NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testingg,aliHatem16
NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testing, which is a method used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage or altering its integrity. This technique is commonly employed in various industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, construction, and energy production to ensure the quality and reliability of products and infrastructure.
Here's an overview of the main methods used in NDT:
Visual Inspection: This is the simplest form of NDT and involves visually examining a component or structure for surface defects, irregularities, or other visible anomalies.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): UT uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or defects in materials. A transducer sends ultrasonic waves into the material, and the reflections from internal boundaries or defects are analyzed to assess the integrity of the material.
Radiographic Testing (RT): RT involves passing X-rays or gamma rays through a material to create an image on a film or digital detector. This technique is useful for detecting internal defects such as cracks, voids, or inclusions.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): MT is used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. A magnetic field is applied to the material, and iron particles are applied to the surface. These particles will gather at areas of magnetic flux leakage, indicating the presence of defects.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT): PT is used to detect surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials. A liquid dye penetrant is applied to the surface of the material, and after a certain dwell time, excess penetrant is removed. A developer is then applied, which draws the penetrant out of any surface defects, making them visible under UV light or visible light.
Eddy Current Testing (ET): ET is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A coil carrying an alternating current generates eddy currents in the material being tested. Changes in the eddy currents caused by defects or variations in material properties are detected and analyzed to identify flaws.
These methods can be used individually or in combination, depending on the specific requirements of the inspection. NDT plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of various components and structures, helping to prevent failures, accidents, and costly downtime.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
1. Noise Study
For the Rosemont Copper Project
By Robert Sculley &
Michael Dieckhaus
2. Purpose of the Noise Study
§ Identify existing background noise levels
in the project area
§ Provide information on noise levels at
active copper mines
§ Provide preliminary noise modeling
analyses of traffic noise and blasting
noise
Noise Study
3. Notes from the Noise Study
§ Noise modeling analyses have not been
completed yet
§ This presentation will focus on the results
from the ambient noise monitoring
program
Noise Study
4. Background Noise Monitoring at Project Area
§ Multi-day noise monitoring at locations closest
to existing residences
§ Multi-day monitoring at other locations
representative of project area conditions
§ 5 locations in southern part of project area
(closest to residences) monitored for a 3 day
period over Memorial Day weekend
Noise Study
5. Background Noise Monitoring Approach
§ 1 location in the northern part of the project area
(closest to residences) monitored for a 2 day
period after Memorial Day weekend
§ 2 locations near the proposed mine pit area
monitored for 2 days after Memorial Day
weekend
Noise Study
6. Active Copper Mine Noise Monitoring Approach
§ Emphasis on monitoring blasting events at an
active copper mine
§ First monitoring at 2 locations approximately
one mile from a blast location
§ Several hours of monitoring to include
background noise levels from haul trucks,
shovel and other general mine activity
Noise Study
7. Active Copper Mine Noise Monitoring Approach
§ Supplemental noise monitoring at the same
active mine included:
• Two additional blast events
• 3 locations at various distances from the blast
• Two noise meters at each location, one
running for 8 hours, the other running
continuously for 48 hours
Noise Study
8. Active Copper Mine Supplemental Noise Monitoring
§ Locations of monitoring included:
• At the edge of the pit with line-of-site to the
blast locations (0.25 and 0.5 miles from the
two blast sites)
• 100 feet from the edge of the pit (0.25 and 0.5
miles from the two blast sites)
• Along a haul road one mile from the blast
sites, and close to a truck wash facility
Noise Study
9. Noise Monitoring Instrumentation
§ Two types of noise meters used for the study
• Primary: Larson Davis model 820 sound level meters
• Type 1 (precision) integrating sound level meter
• Dynamic measurement range from 18 dBA to 110
dBA
• Secondary: Center Technology model 322 sound
level meters
• Type 2 (general purpose) sound pressure level
meter; not an integrating sound level meter
• Auto-ranging with dynamic range from slightly under
30 dBA to 100 dBA
Noise Study
12. Basic Field Procedures
§ Instruments set to A weighting, fast response
§ Larson Davis meters set to log one-minute basic
time histories and 15-minute interval histories
§ Center 322 meters set to log data at one-
second intervals or at 3-second intervals
§ Instruments mounted on camera tripods at a
height of about 5 feet
§ Instruments calibrated with a Larson Davis
Class 1 acoustic calibrator
Noise Study
15. Important Noise Measurement Terms
§ Leq = equivalent constant noise level ( energy-
averaged noise level)
§ Ldn = day-night average noise level (a 24-hour
Leq with a 10 dBA penalty factor added to
nighttime [10 pm to 7 am] noise levels)
§ Lmax = maximum Leq over 1/8 second intervals
at fast response setting; Lmax is how people
hear rapidly fluctuating noise
Noise Study
41. Conclusions: Project Area Noise Levels
§ Low existing average noise levels in the project vicinity
§ Noise levels mostly less than 45 dBA
§ Noise levels higher on ridge lines than in intervening
valleys
§ Noise levels higher close to State Route (SR) 83, but
relatively low more than a few hundred feet from SR 83
§ Background noise levels somewhat higher during
periods with strong winds
§ Brief instances of moderately high noise levels (i.e. high
wind, traffic, horns, activity near the meters)
Noise Study
42. Active Copper Mine Area Noise Monitoring
§ Unspecified active copper mine in Pima County,
Arizona
§ Selected due to:
• Accessible for study
• Similar topography as proposed mine
• Active mining activities with blasting, haul
trucks, drilling, vehicle washing
Noise Study
43. Active Copper Mine Area Noise Monitoring
§ Noise levels monitored at same mine in May
2008 and October 2008
§ Focused on blasting events but also general
background noise levels and haul/drilling noise
levels
§ Three blast events monitored with following
charge sizes:
• Two events 30 to 40 holes,
• One event had 65 holes
Noise Study
44. Active Mine Area Noise Monitoring
§ Blast monitoring locations ¼ mile to one mile
• One monitoring site: direct line of sight to blast
areas with no terrain shielding
• One monitoring site: terrain shielding from pit
walls only
• Other monitoring sites: terrain shielding from
both pit walls and other terrain features
Noise Study
57. Conclusions: Active Mining Area Noise Levels
§ Low overall noise levels
§ Average noise levels comparable to existing
background noise levels in the Rosemont
project area
§ Relatively high noise levels limited to the
immediate vicinity of heavy equipment
operations (active mining pit, haul roads, and
active leach dump areas)
Noise Study
58. Conclusions: Active Mining Area Noise Levels
§ Blast events generated high noise levels for
approximately one second
§ At distances > 3/4 mile from the pit area, blast
noise levels comparable to ambient background
noise levels
§ Maximum pass-by noise levels from haul trucks
comparable to those for heavy trucks on
highways
§ Minimum noise levels at the active mine lower
than those monitored in the Rosemont project
area
