The production of rubber modified thermoplastics can exceed rates of 30,000 pounds per hour. If a production plant needs to equilibrate or has an upset, that means operating costs and lost revenue. Results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used for process adjustments to minimize product loss. Conventional TEM, however, is not a rapid turnaround technique. The TEM process was examined, and it was determined that 50% of the time it took to complete a polymer sample was related to film processing, even when using automated equipment. By replacing the conventional film portion of the process with a commercially available system to digitally acquire the TEM image, a production plant can have the same TEM image in the control room within 1.5 hours of sampling.A Hitachi H-600 TEM Operated at 100 kV with a tungsten filament was retrofitted with a SEMICAPS™ image collection and processing workstation and a KODAK MEGAPLUS™ charged coupled device (CCD) camera (Fig. 1). Media Cybernetics Image-Pro Plus software was included, and connections to a Phaser II SDX printer and the network were made. Network printers and other PC and Mac software (e.g. NIH Image) were available. By using digital acquisition and processing, the time it takes to produce a hard copy of a digital image is greatly reduced compared to the time it takes to process film.

Investigation in various regions in Indonesia found indications of the alleged fraud that result from unccountable use and management of BOS funds. Among the findings, including payments that do not fit the technical guidelines, no accountability report, and the use of funds with unaccountable receipt. In the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of No. 161/2014, stated that: BOS is a government program that is basically forfunding the nonpersonnel operating costs of the primary education as the implementer of compulsory education program. The purpose of this study were (1) to analyze the accounting cycle and financial accountability for the use of BOS funds in the 2015, (2) to analyze the compliance of the accounting cycle and financial accountability of the BOS funds, (3) to analyze the transparency and accountability of BOS fund’s reports. The observed elementary school is SDIT X in Depok, West Java. Result shows that they do not fully compliance to the appropriate regulatory technical guidelines. On the other hand, the transparency and accountability issues show that: (1) BOS Management Team, Teachers Council and School’s Committee’s involvement in the BOS fund management, and (2) evaluation and comparison of the final report of prior periods, so that transparency and accountability of the use and management of BOS funds can be improved.

In the animal feed industry, steam is used in pellet making machines. In this process, steam from the boiler is distributed to the pellet mill through the pipe. The purpose of this study is to observe the waste of electricity costs of operating a boiler by calculating heat loss in a distribution pipe. The method of assessing heat loss is done by calculating losses caused by heat loss in the boiler distribution. Then make a calculation application model based on the data obtained. From the data analyzed, the amount of heat lost in the non-insulating distribution pipe is 0.766 kJ/s with a loss of Rp 5.628,600 operating costs per month compared to heat loss in an isolated pipe condition of 0.047 kJ/s with losses which cost slightly more than Rp 368 190 / month. This heat loss calculation process is made on an android application by entering the calculation formula on the program and the data that has been obtained.

Реконструкция канализационных сетей становится важнейшим элементом поддержания всей системы канализации в рабочем состоянии за счет минимизации эксплуатационных затрат, увеличения срока службы трубопроводов, повышения автономности в работе системы с помощью современных средств автоматизации, контроля и анализа. Для того чтобы максимально продлить срок службы трубопроводов и не причинить вреда параллельно проложенным инженерным сетям, необходимо грамотно подбирать методы и способы реконструкции сетей, основываясь на опыте и анализе работы существующих. Рассмотрены и классифицированы основные методы реконструкции и ремонта трубопроводов. Отмечена необходимость в системной реконструкции. Разработана блок-схема, позволяющая выбрать метод реконструкции в зависимости от характера разрушения трубопровода на основании телеметрического обследования. Приведены примеры ее применения на реальных объектах. Статья написана на основе анализа технической литературы и опыта эксплуатации и проектирования канализационных сетей в Санкт-Петербурге.Rehabilitation of sewer networks becomes an essential element in maintaining the entire sewage system in running order by minimizing the operating costs, increasing the life of pipelines, increasing the self-sustainability of the system using advanced automation, control and analysis tools. In order to maximize the life of pipelines and eliminate damaging parallel laid utility networks, it is necessary to correctly choose the methods of networks rehabilitation based on the experience and analysis of the existing ones. The main methods of repair and rehabilitation of pipelines are considered and classified. The necessity for system approach to the reconstruction is noted. A block diagram has been developed that provides for choosing a reconstruction method depending on the nature of the pipeline destruction and based on the telemetry inspection. Examples of its application in the existing structures are given. The article is written on the basis of an analysis of the technical publications and experience of operating and designing sewer networks in St. Petersburg.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Loan to Deposite Ratio (LDR), Operational Income Operating Costs (BOPO) to Bank Profit Growth both partially and simultaneously at publicly traded bank companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX ) period 2012 - 2016. The sample of this study is Commercial Banks in Indonesia which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period of 2012 up to 2016 totaling 14 banks. This study uses quantitative data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a method using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study show that simultaneously the CAR, BOPO, LDR variables affect earnings growth by 79% and the remaining 21% are influenced by other factors outside this research. Partially BOPO has a positive and significant effect on profit growth. While the CAR and LDR variables show that the results have no positive and insignificant effect on profit growth. Keywords: Profit Growth, CAR, BOPO, LDR

A new design for syrup and juice clarifiers is presented. The design takes advantage of the considerably improved performance of clarifiers incorporating lamella plates, and the reasons for the improvement are outlined. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work done to simulate the performance is summarised. This design enables the residence time to be dramatically reduced and the simplified design leads to cheaper and better clarifiers. Practical experience with factory scale units is described, confirming the good flow characteristics. The results of preliminary test work on a factory syrup clarifier are presented, which is also shown to operate efficiently as a phosphatation clarifier. In addition the performance of a full-scale juice clarifier has been evaluated and compared with the performance of a Rapidorr clarifier. This work confirms the considerable advantages which this type of design provides, in realising substantial reductions in residence time, capital costs and operating costs.
