The Design of Innovative CIP Machine for Heat Exchangers
No full textAbstractThe heat exchanger is part of a device which is designed to effectively transfer heat from one environment to another. Exchangers are widely used in heating, cooling, air conditioning, power stations, chemical factories, petrochemical factories, oil refineries using them in the processing of natural gas and also used in sewage treatment. The heat exchanger needs as well as other technical equipment regular servicing and maintenance. The cleaning of exchanger, which is soldered or separable (without the need for disassembly) constructed, provides portable CIP machines. The paper deals with possibilities of design the CIP machines which take account of all factors for potential using in the cleaning process. There is described development of innovative CIP machine which use the special polypropylene pneumatic pump to exchange special cleaning medium which release impurities and sediments through chemical processes in the distribution pipelines
Recovery of heavy metals from MSW molten fly ash by CIP method
No full textMolten fly ash (MFA), generated by the melting process of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) solid residues in Japan, contains considerable amounts of heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd. Therefore, MFA is classified as a hazardous waste and needs treatment for detoxification or recovery of heavy metals as secondary sources. Carrier-in-Pulp (CIP) method, which is similar in principle with the Carbon-in-Pulp technology for gold recovery from ores, was proposed to recover these heavy metals from molten fly ash. Unlike the traditional Carbon-in-Pulp process, the carrier or adsorbent in the Carrier-in-Pulp method is not only limited to carbon; other materials such as Fe powder can also be used. Moreover, other physical separation techniques such as magnetic separation can also be employed to harvest the carrier from the leach pulp. The present study, which can be regarded as a batch mode carbon-in-pulp process, investigated the application of the CIP technique to recover heavy metals from MSW molten fly ash containing 10.2 wt% Zn, 2.78 wt% Pb, 0.14 wt% Cu, and 0.12 wt% Cd. Granular activated carbon (GAC) was utilized as an adsorbent in batch multi- and single-component adsorption tests and experiments involving the CIP method using NaCl as lixiviant. The effects of activated carbon dosage, pH, NaCl concentration, and treatment time were determined. Adsorption tests showed that the competition of metal ions present in a multi-component system suppressed the adsorption of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd on GAC but the suppression can be minimized by increasing the GAC dosage. Around 90-100% of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd were extracted from MFA at various conditions. At the optimum conditions (5 kmol m^[-3] NaCl, 10 g GAC, pH 5-6, and 3 hours treatment time), GAC recovered 57% Zn, 40% Pb, 90% Cu, and 54% Cd. The leaching test confirmed that the extraction of Pb from the CIP-treated residue was below the standard, thus, satisfying the land-filling guidelines in Japan
Rising from the Ashes: Improving Cancer Outcomes with Cancer-Informed Psychotherapy (CIP)
No full textThis thesis explores the potential impact of psychodynamic psychotherapy on cancer outcomes. Cancer has long been connected to emotional factors including depression, difficulty with emotional expression, and recent loss. Based on the author’s belief that emotional factors played an important role in his struggle with lymphoma and unlikely survival, he applied hermeneutic and heuristic methodologies to explore emotional factors that contribute to cancer and how psychological interventions can improve diseases outcomes. The author presents his model of cancer-informed psychotherapy (CIP), which includes elements of depth psychological and psychoanalytic approaches to psychotherapy and places special focus on connection to one’s inner healer, somatic integration, and the rekindling of life force. Mindfulness meditation, anchored in a group practice, is also recommended as a complementary approach to inner commune. The researcher proposes that CIP can be a valuable adjunct to cancer treatment and can positively impact the length and quality of survival

No full textThis study aimed to measure physiological stress response related to Capabilities in Practice (CiPs) using wearable technology. Surgical residents wore WHOOP4.0 sensors for 6-weeks with CiP event diaries and Abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (AMBI) scores recorded. A surgical training program serving a single UK (Wales) deanery. 23 Surgical residents participated (13 male, median age 30 [26-35] year). Median Heart Rate Variability (HRV) varied by resident grade (Core Surgical Training (CST) resident 58 vs. Higher Surgical Training (HST) resident 48 ms, p 3 (consistent with burnout) was found in 71.4% CST vs. 30.1% HST (p < 0.001) and 49.1% males vs. 60.9% females (p < 0.001) and was inversely related to HRV and sleep efficiency (p < 0.001). Stress response varied by 20% (shift profile) and 30% (CiP) highlighting daily clinician physical demand. Adverse sleep profiles were seen related to emergency work, in particular night shifts, impacting sleep quantity and quality. [Abstract copyright: Copyright © 2025 The Author(s).

Goldman School of Dental Medicine, 2016 (Department of Restorative Sciences and Biomaterials)Includes bibliographic references: leaves 87-94.Objectives: This in-vitro study was designed to investigate the mechanical properties, and translucency of alumina processed by two methods: Cold Isostaic Pressing (CIP) and Hot Isostaic Pressing (HIP).
Materials and Methods: The alumina specimens used in this study were made from Almatis CT-SDP-3000 powder using both the CIP and HIP methods. Sixty cylinders were fabricated and cut into discs, and forty rectangular blocks were pressed and then made into crowns using the Sirona inLab MCXL milling machine. All cylinders and crowns were sintered in a (Vita Zycromat furnace), and the thirty cylinders and twenty crowns were sent for hot isostaic pressing at the (American Ohio Pressing company). For flexural testing, ten specimens for each of the three CIP and HIP disc groups were polished using 6 µm, 15 µm, and 25 µm micro-grit diamond-polishing pads, then loaded under compression using a universal mechanical testing machine (5566A, Instron) at a crosshead rate of 0.5 mm/min until fracture occurred. The crowns were cemented onto prefabricated aluminum dies using (Durelon) Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement. Ten crowns were subjected to a static load to failure test in universal mechanical testing machine. Another ten crowns from both groups were subjected to cyclic loading at 30% of the mean failure load in a water baths for I 05 cycles at a frequency of 1 Hz, and then their load to failure was tested under compression. Twenty CIP and HIP discs were subjected to translucency testing using the Benchtop spectrophotometer (i5, Xrite), and another ten _ CIP and HIP discs were tested for Vicker's hardness number using a microhardness tester (Micromet 2003, Buehler). Both the cylinders and rectangular blocks were tested for density before and after sintering. The grain size measurements were conducted under a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM, SU6600, Hitachi). Selected failed specimens were also subjected to fractographic analysis using FESEM.
Results: The biaxial flexural test found that the load to failure of CIP specimens was 307.5 ± 34.2 MPa for the 6µm group, 293 ± 24 MPa for the 15µm group, and 302.7± 48 MPa for the 25µm group. The load to failure of HIP specimens was 373 ± 53 MPa for the 6µm group, 300.5 ±78 MPa for the 15µm group, and 281 ± 28 MPa for the 25µm group. The mean failure loads and standard deviation values for Both CIP and HIP crowns under static and cyclic loading are as follows: The CIP specimens failed at 4527 ± 1272 N under static loading and 2843 ± 1078 N under cyclic loading. The HIP specimens failed at 4912 ± 1505 N under static loading and 4676 ± 1489 N under cyclic loading. The microhardness test showed that the CIP group had a mean hardness of 2389 ± 297 and the HIP group had a mean hardness of 3049 ± 544. The translucency test found that the CIP group had a mean transparency of 1.99 ±1.74, and the HIP group had a mean transparency of 6.75 ± 1.34.
Conclusions:
1) Effect of different polishing grit size on discs showed higher effect on the strength of HIP specimens, but not on CIP specimens. Specifically, polishing with a smaller grit size increased the strength of the HIP specimens.
2) Cyclic loading fatigue had a significant effect on the failure load of CIP crowns, but not on HIP crowns, that is, the HIP crowns were much stronger under cyclic loading than the CIP crowns.
3) Microhardness tests showed significant differences between CIP and HIP alumina, as the HIP specimens were much stronger than the CIP specimens.
4) Translucency test showed there was a significant difference between CIP and HIP alumina as the HIP specimens were much translucent than the CIP specimens. The fact that HIP resulted in much greater strength and transparency is promising for its use in creating both durable and cosmetically attractive dental repairs

Background
Since 2001, the Center for Intellectual Property (CIP) has hosted its Annual Symposium on Intellectual
Property, providing professional development for nearly 1000 individuals. While the great majority of
participants have represented a spectrum of interests in higher education, the symposia have also
drawn participants from the nonprofit sector, business and industry, and the legal community.
Everyone in the Sandbox
This year, in addition to a face-to-face audience and a
live webcast for individuals and institutions across the
country, the CIP was inspired by its symposium theme—
Copyright Monopoly: Playing the Innovation Game—to
offer an additional symposium venue that would bring
the face-to-face and online participants closer together
in a networked learning community. We thought that an
excellent way for both the CIP and its program
participants to explore playing the innovation game was
to do so within a metaverse, an environment rich with
innovation and creativity. Thus, the CIP presented its
unique symposium program in the virtual world of
Second Life (SL).
Over three days, the CIP synchronously streamed the
keynote addresses, panel presentations, and Q&A sessions occurring in real life to online participants
from across the U.S. and abroad, represented by avatars in SL. The program agenda also included
roundtable discussions on topics related to the symposium theme. While real-life participants gathered
in small group discussions, SL participants met concurrently with fellow avatars in small group
discussions—one of which was facilitated by Kathleen Puckett from UMUC's Center for Support of
Instruction (CSI). Through text chat in SL and facilitators in both SL and real life, we were able to open
channels for dialogue between the two worlds during Q&A sessions and reporting out from the real-life
and SL roundtable discussions. One result of the roundtable sessions will be a Best Practices Document
composed of all the contributions from roundtable participants in both SL and face-to-face
environments.
The Experience
Two large projection screens in the physical conference room occasionally displayed the live action from
SL so that real-life participants could see the SL participants and occasionally themselves on the screen
in SL. Camera views in real life were able to pan to bring images of the speakers, presenters, and other
real-life participants to the SL audience. SL participants could, at times, also see themselves on the

screen in SL when the cameras captured the images from SL being projected on the screens in real life.
The entire experience had a definite "wow" factor.
CIP's invaluable partner in this endeavor was the
New Media Consortium (NMC). In addition to
providing the secure, participants-only online
conference environment and the means of streaming
into SL, NMC also provided within its conference
center multiple virtual signs displaying CIP images
(e.g., symposium graphics, free virtual t-shirts) and
links to resources for both the symposium (e.g.,
readings, agenda) and the CIP more generally (e.g.,
publications, RSS feed of the CIP blog). For the
roundtable sessions, NMC created whiteboards in two
smaller classroom settings on which were projected
the discussion questions for each session. In
addition, NMC personnel conducted two orientation sessions for participants a few days prior to the
event to acquaint participants with SL and the conference center so that everyone would feel more
comfortable moving about and engaging during the actual symposium. Finally, NMC provided in-world
support via avatars, a virtual help desk, e-mail, and a toll-free phone number.
Look, Ma!
The CIP had a camera crew in the real-life conference room, which provided a live feed to the Internet
for webcast viewers and also provided a video stream to a computer in the room managed by Laddie
Odom of CSI. Combining the video stream with an audio feed from the Marriott house audio, Laddie
used streaming server and broadcaster software to send the feed to a server hosted by NMC, which in
turn streamed it live onto a projection screen located in the Babbage Amphitheater within the NMC
Conference Center in SL.
The CIP, and, by extension, those in SL, experienced no problems in transmitting or receiving the
symposium, with two exceptions. First, a small issue arose one morning before the program began
when a few avatars experienced being temporarily blocked by SL from access to the conference
location, but this issue was quickly resolved. Second, we experienced a larger technological issue
during one panel session when we attempted to have an individual panelist from within the SL
conference center join the other real-life panelists by bringing live audio from SL into the physical
conference room over the house audio while showing the avatar on the projection screen. The difficulty
was an audio feedback loop being generated and multiplying as the audio from SL and real life
mixed. The culprit, we believe, may have been inadvertently having open microphones or audio
sources across the multiple computers in the chain. Unfortunately, time and circumstances did not
permit a second attempt to bridge the two worlds in this more significant manner or a move to an
alternative for bringing the avatar's audio into the real-life conference room. As a result, the two
audiences regrettably missed an opportunity to feel that much more connected to each other, with the
real-world audience not being able to hear the SL panelist and interact with him via Q&A, and the SL
audience not being able to have the program happening directly in front of them and to feel as though
they were in the primary venue instead of watching it remotely.
All in all, though, and without question, using SL as a venue for the symposium worked very well and
generated enthusiastic responses and questions from participants all around. This inter-world
symposium was engaging for attendees in both locations, and perhaps especially for those of us
privileged to stand on the technological bridge between the two and observe what was happening in
and between the two worlds. Whether we consider that we helped forge connections between
participants in real life and SL or that we facilitated forming connections between real lives in the real

world via the SL platform, the 2008 symposium in SL was a first attempt at education in a new
environment—one which we certainly do not anticipate being the last.

Lower Passaic River Restoration Project / Newark Bay Study: Draft Community Involvement Plan (CIP)
No full textThe Lower Passaic River is a 17-mile tidal stretch from the Dundee Dam to the river mouth at Newark Bay. The river has a long history of industrialization, resulting in degraded water quality, contamination, wetland loss, and abandoned properties along the shore. The goal of the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project is to develop a plan to improve water quality, remediate the sediments and restore the ecological health of the Lower Passaic River. This is a draft of a Community Involvement Plan (CIP), which contains charts and graphics to enable the reader to see at a glance project activities and opportunities for public involvement. The CIP is divided into two parts to help the reader to go directly to the sections of greatest interest. Part 1 includes: Overview, Project Background, Project Activities, and Community Profile. Part 2 is the action plan and includes: History of Community Involvement, Key Community Concerns, Communication Goals, Community Involvement Tools and Outreach Activities, and Evaluation of Community Involvement and Outreach. There are also a number of appendices that include project contacts, meeting locations, locations of information repositories, and a glossary of terms.The author/partner agencies are: US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), US Army Corps of Engineers, New York District (Corps), NJ Department of Transportation/Office of Maritime Resources (NJDOT/OMR), NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
