Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Why grinding is required?
• The level of unreacted free lime (CaOfree) is an indication of
incomplete reaction. Under similar conditions of temperature and
residence time the level of free lime will depend only on the physical
and chemical characteristics.
• The higher the free lime in the samples the more difficult it is to burn
and the higher the burnability index.
• To increase the surface area for easy burning of raw material and
fuel.
• To achieve the desired particle size (Blain size) in cement
BALL MILL MAINTENANCE-INTRODUCTION
4. Operation % Power Consumption % Cost of total equipment
Crushing & Stacking ~5% ~7 %
Grinding ~70% ~55%
Pyro processing ~20% ~35%
Packing ~5% ~3 %
Role of grinding process in cement industry?
• Out of 70% of power ~30% power is required for RM and Coal Mill.
• Raw Material and coal/ pet coke/ lignite grinding involves drying and
grinding of materials
• Clinker is dry and significantly more difficult to grind than raw materials
and coal
• Cement is ground much finer than raw meal and coal
• Requirements to particle size distribution of the finished product are
much more strict when grinding cement rather than grinding raw
materials and coal

BALL MILL MAINTENANCE-GENERAL OVERVIEW
17. PURPOSE OF MILL LINERS
• To protect the mill body
• To participate in Crushing and Grinding Process
The mill liners can generally be classified into
(a) smooth
(b) Lifter and
(c) segregation or classifying types
based on the requirements of the grinding process of the mill.
18. Bolt Saving Mill Lining Bolt Less Mill Lining
FASTENING OF MILL LINERS
Installation of Bolt Saving Mill Lining
• Generally shell liner hardness
should be equal to media hardness
• Manganese steel liners are used 200-
260 BHN Hardness is obtained.
However, Chromium and Ni –hard
steel achieve hardness value of 400-
450 BHN which substantially reduces
the wear.

19. -- STEPPED LINERS (Lifters)
-- SMOOTH LINERS (Obsolete)
-- CLASSIFYING LINERS
-- ANGULAR SPIRAL LINERS
-- GROOVED PLATE LINERS
-- RUBBER LINERS (Rubber liners are best suited for the wet
grinding with relatively small sieved feed and media sizes. They are
not generally suitable for hot conditions during dry grinding or
when stresses are caused by high speed or large size media or when
there is excessive sharpness of the material)
-- CERAMIC LINERS (Various ceramic lining materials available
are silex, steatite and alumina oxide. These liners are used for
grinding non-metallic materials where iron contamination would
harm the products
TYPES OF MILL LINERS
21. TYPES OF LIFTER LINERS
Used for coarse grinding in first chamber of tube mills. These
liners impart lifting action to the balls, which in turn grind the
material by impact forces.
Selection of wave liners depends on the Grinding Media Size
22. TYPICAL DESIGNS OF CLASSIFYING LINERS
The principal
factors for
designing a
classifying liners
are
1-Mill diameter
and
2-Ball size.
As the diameter of
the mill increases
so the classifying
angle within the
range of
approximately 15-
25 degrees.

24. GROOVED TYPE MILL LINERS
• The slipping motion (friction) between the
surfaces of the grinding media and the mill
liners leads to high wear which seems
Washed Out groove.
• The use of grooved shell liners not only
result in reduction in wear but also a
decrease in specific power consumption
• Grooved liners for the coarse grinding
compartment weigh approx. 15% less, and
for the fine grinding compartment,
designed as classifying liners, the weight
of the plates is even 30% less
• According to the manufacturer, the
consumption of grinding media is reduced
by about 40%
26. MILL PARTITION SINGLE WALL
• Single wall partitions allow pre-ground
material to pass without special
classification
• The material being ground is pushed
towards the partition by new feed entering
the mill; after passing through the slots, the
material enters the next mill compartment.
• The openings in the center of the partitions
are made for mill ventilation.
• They are subjected to high wear, from media
from both sides of diaphragm plate. With the
increasing wear slots become wider and this
allow coarser particle to pass through
diaphragm to the next compartment.
27. MILL PARTITION – DOUBLE WALL
1, 2 Walls
3 - Curved Cascader
4- Central Pipe
• These diaphragms contain one slotted plate at feed end and one blind plate on the other end,
with the space between them of approximately 25-30 cms.
• The partition consists of two front walls and the deflector plates, which are attached to the
outer ring. The transportation of the ground material from the cascader is throtled in such a
way that the entrance of the ground material into the partition wall is controllably delayed.
In this way the level of the ground material dams up within the level of the grinding media
in front of the partition wall and undergoes, in this way, an intensive size reduction.

1. Breakdown maintenance :It means that people waits until equipment fails
and repair it. Not desirable
2. Preventive maintenance
It is a daily maintenance ( cleaning, inspection, oiling and re-tightening ), design
to retain the healthy condition of equipment and prevent failure through the
prevention of deterioration.
It is further divided into periodic maintenance and predictive maintenance:
Periodic maintenance-Time based maintenance
Predictive maintenance-This is a method in which the service life of important
part is predicted based on inspection or diagnosis, in order to use the parts to
the limit of their service life
3. Corrective maintenance
It improves equipment and its components so that preventive maintenance can
be carried out reliably. Equipment with design weakness must be redesigned to
improve reliability or improving maintainability
