa, de manifestação tardia, geralmente diagnosticada após a primeira fratura. O exercício físico isométrico de alta intensidade é uma ferramenta importante para manter a saúde do sistema músculo-esquelético. Ele contribui para o ganho e manutenção da força muscular e da massa óssea. Esse tipo de exercício é recomendado para prevenção e tratamento da osteoporose. O SEPRO - Sistema de exercício para prevenção da osteoporose é um equipamento desenvolvido para a execução segura da extensão da coluna, e fortalecimento de membros superiores e inferiores, exercícios que beneficiam a saúde do sistema Músculo-esquelético e favorecem o ganho de massa óssea nas áreas proximais do fêmur e coluna lombar. O equipamento consiste numa plataforma estática, com haste de sustentação em T para tornar o exercício seguro durante sua realização. Utilizando-se de uma célula de carga, o equipamento trará um feedback visual ao indivíduo. O Feedback em tempo real facilita a dosagem de treino e a visualização do incremento de carga. Pretende-se que este equipamento seja capaz de auxiliar adultos, jovens e idosos em sua rotina de treino de forma prática, portátil e eficaz com relação ao melhoramento de massa muscular e densidade óssea mineral.Não recebi financiament

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Diseño e implementación de un sistema de embalado de piezas de inyección de plástico mediante robots Sepro

    Este proyecto consiste en el diseño e implementación de un sistema automático que embala piezas de inyección con robots Sepro. En las instalaciones de Valeo Térmico Zaragoza, tras el traslado de la factoría de Martorellas(Barcelona) se ha detectado la oportunidad para la automatización de descarga de piezas de inyección. Lo que permitiría reducir de tres a un operario en la zona. Inicialmente las piezas inyectadas destinadas al montaje de HVACs se colocaban en cintas transportadoras donde los operarios recogían y embalaban en cajas. Mediante el uso de robots cartesianos de 5 ejes, un sistema de transportadores coloca cajas de tipo KLT en una zona precisa para que el robot introduzca las piezas una una. Cuando la caja está llena se da la orden de avance y las cajas salen para ser recogidas por el operario. Los proveedores para el desarrollo han sido Mk Kitz Hispania para el sistema automático de transportadores y Sepro Robótica para el manipulador de piezas de inyección. El jefe de proyecto ha sido el encargado de integrar y coordinar ambos sistemas participando en el diseño y programación. Además de la automatización del proceso de embalado, se han programado controles de calidad mediante báscula de pesado y parámetros de inyección

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
