The increasing needs for basic materials has resulted in an increased production process of basic materials in a company. CV. Puspa is a manufacturing company engaged in the production of rice, on the production process, CV. Puspa often has a buildup of work so that it requires an alternative production scheduling optimally. This research was conducted to minimize the total time of completion using the Campbell Dudek Smith and Dannenbring method in determining efficient production scheduling. Based on the scheduling sequence obtained, the calculation results of the total completion time using the Campbell Dudek Smith method are less than or equal to the results of calculation using the Dannenbring method. So the Campbell Dudek Smith method is more efficient than the Dannenbring method to be applied to CV. Puspa.

The ability of the reservoir to deliver a certain quantity of gas depends both on the inflow performance relationship and the flowing bottom hole pressure. In order to determine the deliverability of the total well system, it is necessary to calculate all the parameters and pressure drops, one of which in the tubing. Calculation of pressure loss in the tubing is a very important parameter in the stability of fluid flow from the reservoir to the surface. The calculation of pressure loss in the tubing which is most widely used in the field is the Cullender and Smith Method. The purpose of this study is to validate why the Cullender and Smith method is most widely used in the field to determine the pressure loss in the tubing compared to other pressure loss in tubing methods. The methodology used in this study is calculating the pressure loss in the tubing with the Average Temperature and Deviation Factor Method, the Sukkar and Cornel Method, and the Cullender and Smith Method. After calculating the pressure loss in the tubing using each of these methods, then comparing the percent error of the calculation method with the results in the well. The data used in the calculation is the data from the MZ Field from 7 wells in the East Kalimantan area. The results of the average error percentage obtained from this study are the Average and Deviation Factor Method is 5.38%, the Sukkar and Cornell Method is 5.65%, and the Cullender and Smith Method is 3.83%. From this study, it can be said that the Cullender and Smith Method to be valid or the most accurate method for used in the field compared to other methods due to resulting the smallest percent error from the calculation.

An advanced salvage method is proposed for damaged ships to ensure a short-term decision-making process for a safe ocean towage to the repair yard. The residual longitudinal strength must be greater than the sum of the still water and the maximum vertical wave bending moment. The ultimate bending moment is determined numerically for a container vessel by using an incremental iterative approach (Smith method) and wave-induced loads are predicted by means of hydrodynamic analyses. Successful applicability of the advanced salvage method is demonstrated for a damaged container vessel, which was towed from La Libertad, Ecuador, via Panama to the repair yard in Zhoushan, China, in restricted environmental conditions.

Abstract. The space-borne fluxgate magnetometer (FGM) needs regular in-flight calibration to obtain its zero offset. Recently, a new method based on the properties of Alfvén waves for the zero offset calibration was developed by Wang and Pan (2021). They found that there exists an optimal offset line (OOL) in the offset cube for a pure Alfvén wave, and the zero offset can be determined by the intersection of at least two non-parallel OOLs. Since no pure Alfvén waves exist in the interplanetary magnetic field, the calculation of the zero offset relies on the selection of the highly Alfvénic fluctuation event. Here, we propose an automatic procedure to find highly Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind and calculate the zero offset. This procedure includes three parts: (1) selection of highly Alfvénic fluctuation events, (2) evaluation of the OOL of the selected fluctuation events, and (3) determination of the zero offset. We test our automatic procedure by applying it to the magnetic field data measured by the FGM onboard Venus Express. The tests reveal that our automatic procedure is able to achieve as good results as the Davis-Smith method. One advantage of our procedure is that the selection criteria and process for the highly Alfvénic fluctuation event are simpler. Our automatic procedure might also be applied to find fluctuation events for the Davis-Smith method after proper modification.

Background: Notable advancements in the selection indices have led to the development of exceptional breeding strategies, which have eventually led to the selection of elite dairy animals. The comparison of trends is facilitated by their estimation which permit the assessment of progress in a particular trait. The purpose of this study was to investigate genetic trends in economic traits of Murrah buffaloes, which is predominantly present as a high milk producer using the regression method. The study was designed to estimate the phenotypic, genetic and environmental trends, which represent the changes accrued over time and hence, determines the efficiency of breeding programme. Methods: The present study was conducted on 659 Murrah buffaloes, sired by 188 bulls, over a period of 27 years (1991-2017). The economic traits studied were first lactation milk yield (FLMY), first lactation length (FLL), age at first calving (AFC), first calving interval (FCI), first service period (FSP) and first dry period (FDP). The phenotypic trends were obtained as regression of population performance on year and the genetic trends were obtained by Smith method I and II. Result: The results revealed that the phenotypic trends obtained were significant and desirable for all the traits except for first lactation length, which was non-significant. The standard errors obtained by Smith method-I were higher than those obtained from method-II. As the Smith method-II avoids year to year fluctuations in the environment and those of contemporaries, it gives more realistic estimate as compared to the first method with lower standard error.

Abstract In Part 1 study, a time-domain collapse analysis method of ship hull girder was developed and named FE-Smith method. Hull girder was treated as elastoplastic beam model and Smith’s method was used for collapse analysis of cross sections. A concept of average stress-average plastic strain relationship was introduced so that nonlinear collapse behavior of members can be treated as pseudo strain-hardening/softening behavior. Fluid-structure interaction effects were considered. Uniform cross-section beam was assumed as a most fundamental study. In this Part 2, a container ship is taken as subject model. Not only FE-Smith analysis but also non-linear FE analyses using shell model for collapse parts are performed for comparison purpose. Two types of average stress-average strain curves are considered for FE-Smith analysis, i.e. obtained by Gordo-Soares formulae and by shell FEM. Applicability of FE-Smith method is examined comparing with more precise but time-consuming methods. Some parametric studies are also performed. Wave response will be reported in the next papers.

The article discloses the specific use of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) in the sea buckthorn juices production. The authors obtained data on the PVPP use possibility for selective polyphenols sorption with low molecular weight leading to the oxidation tones appearance and non-enzymatic absorption in the sea buckthorn juices production. The research relevance is to develop a technological solution that allows preserving the attractive appearance of sea buckthorn juices and ensuring long-term products storage. The research objects were commercially available PVPP, especially Kollidon CL-M, Plasdone C-15 and Polyclar V. The researchers determined organoleptic parameters by standard methods, mass concentration of total phenolic substances by the Folin–Ciocalteu method, and procyanidins by the BATE-Smith method; determined optical and chromatic characteristics of the studied sea buckthorn juices samples before and after treatment with PVPP preparations in accordance with the current OIV guidelines. Obtained results allowed to develop recommendations for the PVPP use, particularly Polyclar V, in the production of juice products based on sea buckthorn. The research states that this drug in dosages of 0.5-0.7 g / dm3 can effectively correct the organoleptic beverages characteristics, in particular eliminate brown tones in the color, as well as improve the taste and aroma characteristics of sea buckthorn juices.

<p>The zero offset of the fluxgate magnetometer in satellite orbit will be changed due to several factors. For this reason, the Davis-Smith method is proposed to calculate the zero compensation of the magnetometer based on the feature that the shear Alfvén waves do not change the total magnetic field strength. In fact, there is no pure Alfvén waves in the interplanetary space. In this paper, numerical simulation is used to analyze the influence of the amplitude, period and phase of the Alfvén waves and the time length of the data window on the zero offset of the magnetometer calculated by the Davis-Smith method in the presence of weak compressional waves. We find that Alfvén waves can produce a non-negligible error in the calculation of zero compensation only when its period is the same as the period of the compressional wave. The greater the amplitude of Alfvén waves, the smaller the error of the zero offset. The error of the zero offset is also affected by the initial phase of the Alfvén wave. In addition, the error of the zero offset tends to decrease to its true value for the longer the data window length.</p>

The ultimate limit state function is one of the premises for the assessment of structure strength and the safety of ships under severe conditions. In order to study the residual strength of damaged ships under the combined load of vertical and horizontal bending moments acting on the hull girder, the ultimate limit state function of a damaged ship under combined load, and its fitting methods are investigated in this paper. An improved Smith Method is adopted to calculate the residual load carrying capacity of damage ships, where the rotation and translation of the neutral axis of the damaged cross-section are obtained using a particle swarm optimisation method. Because the distribution curve of the residual load carrying capacity of a damaged ship under combined load is asymmetric, the application of traditional explicit polynomial fitting methods results in poor accuracy. In this study, a piecewise weighted least square fitting method is adopted so as to guarantee the continuity in the transitions, and a method is proposed for fitting the ultimate limit state function of a damaged ship under combined load. Calculations of the residual strength show that the improved Smith Method is more accurate than the original Smith Method for the accurate position of the neutral axis. The error analysis of the fitting methods shows that the ultimate limit state function that is fitted using a piecewise weight least square method is more accurate.
