Chemical Composition of Clays for Pottery in Malaysia: A Review

Pottery in Malaysia is been known for its utilized functions and unique properties. Clays as the pottery’s raw materials are a major factor that affecting the quality and reliability of some pottery products. Observations on clays’ elements and phases are very helpful for productions of the good pottery. Hence, in this review, chemical compositions of clays in terms of elements and phases structures are discussed. Basically, the most elements found in clays are Si, Al, Fe, Ti, K and Ca. Depends on location, the concentrations for those clays elements in Malaysia are at range of 24.8 – 32.4 for Si, 10.8 – 19.0 for Al, 0.09 – 2.12 for Fe, 0.08 – 1.13 for Ti and 0.45 – 3.39 for K. Several studies reported, they exist in form of oxide compound which are SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, TiO2, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O and P2O5. The percentages of elements in clays do not only determine the clays characteristics, but also influence the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the end product. Increase of major element like silica arises the melting point, lowers the fluidity, and enhances the hardness and tensile strength. Meanwhile, increase alumina content enables the green body to withstand the sintering temperature and also increase the hardness of the pottery.

GST and its Impact on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises - A Study of Peenya Industrial Area in Banglaore, Karnataka

The introduction of Goods and Service Tax on 1st July, 2017 has revamped the tax structure and carved out a new path for the Indian economy. The new tax regime was envisioned to be free of all the problems of the previous tax system but, however since its proposal it has received mixed reviews from industries, academia and others. With extensive changes aimed at One Nation One Tax, it has left massive impact on the Small Scale Industries too. Hence this paper critically analyses the impact of Goods and Service Tax (GST) on Small Scale Industries specifically in Karnataka. Existing literature says that GST shall reduce the cost of doing business, increases transparency, decreases prices of product, increase tax compliance and improve ease of doing business. This paper proves some of these assertions through a primary data research and further identifies the need of reforms with respect to separation of definition of job work and labour work, penalties for non-payment of GST, dual administration and issues pending from the previous tax regime. It has also clearly established that composition scheme has been a non-performer and the reverse charge mechanism must be re-introduced later or revamped to balance its costs and benefits. Thus the study has implications for policy makers, industries and academia and also provides a better understanding of the new tax system itself.

The research results can be used to solve the problems of creating virtual test grounds and other digital systems, where the assessment of the behavior of a complex object is made on the basis of its digital twin or, in general, on a mathematical or computer model. The introduction of such systems can significantly reduce financial costs when creating a product, increase quality of designed systems and predict their behavior under certain conditions without expensive testing.

Green tract organizing prospects in Ukraine as an internal tourism market development priority direction

The development of tourism in the region is part of the socio-economic complex, and directly affects such industries as manufacturing, trade, transport, agriculture and the production of consumer goods, and is also one of the promising areas in the formation of the economy`s GDP. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rural green tourism has become a separate significant sector of the tourism market in the developed countries of the world. Most of the Ukrainian regions, relying on the unique nature, rich cultural and material heritage as well as traditions of the rural population, are also successfully implementing projects in the field of rural green tourism. However, in general, its share in the total volume of tourist services in Ukraine remains relatively low. Therefore, the possibility of developing rural green tourism, including the organization of greenways, is still extremely relevant. The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical provisions and practical recommendations regarding the prospects of organizing Greenways in Ukraine as a priority area for the development of the domestic tourism market, in particular the Kharkiv region. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set and solved: the features of the formation and development of rural green tourism in Ukraine and the Kharkiv region were revealed; a greenway to support and popularize rural green tourism in the Kharkiv region was developed. Research methodology. To accomplish the assigned research tasks, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis - during the study of the role and place of tourism in the development of regions; logical, dialectical, method of generalization, complex and systemic approaches - to improve the conceptual apparatus of the research; statistical analysis, comparison and generalization - during the study of the features of the organizational and economic mechanism for the development of rural green tourism. As a result of the study, priority directions for the development of tourism were identified, which need to be implemented primarily in Ukraine and in the Kharkiv region in particular. For this, the authors have chosen the direction of the combination of active tourism with a cognitive component. Realization of the tourist potential of the Kharkiv region includes the creation of a greenway with cycling equipment. The ecological route “Greenways of the Kharkiv region” introduces the richness and diversity of the natural, cultural and historical heritage of the Kharkiv region, its traditions, culture, crafts, interesting people who preserve the originality of these places, friendly owners of agro-estates, where you can interestingly relax, try national cuisine and dive into the folk life traditions. Findings. The organization of the greenway will: improve and maintain the quality of the environment and create new opportunities for recreation; provide connections between district and suburban green spaces; create opportunities for active recreation, provide alternative transport routes. Further development of this and other greenways in Ukraine will create a positive image and increase the attractiveness of the territory, form a regional tourism product, increase tourist flows and ensure budget replenishment.

Effect of Fertilizers on the Straw Product Increase of Winter Wheat in the Ganja-Gazakh Region

An application of inorganic and organic fertilizers under winter wheat plant affected the increase of the straw product along with the grain to a considerable extent. So, as a result of an application of fertilizers under the winter wheat plant, the highest straw crow was obtained 86.7 centner per hectare under the variant of NPK as in grain product, the increase was 36.9 centner per hectare or 74.1%; than the control version; manure was 82.9 centner per hectare; 33.0 centner per hectare or 66.3% under the version of 30 ton per hectare. We can come to such a conclusion that there is a need for an application of mineral fertilizer to the winter wheat within the norm. Bat it is enough to apply 30 ton per hectare. If so the straw productivity of the wheat plant was higher. Fertilizers restores the soil fertility along with increase of productivity of the winter wheat plant and improves the quality indicators of the crop establishing ecological pure product.

Detection and diagnosis of Oscillation in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Process

Oscillations found in process control loops are the visible indications of process deterioration. The presence of oscillation in an industrial control loop may reduce quality of the product; increase the rejection rate and energy consumption which may result in reduced profitability. Many techniques stated in the literature for oscillation diagnosis has their own benefits and limitations. Performance assessment of a single control loop is a valued procedure to spot suddenly rising faults and slowly emerging degradation. In this paper, the oscillations present in the process variable of a Shell and Tube Heat eXchanger (STHX) process are diagnosed using the Higher Order Spectral Analysis (HOSA) in MATLAB. From HOSA, bispectrum, modified bispectrum and bicoherence analysis technique is applied to the laboratory STHX process to spot the probable root cause for oscillations
