Effects of Scale Reduction Technologies and Chemical Inhibitors on Calcium Precipitation in Premise Plumbing Systems
… Scaling can cause energy inefficiencies, flow reduction, pressure loss, and erosion corrosion damage. Consumers are also concerned with unsightly soap scum, cloudy water, discolored glassware, and failing infrastructure including appliances and fixtures. There are many treatments available that …

The role of emotional intelligence in the quality of leader-follower relationship
… in an online survey questionnaire for scale reduction and validation. Factor analysis was employed for the purpose of scale reduction. Meanwhile, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed with Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) for the purpose of scale validation. The second …

Containing Meaning: Miniature Pottery on Bronze Age Crete
… Considered alongside the abundance of small-scale Minoan material culture, including figurines, seals, miniature wall paintings, and models, miniature pottery appears to be one facet of a larger semiotic ideology – one well-versed in the language and power of the miniature. This thesis …

On the reduction of metal oxides in non-equilibrium hydrogen plasmas
… However, the technologies currently used for the reduction of metal oxides can produce deleterious byproducts. Hence, there exists a need to develop improved processes for reducing metal oxides. Atomic hydrogen, consisting of dissociated hydrogen radicals, has the potential to be such a reagent: …

Automatic derivation of schematic maps from large scale digital geographic datasets for mobile GIS
… generalization is the process by which small scale maps are derived from large scale maps. This requires the application of operations such as simplification, selection, displacement and amalgamation to map features subsequent to scale reduction. The work is concerned with the problem of …

Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone.
… correlate with high corrosion rates of thickly-scaled steels. Scales became compact and resistant to cathodic reduction as exposure times increased but corrosion rates tended to increase with exposure time. Polarization of scaled specimens in synthetic sea water revealed increased cathodic …

Network Based Approaches for Clustering and Location Decisions
… in large graphs, graph clustering in large scale graphs, determining location of facilities for pre-positioning emergency relief supplies, and selecting nodes to form a virtual backbone in a wireless sensor network. To begin with, a new clique relaxation called a k-community is defined as a …

Investigation of mixing in the melting regime during polymer compounding
… polymer blends. where most of the size scale reduction occurs. is studied. Starting from an initial solid pellet mixture of two components. the progression to the final two-phase viscoelastic melt involves an intermediate stage where either one or both the components are melting or …
