Abstract:
The study of scale deposits on the inner surface of the glass coatings of pipes was carried out. Experimental studies have shown that during long-term operation, slight deposits of scale centers are observed on the surface of the glass coatings of pipes, while a strong layer of scale forms on the inner surfaces of metal pipes. The virtual absence of deposits in vitrified pipes is due to the increased cleanliness of the glass surface and its resistance to the aggressiveness of substances dissolved in sea water. This eliminates the formation of scale centers with glass so small that it is washed

Abstract:
The prime intention of this study is to develop and validate the efficiency of a fuzzy logic model to predict the tensile strength of bleach washed denim garments. Denim washing is nowadays a widely used technology to give a worn-out appearance to denim garments and thus add esthetic to that garments’ appearance and outlook. In the case of regular overall fading of denim, bleach washing is very popular. At the same time, it is also a matter of concern that the process optimization of bleach washing is critical as bleaching agents have an adverse effect on the fabrics. Among others, bleach conc

Abstract:
Contrast and Brightness are two major factors, which affect the superiority of an image for easy or stainless or pleasant viewing. Overall lighting condition and darkness condition of the image collectively called as brightness, whereas differences in brightness or intensity range between the low and high-intensity value of an image are called as contrast. Histogram equalization is a very famous approach for image contrast adjustment or enhancement in image processing, but which produces sometimes washed out appearance, especially for a small region of the grayscale image.

Abstract:
Scan-digitizing is one of the main ways to digitize the original. Building scanner profiles are usual practice to get the consistent color. In the paper, we describe how to get the best possible ‘Raw RGB’ image from a scanner. First we measured the accuracy of those different input profiles. The profile accuracy depends on the relationship between scanner RGB and the corresponding LAB or XYZ values. Then we compared the range of those input profile tones. The ideal tone response curve can be decided by setting the scanner gamma. So a good input profile can faithfully render the dark and murky

An attached fungal growth has appeared in a fixed biofilm process at the waste water treatment plant of the City of Oulu, Finland. Due to the filamentous morphology of the fungi, biofilm support material is easily washed out. The appearance is believed to be the result of the unbalanced availability of nutrients, where phosphorus has been identified as the key component. Experimental work concentrated on the influence of phosphorus on the fungal growth. Bench scale experiments showed that a higher uptake of phosphorus for the removal of organic material is possible, which also resulted in a su

Abstract:
Fuzzy logic-based histogram equalization (FHE) is proposed for image contrast enhancement. The FHE consists of two stages. First, fuzzy histogram is computed based on fuzzy set theory to handle the inexactness of gray level values in a better way compared to classical crisp histograms. In the second stage, the fuzzy histogram is divided into two subhistograms based on the median value of the original image and then equalizes them independently to preserve image brightness. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of proposed FHE algorithm are evaluated using two well-known parameters like ave

Colour is the most important part to make any fabric attractive, but its use for dying has become a major environmental hazard. Colloidal particles present with color increases the turbidity, gives bad appearance, foul odour, and obstructs the penetration of sunlight into water bodies required for the photosynthesis process, which interferes with the oxygen flow mechanism and hence marine life. So, it is essential to remove such pollutants from the waste water before its final disposal into water bodies.

Abstract UREX+ is a solvent extraction process for partitioning spent fuel constituents to lead to safer and cheaper disposal of high-level waste. The procedure is based on an annular centrifugal stainless steel contactor developed for solvent extraction. During the centrifugal contactor operation there are two immiscible fluid phases, aqueous and organic, that move in opposite directions as they flow from stage to stage. These phases, which are mixed to accomplish separation and later separated, flow through two different centrifugal contactor regions called “mixing” and “separation” zones. I

To see the monitor image clearly, the observer would like to turn down the room lighting. But in this case, the observer will be unable to see the printed image.
