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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

Adversarial Attention Modeling for Multi-dimensional Emotion Regression.pdf
Foundry
1. foundry
introduction:
Foundry practice deals with the process of making castings in
moulds, formed in either sand or either material. This is found to be the
cheapest method of metal shaping. Further, castings may be made to fairly
close dimensional tolerances by choosing proper moulding and casting
process.
1. casting terms:
In the following chapters the details of sand-casting, which
represents the basic process of casting would be seen. Before going into
the details of the process, defining a number of casting vocabulary
words would be appropriate.
flask: A moulding flask is one which holds the sand mould intact.
Depending upon the position of the flask in the mould structure, it is
referred by various names such as drag, cope and cheek. It is made up of
wood for temporary applications or more generally of metal for long-
term use.
drag: Lower moulding flask.
cope: Upper moulding flask.
2. cheek: Intermediate moulding flask used in three-piece moulding.
pattern: Pattern is a replica of the final object to be made with
some modifications. The mould cavity is made with the help of the
pattern.
parting line: This is the dividing line between the two moulding
flasks that makes up the sand mould. In split pattern it is also the
dividing line between the two halves of the pattern.
Bottom Board: This is a board normally made of wood, which is
used at the start of the mould making. The pattern is first kept on the
bottom board, sand is sprinkled on it and then the ramming is done in
the drag.
facing sand: The small amount of carbonaceous material sprinkled
on the inner surface finish to the castings.
core: It is used for making hollow cavities in castings.
pouring Basin: A small funnel-shaped cavity at the top of the
mould into which the molten metal is poured.
sprue: The passage through which the molten metal from the pouring
basin reaches the mould cavity. In many cases it controls the flow of
metal into the mould.
runner: The passageways in the parting plane through which molten
metal flow is regulated before they reach the mould cavity.
gate: The actual entry point through which molten metal enters the
mould cavity.
chaplet: Chaplets are used to support cores inside the mould cavity
to take care of its own weight over-come the metallostatic forces.
3. chill: Chills are metallic objects, which are placed in the mould to
increase the cooling rate of castings to provide uniform or desired
cooling rate.
riser: It is a reservoir of molten metal provided in the casting so that
hot metal can flow back into the mould cavity when there is a reduction
in volume of metal due to solidification.
2. tools:
The tools and equipment needed for moulding are: Moulding
board, moulding flasks (boxes), shovel and moulders tools.
moulding tools:
It is a wooden with smooth surface. It supports the flasks and the
pattern, while the mould is being made.
moulding flask:
It is a box, made of wood or metal, open at both ends. The sand is
rammed in after placing the pattern to produce a mould. Usually, it is
made of two parts. Cope is the top half of the flask, having guides or the
aligning pins to enter. Drag is the bottom half of the flask having
aligning pins.
shovel:
It is used for mixing and tempering moulding sand and for
transferring the sand into the flask. It is made of steel blade with a
wooden handle.
4. hammer:
It is used or packing or ramming the sand around the pattern. One
of its end, called peen end, is wedge shaped and is used for packing sand
in spaces, pockets and corners, in early stages of ramming. The other
end, called the butt end, has a flat surface and is used for compacting the
sand towards the end of moulding.
strike off edge:
It is a piece of metal or wood with straight edge. It is used to
remove the excess sand from the mould after ramming, to provide a
level surface.
sprue pin:
5. It is tapered wooden pin used to make a hole in the cope sand
through which the molten metal is poured into the mould.
RiseR Pin:
It is straight wooden pin used to make a hole in the cope sand, over
the mould cavity or the molten metal to rise and feed the casting to
compensate the shrinkage that take place during solidification.
TRowel:
It is used to smoothen the surface of the mould. It may also be
used for repairing the damaged portion of the mould. Trowels are made
in many different styles and sizes, each one suitable for a particular job.
sPike oR DRaw Pin:
It is a steel rod with a loop at the other end. It is used to remove the
pattern from the mould. A draw Screw, with a threaded end may also be
6. used for the purpose to draw metal patterns.
silk:
It is a small double ended tool having a flat on one end and a spoon
on the other. It is used for mending and finishing small surfaces of the
mould.
lifTeRs:
Lifters are made of thin sections of steel of various widths and
lengths, with one end bent at right angles. These are used for cleaning
and finishing the bottom and sides of the deep and narrow pockets of the
mould.
GaTe CuTTeR:
It is a semi- circular piece of tin sheet, used to cut gates in the
mould. Gates are meant for easy flow of molten metal into the mould.
Bellows:
It is a hand tool, used to blow air to remove the loose sand particles
from the mould cavity.
VenT RoD:
7. It is a thin rod used for making vents or holes in the sand mould to
allow the escape of mould gases generated during the pouring of molten
metal.
CoRe Box:
A core box is designed to mould cores. It is made of either wood or
metal, into which core sand is packed to form the core. Wood is
commonly used for making a core box, but metal boxes are used when
cores are to be made in large numbers. Specially prepared core sand is
used in making cores.
3. sanD MoulD MakinG PRoCeDuRe:
The procedure for making a typical sand mould is described in the
following steps.
First, a bottom board is placed either on the moulding platform or on
the floor, making the surface even. The drag moulding flask is kept
upside down on the bottom board along with the drag part of the pattern
at the centre of the flask on the board. There should be enough clearance
between the pattern and the walls of the flask which should be of the
order of 50 to 100mm. Dry facing sand is sprinkled over the board and
pattern to provide a non-sticky layer. Freshly prepared moulding sand of
requisite quality is now poured into the drag and on the pattern to a
thickness of 30 to 50mm. The rest of the drag flask is completely filled
with the backup sand and uniformly rammed to compact the sand. The
ramming of the sand should be done properly so as not to compact it too
hard, which makes the escape of gases difficult, nor too loose, so that
the mould would not have enough strength. After the ramming is over,
the excess sand in the flask is completely scraped using a flat bar to the
level of the flask edges.
Now, with a vent wire, which is a wire of 1- to 2-mm diameter with a
pointed end, vent holes are made in the drag to the full depth of the flask
8. as well as to the pattern to facilitate the removal of gases during casting
solidification. This completes the preparation of the drag.
The finished drag flask is now rolled over to the bottom board
exposing the pattern. Using a slick, the edges of sand around the pattern
is repaired and the cope half of the pattern is placed over the drag
pattern, aligning it with the help of dowel pins. The cope flask on top of
the drag is located aligning again with the help of the pins. The dry
parting sand is sprinkled all over the drag and on the pattern.
A sprue pin for making the sprue passage is located at a small
distance of about 50 mm from the pattern. Also, a riser pin if required is
kept at an appropriate place and freshly prepared moulding sand similar
to that of the drag along with the backing sand is sprinkled. The sand is
thoroughly rammed, excess and scraped and vent holes are made all
over in the cope as in the drag.
The sprue pin and riser pin are carefully withdrawn from the flask.
Later, the pouring basin is cut near the top of the sprue. The cope is
separated from the drag and any loose sand on the cope and drag
interface of the drag is blown off with the help of bellows. Now, the
cope and the drag pattern halves are withdrawn by using the draw spikes
and rapping the pattern all around to slightly enlarge the mould cavity so
that the mould walls are not spoiled by the withdrawing pattern. The
runners and the gates are cut in the mould care-fully without spoiling the
mould. Any excess or loose sand found in the runners and mould cavity
is blown away the bellows. Now, the facing sand in the form of a paste
is applied all over the mould cavity and runners, which would give the
finished casting a good surface finish.
4. TyPes of sanD MoulDs:
In order to produce sound castings, moulds are required to have
some specific properties. Some of them are the following:
9. It must be strong enough to withstand the temperature and weight of the
molten metal.
It must resist the erosive action of the flowing hot metal.
It should generate minimum amount of gases as a result of the
temperature of the molten metal.
It should have good venting capacity to allow the generated gases to
completely escape from it.
Moulds that are used for sand casting may broadly be classified as
Green sand moulds
Dry sand moulds
Skin dried moulds
Green SAnD MOULDS:
Green sand is the moulding sand which has been freshly prepared
from silica grains, clay and moisture. In a green sand mould, metal is
poured immediately and the castings taken out. These are most
commonly used and are adapted for rapid production, whereas the
moulding flasks are released quickly.
Dry SAnD MOULDS:
These are the green sand moulds which are completely dried by
keeping in an oven between 150 to 350c for 8 to 48 hours depending
on the binders in the moulding sand. These moulds generally have
higher strengths than the green sand mould and are preferred because
they are less likely to be damaged during handling.
Skin DrieD MOULD:
Though the dry sand mould is preferable for large moulds because
of the expense involved, a compromise is achieved by drying only the
skin of the mould cavity with which the molten metal comes into
10. contact, instead of the full mould. The skin is normally dried to a depth
of 15 to 25 mm, using either torches or by simply allowing them to dry
in atmosphere.
5. Other SAnDS:
Though moulding sands are the prime mould materials used in a
foundry, there are a number of other materials, which are also used for
a number of specific properties.
fAcinG SAnD:
This sand is used next to the pattern to obtain cleaner and
smoother casting surfaces. Generally, sea coal or coal dust(finely
divided bituminous coal of 2 to 8%) is mixed with the system sand to
improve the mouldability and surface finish. The sea coal being
carbonaceous, will slowly burn due to heat from the molten metal and
give off small amounts of reducing gases.
MOULD wASh:
Purely carbonaceous materials such as sea coal, finely powdered
graphite or proprietary compounds are also applied on to the mould
cavity after the pattern is withdrawn. This is called the mould wash
and is done by spraying, swabbing or painting in the form of a wet
paste. These are used essentially for the following reasons:
To prevent metal penetration into the sand grains and thus
ensure a good casting finish
To avoid mould-metal interaction and prevent sand fusion.
For deposing the mould wash, either water or alcohol can be used as a
carrier. But because of the problem of getting the water out of the mould,
alcohol is preferred as a carrier. The proprietary washes are available in
powder, paste or liquid form. The powder needs to be first prepared and
applied whereas the paste and liquid can be straightaway applied.
11. bAckinG SAnD:
This is normally the reconditioned foundry sand is used for
ramming the bulk of the moulding flask. The moulding flask is completely
filled with backing sand after the pattern is covered with a thin layer of facing
sand. Since the casting is not affected to any great extent by the backing sand,
it usually contains the burnt facing sand, moulding sand and clay.
PArtinG SAnD:
This is the material, which is sprinkled on the pattern and to the
parting surfaces of the mould halves before they are prepared, to prevent the
adherence of the moulding sand. This helps in easy withdrawal of the pattern
and easier separation of the cope and drag flasks at parting surface. It is
essentially a non-sticky material such as washed silica grains.
5. MOULDinG SAnD PrOPertieS:
The properties of moulding sand are dependent to a great extent on a
number of variables. The important among them are
Sand grain shape and size,
Clay type and amount,
Moisture content, and
Method of preparing sand mould.
6. PAttern:
A pattern is the replica of the desired casting, which when packed in a
suitable material, produces a cavity called the mould. This cavity when filled
with molten metal, produces the desired casting after solidification.
12. 7. tyPeS Of PAttern:
These are various types of patterns depending upon the complexity
of the job, the number of castings required and the moulding procedure
adopted.
SinGLe Piece PAttern:
These are inexpensive and the simplest type of patterns. As the name
indicates, they are made of a single piece as shown in fig. This type of pattern
is used only in cases where the job is very simple and does not create any
withdrawal problems. This pattern is expected to be entirely in the drag.
SPLit PAttern Or twO Piece PAttern:
This is the most widely used type of pattern for intricate castings. When
the contour of the casting makes its withdrawal from the mould difficult, or
when the depth of the casting is too high, then the pattern is split into two
parts so that one part is in the drag and other in the cope.
13. gated pattern:
This is an improvement over the simple pattern where the gating and
runner system are integral with the pattern. This would eliminate the hand
cutting of the runners and gates and help in improving the productivity of a
moulder..
cope and drag pattern:
These are similar to split patterns. In addition to splitting the pattern, the
cope and drag halves of the pattern along with the gating and risering systems
are attached separately to the metal or wooden plates along with the alignment
pins. They are called the cope and drag patterns.
Match plate pattern:
These are extensions of the previous type. Here, the cope and drag
patterns along with the gating and the risering and mounted on a single
matching metal or wooden plate on either side.
14. loose piece pattern:
This type of pattern is also used when the contour of the part is such that
withdrawing the pattern from the mould is not possible. Hence during
moulding, the obstructing part of the contour is held as a loose piece by a
wire.
Follow board pattern:
This type of pattern is adopted for those castings where there are some
portions, which are structurally weak and if not supported properly are likely
to break under the force of ramming.
sweep pattern:
It is used to sweep the complete casting by means of a plane sweep. These
are used for generating large shapes, which are axi-symmetrical or prismatic
in nature such as bell-shaped or cylindrical.
15. skeleton pattern:
A skeleton of the pattern made of strips of wood is used for building and
final pattern by packing sand around the skeleton.
8. pattern design:
While designing a pattern, the following must be considered.
Avoid abrupt changes in cross section.
Avoid sharp corners and edges, to enable smooth flow of molten metal.
Provide the following pattern allowances.
• Shrinkage allowance, to allow for shrinkage when casting cools in
the mould.
• Slight taper or draft, to allow easy withdrawal of the pattern from
the mould.
• Machining allowance, to take care of the machining on these
surfaces.
