The procedure of automated process reliability evaluation is developed in order to prevent recurrent defects in parts manufactured by die stamping. The procedure is based on the analysis of such factors as part design, material, its mechanical and physical properties; equipment parameters, tool performance, etc. The list of reliability factors may vary according to type of operation as deformation process is different for each group of operations. The adjustment of stamping process reliability performance prevents any defects emerging during production of critical parts as early as the work preparation stage.

A  certain number of measurable characteristics of tree leaves (morphological  characteristics, absorption of light radiation, intensity of respiration and  photosynthesis) are clearly linked with the presence of physiologically  active pigments in the leaves.     Leaf characteristics are highly and inequally influenced by changing  conditions of light environment, especially those related to light intensity,  light quality and duration of the daily illumination period. These  modifications do not only apply to light radiation as created under  laboratory conditions, but also to light conditions ensuing from the place in  the crown of a single tree, the social position of the tree in a forest stand  and the site factors in general.     There are also changes taking place due to the progression of the  vegetation period, at the end of which all species are less tolerant or more  light demanding. The reaction of the leaves towards light radiation out of  different regions of the spectrum is also different. The so-called blue light  radiation (λmax = 440 nm) seems to be of the greatest importance in this  relation, as species react quite different to its action.     The biggest variation in leaf characteristics due to changing light  environment was measured for oak and beech, which both react quickly and are  qualified as 'photolabile species'. No important variations occur in leaves  of ash and maple, which therefore are qualified as 'photostable species'.      As a consequence of variable reactions to changing light conditions, the  relationships between the species are continually modified, even in such a  way that their potential for dominance is not constant.     The classical division into tolerant and intolerant species or  classification of the species based upon the degree of light demand, is  highly inaccurate and it seems preferable to speak of relative light demands  and relative tolerance. All these observations and conclusions bring about a  clear confirmation of the necessity to recognize the individuality of the  single tree, the special character of each growth condition, the own  structure of each forest stand, the specific reaction to one sided  modifications of environmental factors. This is especially important for an  intensive sylvicultural practice.     They also prove the necessity for more physiological and biochemical  research to arrive at a better understanding of growth and its mechanism.      Sylviculture in fact must try to regulate, on an expanded scale, the  phenomens of growth, which is the exchange, absorption and transformation of  energy.     A practical interpretation and regulation of fundamental laws of physiology  and growth will be possible as soon as a clinical form of sylviculture is  created and the adequate instrumentarium developed.

Abstract Managing northern hardwood forests using high-frequency, low-intensity regimes, such as single-tree selection, favors shade-tolerant species and can reduce tree species diversity. Management decisions among family forest owners (FFO) can collectively affect species and structural diversity within northern hardwood forests at regional scales. We surveyed FFOs in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan to understand likely future use of three silvicultural treatments—single-tree selection, shelterwood, and clearcut. Our results indicate that FFOs were most likely to implement single-tree selection and least likely to implement clearcut within the next 10 years. According to logistic regression, prior use of a treatment and perceived financial benefits significantly increased the odds for likely use for all three treatments. Having received professional forestry assistance increased likely use of single-tree selection but decreased likely use of shelterwood. We discuss these results within the context of species diversity among northern hardwood forests throughout the region.

AbstractIn a parking house with KOMA TOWER computer-controlled automated parking system it happens that a control system is locked out of service after a pallet has failed to reach the required position during the shifting of pallets, loaded with cars, into rack cells.In this paper is described testing equipment designed by the Institute of Transport, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, VŠB Technical University of Ostrava for the purpose of simulating the process of pallets shifting into the rack cells in order that the frequency of error messages from the control system during the automated process of cars positioning in rack cells in the parking house may be limited.The paper details two completed parts of the designed testing equipment which provide for the calibration of strain-gauge force transducers and for the detection of coil compressive spring compression in relation to acting pressure force.The description of the third, principal design part will be provided in the next paper, together with the experimentally measured acting forces which generate, in both horizontal and vertical directions, as a pallet brake pulley rolls along a brake haunch length.
