Prediction of Hot Glue Content for Sealing Toothpaste Carton

Abstract This research compared 2 types of model (regression model and artificial neural network) for prediction of glue content for sealing toothpaste carton from 4 sealing process factors, i.e., production line, diameter of toothpaste tube, pressure in glue nozzle during applying glue onto a toothpaste carton and glue temperature in a glue tank. Models under study included 3 regression models, i.e., multiple regression, polynomial regression and stepwise regression,and backpropagation neural network (BPN). The results indicated that the BPN model possessed higher prediction accuracy and generalization capability and lower bias. The best BPN model had a structure of 4-10-1 with the mean absolute error (MAE) of validating data set of 0.04 gram. In addition, the BPN model identified that the most influential sealing process factors affecting the prediction of glue content were pressure in glue nozzle and glue temperaturein the glue tank. The packing department should concentrate on monitoring the value of both factors to control the consistency of glue usage.

Effects of occupational dust exposure on the health status of portland cement factory workers

Introduction: Chronic exposure to Portland cement dust has been reported to lead to greater prevalence of various clinical conditions (includes both respiratory and non-respiratory). These conditions are consistently associated with the degree and duration of exposure. Regular use of appropriate personal protective equipment if made available at the work site could protect the cement factory workers from adverse health effects. Objective: To study the morbidity profile of the cement factory workers. Type of Study: Retrospective cohort study. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Portland Cement Factory in North Karnataka. Data was collected using predesigned questionnaire by personal interview method and clinical examination. A total of 64 male workers are randomly selected who are working in various departments like crushing, raw/cement mill, rotary kiln and packing department. Equal number of unexposed controls was selected from the area atleast 5 kms from the factory and those who are not exposed to cement dust in the past, who are matched for age, Socio economic status and smoking with the exposed population. Statistical Analysis: Chisquare test for qualitative data and unpaired t test for quantitative data using Epi info. Results: A total of 64 male workers and equal number of matched controls who are not exposed to the cement dust were included in the study. Among exposed maximum of 36% were employed in Crushing department, 25% each in Packing and cement/raw mill. Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure was found to be higher among the exposed, which is statistically highly significant (p Conclusion: Personal protective equipment should be made available at the workplace and educate the personnel to use them.

Asma ocupacional en envasadores de alimentos

This report describes the case of a 26-year-old woman working in a fish-processing factory who developed bronchial asthma when transferred to the packing department. Various tests, including a specific bronchial challenge test, confirmed a diagnosis of occupational asthma. While polyvinyl chloride (PVC) appeared to be the causal agent in this case, the possible role of other etiological agents is also discussed. Although occupational asthma in food packers is rare, we nonetheless consider it important to recognize this type of asthma given the widespread use of PVC.

'Deeds and Words': The Woman's Press and the Politics of Print

The political and constitutional impact of the early twentieth-century British women's suffrage movement has been the subject of extensive research since the advent of second-wave feminism, yet the broader cultural impact of the movement remains a developing scholarly area. Murray examines the role of the Woman's Press, the publishing house established in 1907 as a strategic component of the Pankhursts' influential Women's Social and Political Union. The press is located within multiple and interpenetrative analytical contexts: examined in turn are its role in the various power struggles of the WSPU and the broader British suffrage movement; its significance as an independent means of cultural production around the contested site of the suffragette; and its ambiguity as a feminist publishing house run by male pro-suffragist and lobbyist, Frederick Pethick Lawrence. The Woman's Press and its central London retail outlet figured prominently in WSPU administration as a material concern-as literature packing department, revenue raiser and recruiting centre. Yet, symbolically, the Woman's Press was also integral to the campaigning of the WSPU to an extent that has generally remained under-examined. As an independent publishing house the press constituted a vital conduit guaranteeing the entry of suffrage arguments into public discourse, and a crucial tool for appropriating and refashioning the contested image of the suffragette in the wider politico-cultural landscape of the day. Acknowledging the significance of the Woman's Press provides both a necessary historical context for the post-1970 feminist press boom, as well as a counterpoint to the ongoing political-financial conundrums that beset its modern descendents.

An outbreak of streptococcal infection in a chicken factory.

A large outbreak of streptococcal skin infection occurred late in the summer of 1978 in a factory which undertakes the slaughter, preparation and packing of chickens. In all, 103 episodes of infection occurred in 82 workers from a total factory establishment of 347. The highest incidence of infection was in the packing department where there was an attack rate of 44%. The routes of introduction of infection into and spread within the factory remain mostly unknown. Following the identification of cases and carriers and the institution of appropriate treatment and control measures the outbreak quickly declined. The responsible organism in the outbreak was Streptococcus pyogenes T-type 3/13/B3264, provisional M-type 'R78/55'. This is the first poultry factory outbreak in England to be reported.

Julius Wangenheim: An Autobiography (Continued)

I joined the Cuyamaca Club at once. This wasn't as easy as it sounds, for it was the most exclusive club I've ever known, but with less reason for its exclusiveness than any other. The open sesame seemed to be a reputation as a good drinker. But the club put up a bold front in its little old bungalow building on D Street (now Broadway) near 6th. It was reputed to be quite swell, and it was the center of men's social activities. One blackball kept anyone out, but Melville was a member, as were my college friends Waldo Waterman and Fred Jackson, so I had sufficient sponsorship to get in. (And now, so time rolls on, I am its senior member.) One of the regulations was that non-members were not permitted within the sacred precincts of the club, and no excep tions were made. Once, when a French cruiser was in the harbor, my friend Daney, who was the French consul, had to entertain the admiral and his staff. He drove them around town, which didn't take very long, and then, as was the custom, stopped at the Cuyamaca for after noon cocktails. In accordance with protocol, out stepped the admiral, then his staff, and last Daney. But as the admiral was about to enter the club, he was politely told, if such a thing could be politely told, that he was not allowed to enter. The wholesale merchandise business of (A.) Klauber & (S.) Levi, which I then entered, seemed to me a most elaborate enterprise. As I look back, however, it seems to have been pretty primitive. The execu tive functions were divided among Melville, Mr. Levi, and me. Melville managed the credits and outside activities; Mr. Levi was in charge of selling, although we all took part in this; and I handled the buying. In our office were an office boy and a stenographer; in the bookkeeping department, a head bookkeeper, an assistant, and a billing clerk; on the main floor was a shipping clerk; upstairs in the packing department, one man; in the cellar where the heavy goods were kept, one man; in the liquors, Edgar Klauber, and one other man; in the cigar depart 345
