This paper presents a political economy model of inflation as a result of social conflict. Agents are heterogeneous in terms of income. Agents’ income levels determine their ability to hedge against the effects of inflation. The interaction of heterogeneous cash holdings and preferences over fiscal policy leads to conflict over how to finance government expenditure. The model makes a number of ...

Electric Discharge Machining is a non-conventional machining process, used to machining difficult to machine materials. The major problem faced while doing EDM is high tool wear rate, end wear, corner wear , surface roughness and low material removal rate,. In this research work experimental investigations have been made to find the machining characteristics of high density ultra fine graphite ...

High signal to noise ratio is important within non-destructive testing. To achieve automatic inspection, including automatic evaluation, it is even more important. Infrared thermography is a suitable method for automatic inspection. One drawback with thermography of metallic structures is that due to shiny surfaces the reflectance is high and the signal to noise ratio will be low. This paper pr...

Recently, efforts have been made to develop the use of dissimilar metal welding in industrial components. Pressurized water reactors (PWR) nuclear power plants frequently (DMW) their primary systems (NPP). The selection combination stainless steel and low alloy is adjusted working conditions work high-temperature environments. Nickel-based Inconel 82/182 used as a weld filler GTAW method joinin...

In accordance with Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, confirmatory methods for the detection of prohibited substances should comply with specific requirements, including the criteria for confirmation. Two strategies: multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and enhanced product ion (EPI) scanning functions were compared for confirming the anabolic compounds from synthetic stilbenes group in bovine urin...

By conventional melting and quenching methods, 3Yb2O3-0.2Tm2O3-xHo2O3 (wt%, x=0.2~1.2) was doped into an easily fiberized tellurite glass with composition of 78TeO2-10ZnO-12Na2O (mol%) to form YTH-TZN78 glasses. Under 976 nm excitation, the direct sensitizing effect of Yb ions (Yb→Ho) and indirect sensitizing and self-depopulating effects of Tm ions (Yb→Tm→Ho) were found to present intense red ...
