Systems approach to controlling sheet-glass production

A study of the gas consumption modes of the subgroup “Enterprises of construction industry and architecture” of the regional gas supply system, as well as the production of sheet glass, which forms gas consumption in the subgroup by 94%, was carried out. The field type “daily gas consumption outside temperature” is set for the subgroup and the plant for production of sheet glass. This is a field with a weak dependence on the growth of daily gas consumption when outside temperature decreases and without an obvious stratification into temperature regions determined by the state of the heating system (“on” or “off”) and a significant vertical spread of daily gas flow at the same values of outside temperature. Additional factors affecting gas consumption were searched. The created database of 14 technological indicators over a seven-year period allowed to identify factors forming daily and annual gas consumption regimes using correlation-regression analysis. The importance of the “time worked by the line” factor and its contribution to the formation of the annual volume of gas consumption was assessed. Invention proposes a simplified method of estimating the rate of aging of furnace lining and wear of enclosing structures on the basis of a single-factor model of gas consumption from productivity by comparing the daily average annual values of specific gas consumption for sheet glass production with the same volume of output.

History Of

David Magnusson has been the most articulate spokesperson for a holistic, systems approach to personality. This paper considers three concepts relevant to a dynamic systems approach to personality: dynamics, systems, and levels. Some of the history of a dynamic view is traced, leading to an emphasis on the need for stressing the interplay among goals. Concepts such as multidetermination, equipotentiality, and equifinality are shown to be important aspects of a systems approach. Finally, attention is drawn to the question of levels of description, analysis, and explanation in a theory of personality. The importance of the issue is emphasized in relation to recent advances in our understanding of biological processes. Integrating such advances into a theory of personality while avoiding the danger of reductionism is a challenge for the future.
