HINTIKKA, E.L. and NIKULIN, M. 1998. Airborne mycotoxins in agricultural and indoor environments. Indoor Air – International Journal of Indoor Air Quality and Climate Supp. 4: 66–70. This overview with 33 references discusses the increasing reports of inhalation exposure to mycotoxins in agricultural environments and in water damaged buildings with mould problems. There is evidence that inhalat...

(Hi) Materials.?The aggregate may be made with 1 part of cement and 3 to 4 of sand, or 1 of cement with 1 of sand and 3 of coal ashes. Iron wire l/8th to 1/16th inch in diameter should be used in every limb, bar or curve of the window. Kerosene oil is good enough for lubricating the mould. Moulds should be emptied, i.e., windows cast, on a layer of sand, spread out and levelled, to prevent stic...

Despite some pitfalls in the practical application of the gas assisted injection moulding (GAIM) process, it offers a number of advantages over conventional injection moulding. However, its inherent complexity requires an advanced control over several additional parameters. This study is preliminar to examine the gas void and its relation to channel geometry and processing conditions for differ...

this paper describes the work done between iust and two iranian steelworks to evaluate and review the performance of mould fluxes in current use for continuous casting. calculations have been performed to compare actual values of powder consumption, viscosity and break temperature of the fluxes in current use with required values derived from published empirical rules for casting conditions. it...

For filamentous fungi (moulds), species-specific interpretive breakpoints and epidemiological cut-off values (ECVs) have only been proposed for a limited number of fungal species-antifungal agent combinations, with the result that clinical breakpoints are lacking for most emerging mould pathogens. In the current study, we have compiled minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data for 4869 clinic...

Wood and combinations of wood and plywood is the most traditional formwork in mould-based shaping of construction components. This kind of formwork usually doesn’t include curvatures, but favours straight lines and sharp corners yielding in angular shape concrete building blocks. In this paper we describe a novel robotized method for manufacturing individual concrete elements with specific shap...

3D sand mould printing using binder jet technology can enable many technical improvements in casting practice, including part consolidation, design of parts to optimise the consumption materials and hazardous chemicals, on-demand flexible size manufacturing near customer. Incorporating artificial intelligence optimising moulds, process parameters, solidification processes may help automate a pr...

This work was conducted in order to study how the health of adults is affected by the presence of moisture or mould in the home. A random sample of 310 houses in Finland was studied during the years 1993-1994. The houses were investigated for visual signs of moisture by a surveyor, and observations of mould were reported by the occupants. A moisture problem was observed in 52% and a mould probl...

For a sample steel casting of cylindrical shape that was cast in metallic mould, the analysis influence and importance main boundary condition on simulation accuracy temperature field system casting-mould-environment performed. this system, frame bottom top casting, casting-mould interface analysed. As comparing quantity for accuracy, time-dependent (by means isotherms) mould total solidificati...
