An autonomous, wireless and self-powered smart sensor is described, addressing the condition monitoring and diagnosis of steam traps, whose performance degradation impairs energy efficiency in most of the process industries. The diagnostic criteria in the two possible failure modes of steam traps are presented, as well as the structure and technologies of the embedded devices for sensing, communication, and power supply, special attention being paid to the capability to run the system on the

“savvy” form of schooling ideology, purpose and practice.
In this case study, the school leadership and governing council welcomed a university and a neighbouring school strategic partnership proposal to become a STEAM school. The proposal came just before the “midnight hour” of voting for closure approached. A new STEAM school vision and mission was welcomed, engendering support from high political places. For Lazarus Secondary School, the hope of finding a competitive edge in a “survival of the

Steam and soil solarization were investigated for control of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arenaria in 2 yr of field trials on a commercial flower farm in Florida. The objective was to determine if preplant steam treatments in combination with solarization, or solarization alone effectively controlled nematodes compared to methyl bromide (MeBr). Trials were conducted in a field with naturally occurring populations of M. arenaria. Treatments were solarization alone, steam treatment after

treatment. An improved thermotherapy method that employs aerated hot steam instead of hot water has the potential to overcome the drawbacks associated with hot water treatment (Ghatrehsamani et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2019). The main objective of this study is to investigate the potential of aerated hot steam-based thermotherapy to manage A. besseyi, M. hapla, and P. penetrans on strawberry transplants.

Steam locomotives are preserved on heritage railways and also occasionally used on mainline heritage trips, but since they are only partially balanced reciprocating piston engines, damage is made to the railway track by dynamic impact, also known as hammer blow. While causing a faster deterioration to the track on heritage railways, the steam locomotive may also cause deterioration to busy mainline tracks or tracks used by high speed trains. This raises the question whether heritage operations

INTRODUCTION
Mechanical and durability performance of concrete depends on its production processes such as production, mixing, pouring and curing. Before concrete is brought into service, final process is the curing of concrete which is susceptible to different environmental conditions. For instance, atmospheric steam curing is essential to accelerate the strength development of concrete in precast concrete industry. Since hydration capability increases with the increment of temperature

The essential oil is mostly depends on the temperature. The temperature will influence the final product of the extraction process. The existing steam distillation processes are giving less intention on this issue. This work implemented the robust self-tuning fuzzy PID (STFPID) controller to monitor the steam temperature in the hydro-diffusion essential oil extraction system. The hydro-diffusion system is built to overcome some weakness of existing systems. The effectiveness of the STFPID using

unprocessed data itself may be confusing for people. How to process the huge and complex data obtained through what kind of technical means, and finally become an intuitive number, or trend, and become the information that people can obtain intuitively is also a very important topic to be studied in this data age.

Aiming at a new type and multi-functional intelligent vortex flowmeter integrating system, which implicates whether it is liquid, gas, steam or the mixture of oil and gas, or in special conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, the medium can be measured intelligently. Especially for mixed media by TPF (Two-phase Flow), such as oil and gas, water vapor, firstly separates the mixed fluid through the gas-liquid separation device, and then rolls up the vortex signal, temperature and

analysis of the several aspects and patterns of the trade has been performed; the results obtained can enable prediction of the market situation for the future. From the data analysis and predictions of the LNG market, continuous growth in the following years is expected, which linked to an increase of the LNG fleet and number of importing countries. Research has shown that new propulsion alternatives such as MEGI and XDF are appearing on the market as the first choice for new builds, while steam

The authors suggest their own solutions to the problem of insulating diverse external partitions and base them on the research conducted in situ. They use The School of Music in Gliwice as an example. The
