On The Assessment Of Aeolian Vibrations Of Damped Electrical Conductors, Francesco Foti, Stefano Corazza, Luca Martinelli

UBT International Conference

Aeolian vibrations are one of the main sources of wear damage and fatigue failures of overhead conductors and guard wires. Stockbridge dampers are often installed along the spans of electrical transmission lines to mitigate aeolian vibrations. The dynamic response of Stockbridge dampers is typically affected by a significant degree of variability, mainly due to the manufacturing process, which determines uncertainties in the identification of the mechanical parameters of a damper model. The present paper discusses the impact of these uncertainties on the prediction of the severity of aeolian vibrations within the framework of Monte Carlo simulations.

Indoor Air Quality Impacts Into Life Cycle Assessments Of Buildings And Building, Afrim Syla

UBT International Conference

Human exposure to indoor pollutant concentrations is receiving in-creasing interest in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Products used during con-struction and operation of a building can contribute to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems that affect occupants’ well-being. However, IAQ is conventionally not addressed in the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of buildings and building re-lated products even though IAQ leads to one of the areas of protection under LCA - human health impacts.

Detection Of Dimethyl Decarbonate In Multi-Fruit Juice Pet Pack With Velcorin (Dmdc) Indicator Paper, Ardit Hoti, Agon Aliu, Namik Durmishi

UBT International Conference

One of the problems with microbiological contamination in the non-alcoholic beverage production industry occurs during the filling of liquids into Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Even if all strict rules have been implemented during the production of non-alcoholic beverages, after the pasteurization of these beverages, one of the main problems remains the filling of liquids into PET bottles. This issue arises because microorganisms are found everywhere in the ambient air and on bottle caps. For this reason, Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is approved for use in a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages. Dimethyl dicarbonate is injected after the pasteurization of the juice …
