Routine maintenance such as cleaning filters and checking equipment is performed weekly. The pH meter and blower meter are calibrated every 4 months. Every 2 years, more extensive maintenance is carried out like greasing bearings and changing pump oils to replace worn parts. Performing maintenance according to this schedule helps ensure the wastewater treatment plant operates efficiently.
Flocking is defined as the application of fine particles to adhesive coated surfaces. Nowadays, this is usually done by the application of a high-voltage electric field. In a flocking machine the "flock" is given a negative charge whilst the substrate is earthed. Flock material flies vertically onto the substrate attaching to previously applied glue.

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.
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.

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

Quality Assurance System
All rolls are kept in front of the inspection m/c time to time and are inspected over the grey inspection
m/c visually in a pre-set speed against light. For any major or minor faults like thick-thin, bare marks,
fall out, contamination, fly, holes, oil lines, needle lines, slubs etc are recorded in grey inspection
report to classify the fabric based on the four point system.
Collar & cuff are inspected visually under light box, any major & minor faulty collar/cuff like having
wrong ply, hole, needle lines, slubs, wrong design, first line problem etc properly counted and
recorded.
Quality Assurance Procedure
Based on the sequence of grey inspection, the inspector serially numbers each roll ensuring that all
rolls having the knit card with complete details of the roll.
a) After production of fabric rolls of 8 to 25 kg, m/c operators cut them from the cloth or batch
roller and they are carried to inspection section by the helpers.
b) Almost four inspection workers are for every shift to check the fabric rolls. For any kind of
fault they are checked thoroughly. Skilled inspectors find them and indicate them by the
scissors in some cases.
c) Quality is specified on the basis of 4-points system. Here is the point distribution for different
kinds fault in this system:-

Lab & QC
Introduction
The Quality assurance Department is assigned to maintain consistently uniform quality of the
material in process and various stages of its manufacturing. SKFL is more about concern about
quality. In this factory quality assurance is more preferred than quality control, but both are in
advancement. After collecting fabric rolls from different M/Cs, they are needed to be inspected or
assured required quality by the quality inspectors as if there were no big production hampered and no
complain from the buyers. Here are the details about it.
Objects of Quality Control
1. Research.
2. Selection of raw materials.
3. Process control.
4. Process development.
5. Product testing.
6. Specification test
Scope of Quality Control

Quality Control in Grey Fabric Inspection
Some Points Are Needed To Maintain For High Quality Fabric
a) Brought good quality yarn.
b) Machines are oiled and greased accordingly.
c) G.S.M, Stitch length, Tensions are controlled accurately.
d) Machines are cleaned every shift and servicing is done after a month.
e) Grey Fabrics are checked by 4 point grading system.
Quality Control in Dyeing and Finishing
The SKFL assures the quality of the products of dyeing section in the following three steps:
1. In laboratory
2. In Dyeing section &
3. In Finishing Section
Procedures are described below:
In laboratory
Swatch card from buyer according to their requirement
Recipe prediction for sample dyeing
Sample dyeing until matching with swatch card
Fastness & other tests of the fabric or yarn are done here.
In dyeing section
According to the buyer’s sample, sample dyeing is done in sample dyeing
machine in dyeing shed & again matched with the approved sample.
If result is OK, then bulk production.
During dyeing, samples are taken until accurate shade matching. The interval may
be 30-40 minutes.
After dyeing sample is collected after softening matching is done.
Last of all, sample is collected after fixation & matched.
Then allowed the fabrics to be finished.
In finishing section
By using a series of finishing machines correct width, softness & appearance are
maintained according to requirements.
Then sampling is done for several times to test GSM, Shrinkage & fastness
properties. Finally fabric is inspected & prepared for delivery.

Procedure of GSM measurement by GSM cutter :
1. Cut the fabric with the G.S.M cutter.
2. Weight the fabric with the electric balance .
3. The cut sample is 100 sq.cm. The weight of the cut sample is multiplied by 100.
4. The result is the G.S.M of that particular fabric .
Suppose ,
The weight of the fabric is 2.51 gm. That means the G.S.M of the fabric is 251 gm.

Maintenance:
Maintenance of machineries is very important for any type of industries and it is a must for a knit
composite mill. All machines and machines parts of knitting, dyeing and garments are maintained
with extreme care. Because production quality and quantity, both depends on the maintenance
with regularity. Square knit fabric Ltd. ( SKFL) leads maintenance with a troop of skilled mechanical
fitters.
Maintenance of machinery:
In the knitting floor of SKFL all circular and flat knitting m/cs are maintained regularly and as
necessity requirements. Here, different type of maintenance of machinery, which is taken, different
time on the machineries.
Routine:
Maintenance of circular knitting machine:
Lubrication:
Since the life of the m/c and its correct working depend to a large extend adequate and
proper lubrication. It is recommended that the instructions given in the lubrication charts be
followed conscientiously. The Company can not be need responsible for faults that arise from
wrong or inadequate lubrication.
Routine of maintenance
18. 71
Oiling Needles & Jacks:
Too much oil is preferable to too little. Dark vertical lines in the fabric originate not from
excessive oiling but from too much friction between needle and jacks and the trick walls on account
of lack of oil. Should dark vertical lines makes their appearance is recommended that the
appropriates m/c parts be flooded with oil. This will cause heavy soiling or ht fabrics but the trouble
will disappear quickly correct quantity of oil then can be applied. The supply of oil should be
reduced if light oil striper appears on the fabric.
The Cleaning of Needle & Jacks:
Thin oil is most suitable for this work, about one point heated to a temperature not exceeding
160ºF poured into the oiling position of the cylinder & dial cam races & in the heads of the needles
while the m/c is running. The fabric will found to be cleaned again after few yards have been
knitted. How often cleaning is necessary will depend upon what kind of yarn is being used.
Synthetic yarn cleaning is taken place at lest monthly, yarn with absorbent properties being knitted
at same time.
19. 72
General Cleaning Schedule:
Long m/c life, maximum output & trouble free running depend upon proper care and
maintenance. A general overhaul should take place annually when single shifts are worked &
correspondingly at more frequent interval. When extra shifts are worked. The overhaul involves
removal of all cam section and removal of needles and jacks from their tricks, so tat the tricks
should be thoroughly the cleaned. Before parts are replaced they should be adequately lubricated.
Maintenance Procedure:
1) For there is any mechanical fault of machine which is responsible for
production hamper, operator informs mechanical fitters in duty. Mechanical fitters come
and observe the problem firstly, and then they begin to fix it.
2) If mechanical fitters be unable to fix it, then they inform technical in-charge, he
then comes in spot and fix it.
3) For there is any electrical problem of machine or serious founding
mechanical problem, mechanical and electrical department are informed, they come and
fix the problem. They commence at work after informing of knitting manager. There are
two mechanical engineers in the department.
4) For restorative maintenance, senior production officer orders mechanical
fitters to fit required machine for cam and needle arrangement and other necessary
requirements in case of new design development.

Remarks:
SKFL is using 0-5deg (total) hardness water which is suitable very for dyeing. The underground water is free
from hardness creating metals and eliminates the need for water treatment plant. The electricity supply
system is very good and fluently. It is fully equipped to produce its necessary power. Its capacity of power
generation is increasing with another two generators to be established. The constant pressure of water also
eliminates the need for high rise water tank and maintains flow speed in different machines.

Remarks
SQUARE KNIT FABRICS LIMITED is a well-planned versatile project. The administrations, management, chain
of command - all are well organized. They are devoted to satisfy the customer by their activities.
However, some of the points we want to mention for the betterment of SQUARE KNIT FABRICS
LIMITED.
We asked the concerned persons to cut some sample pieces for us. The samples were cut
very much more than we required. This is noticeable. A huge amount of fabric goes to
wastage. No doubt, this lessens the overall efficiency.
We found the floor was watery due to overhead sanitary leakage & the problem remains
unsolved due to negligence.
The dyeing floor is watery most of the time; it should be cleaned all the time.
Modern material handling tools are to be utilized.
The machine stoppage time should be analyzed and minimized. Good maintenance practice
is needed.

Conclusion
Two month of industrial attachment at the SQUARE KNIT FABRICS LIMITED (SKFL.) was a part of the
B.Sc. in textile technology course. The eight weeks of the training period were segmented &
scheduled to a systematic routine. We have got the impression that it is one of the most modern
export oriented knit composite factories in Bangladesh. Though it was established only a few years
ago, it has earned very good reputation for its quality products, over many other export oriented
textile mills.
This training gives us actual picture about man, machine, material, methods and market. We have
earned the direct knowledge about the raw materials, actual running condition of the machines,
working technologies, production follow-ups and the administration.
This mill is a well-planned with enough expansion facilities. The working condition & the relation
between employer & worker is wonderful.
We are enough fortunate to get an opportunity of having a training in this factory. During the
training period we received cordial association and co-operation from the authority & found all man,
machines & materials in appreciable working condition. All stuffs & officers were very sincere &
devoted to their duties for achieving the factories goal.
