Main Stages Of Automated System Of Processes For Determining And Ensuring Functional And Parametric Compatibility Of Production And Technological Systems, Sarvar Botir Ugli Nabiyev

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

This article presents the main stages of the development of an automated system of processes for determining and ensuring functional and parametric compatibility (FPC) of components of production and technological systems (PTS), in particular production and technological modules (PTM) of machine-building production, respectively, based on the analysis and systematization of technological zones of loading of the main technological equipment (MTE) and the construction of coating surfaces, the main parameters of industrial robots and storage systems (SS), determination and mathematical formalization of coating surfaces and guiding planes of MTE loading zones, formation of types of analytical dependences of FPC PTM functions, …


Image Analysis Of Charged Bimodal Colloidal Systems In Microgravity., Adam J. Cecil May 2021

Image Analysis Of Charged Bimodal Colloidal Systems In Microgravity., Adam J. Cecil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Colloids are suspensions of two or more phases and have been topics of research for advanced, tunable materials for decades. Stabilization of colloids is typically attributed to thermodynamic mechanisms; however, recent studies have identified transport or entropic mechanisms that can potentially stabilize a thermodynamically unstable colloidal system. In this study, suspensions of silsesquioxane microparticles and zirconia nanoparticles were dispersed in a nitric acid solution and allowed to aggregate for 8-12 days in microgravity aboard the International Space Station. The suspensions were subsequently imaged periodically at 2.5x magnification. Due to the inadequacy of existing image analysis programs, the python package “Colloidspy” …
