Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

• Reduce confusion – Increase comprehension of hazards
• Help address literacy problems
3. NOTABLE CHANGES
• Labels are more defined and will now require:
• Product identifier
• Pictogram
• Signal word
• Hazard statement(s)
• Precautionary statement(s)
• Name, address, and phone number
• Safety Data Sheet (not Material Safety Data Sheet)
• Uses a 16 section format

Appendices A-F
5. a) PURPOSE
• All hazards to be CLASSIFIED not Evaluated
• "Classification" means to identify the relevant data regarding the
hazards of a chemical; review those data to ascertain the hazards
associated with the chemical; and decide whether the chemical
will be classified as hazardous according to the definition of
hazardous chemical in this section. In addition, classification for
health and physical hazards includes the determination of the
degree of hazard, where appropriate, by comparing the data with
the criteria for health and physical hazards.
• "Hazard class" means the nature of the physical or health
hazards, e.g., flammable solid, carcinogen, oral acute toxicity.
6. b) SCOPE AND APPLICATION
• All chemicals known to be present are covered.
• Practical accommodations for special situations
• Address interface with other Federal laws.
7. c) DEFINITIONS
• Physical hazard definitions removed and placed in new
Appendix B
• Deleted terms: flashpoint, hazard warning, material safety
data sheets.
• Some definitions were revised to be consistent with the GHS.
• New definitions added for classification.
• Signal Word - means a word used to indicate the relative level
of severity of hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard
on the label. The signal words used in this section are
"danger" and "warning." "Danger" is used for the more severe
hazards, while “Warning" is used for the less severe.
8. d) HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
• Chemical manufacturers and importers shall evaluate
chemicals produced in their workplaces or imported by
them to classify the chemicals in accordance with this
section. For each chemical, the chemical manufacturer
or importer shall determine the hazard classes, and
where appropriate, the category of each class that apply
to the chemical being classified. Employers are not
required to classify chemicals unless they choose not to
rely on the classification performed by the chemical
manufacturer or importer for the chemical to satisfy this
requirement.
9. e) WRITTEN HAZARD
COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
• Employers must have a written program describing how
the rule will be implemented, including a list of
hazardous chemicals, methods for informing employees
about non-routine tasks.
• Employers must make sure the program is current when
the new provisions are implemented (e.g., list of
hazardous chemicals may have to be updated).
10. f) LABELS AND OTHER FORMS OF
WARNING
• Shipped containers to be labeled with product identifier;
signal word; hazard statement(s); pictograms;
precautionary statements; and responsible party.
• Specifies information by hazard class and category
• Appendix “C” is a cookbook approach for labeling.
11. LABEL REQUIREMENTS – SHIPPING
CONTAINERS
• Product identifier
• Signal word
• Hazard statement(s)
• Pictogram(s)
• Precautionary statement(s)
• Name, address, and phone number of the responsible
party.

• Same workplace –specific labeling.
• Make sure the labeling system is updated to be
consistent with the new classifications.
• NFPA/HMIS Systems - NO
• (rating systems v. classification)
• GHS and NFPA/HMIS Reversed
25. SECONDARY LABELING
• Employers have more flexibility. The basic requirement for workplace
labeling is as follows:
• “the final rule retains the flexibility by indicating that the employer can
choose to label workplace containers either with the same label that would
be on shipped containers for the chemical under the revised rule, or with
label alternatives that meet the requirements for the standard.”
• The HCS 2012 specifically states for workplace container labeling that
labels must contain GHS label elements (pictograms, etc.) OR
• “Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof,
which, in conjunction with the other information immediately available to the
employee under the HC program, will provide employees with the specific
information regarding the physical and health hazards of the hazardous
chemical.”
26. g) SAFETY DATA SHEETS
• Mandates 16-section SDS headings, order of
information, and what information is to be provided under
the headings.
• Will not enforce sections 12-15 that require information
outside OSHA’s jurisdiction.
27. 16- SECTION SAFETY DATA SHEET
1. Identification of the substance or
mixture and of the supplier
10. Stability and reactivity
2. Hazard identification 11. Toxicological

28. h) EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND
TRAINING
• Clarifies that the labels on shipped containers and
workplace labels must be explained, as well as SDS
format.
• Workers will have to be trained on the new label and
SDS formats before all the provisions of the rule are
effective.
29. TRAINING, CONTINUED
• Labeling elements
• Train the employees on the type of information that the employee
would expect to see on the new labels.
• How they might use that information
• Product identifier, Signal Word, hazard statement(s), pictogram(s),
precautionary statement(s), and name, address and phone number of
the responsible party.
• General understanding of how the elements interact
• For example – explain there are two signal words: Danger means a more
severe hazard within a hazard class. Warning is for less severe hazard.
• Safety Data Sheet
• Train the employees on the standardization 16 section format and the
type of information they would find in the various sections.
30. i) TRADE SECRETS
• Allows specific chemical identity to be protected when it
is a legitimate trade secret.
• Specifies conditions for protection or for release when
there is a safety and health need for information.
• The percentage of a substance in a mixture is also
considered to be a type of trade secret subject to the
provisions in the rule.

Pyrophoric chemicals are liquids and solids that will ignite spontaneously in air at about 130 degrees F.
Titanium dichloride and phosphorus are example of pyrophoric solids; tributylaluminum and related compounds are examples of pyrophoric liquids.
From Wikipedia on organic peroxides:
In polymer chemistry
Organic peroxides find numerous applications, often involving similar chemistry. Thus, peroxides serve as accelerators, activators, cross-linking agents, curing and vulcanization agents, hardeners, polymerisation initiators, and promoters. Drying oils, as found in many paints and varnishes function via the formation of hydroperoxides.
Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide and to a smaller degree acetone peroxide are used as initiators for radical polymerization of some resins, e.g. polyester and silicone, often encountered when making fiberglass.
Self-reactive Substances
What are unstable chemicals?
Unstable or self-reactive substances are chemicals which have the potential to vigorously polymerize, decompose, condense, or become self-reactive under conditions of shock, pressure, temperature, light, or contact with another material. Major types of highly reactive chemicals are explosives, peroxides, water-reactives, and pyrophorics.
What should I do when handling unstable chemicals?
• Always wear safety goggles, closed toe shoes, and gloves
• Handle under a hood if the reaction has the potential of creating gases
• If there is a chance of explosion, use barriers or other forms of isolation methods
• For some heat sensitive materials, temperature should be controlled.
• Date all containers when received or opened
Acids have better warning properties than bases. Acids will burn quickly, the victim will seek water, FAST.
Caustics, poor warning properties: slippery feeling, break down proteins in the skin.
