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
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.

2. 2
Refrigeration System
The mechanism used for lowering or
producing low temp. in a body or a space, whose
temp. is already below the temp. of its
surrounding, is called the refrigeration system.
Here the heat is being generally pumped
from low level to the higher one & is rejected at
high temp.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
3. 3
Refrigeration
The term refrigeration may be defined as the process
of removing heat from a substance under controlled
conditions.
It also includes the process of reducing heat &
maintaining the temp. of a body below the general temp. of
its surroundings.
In other words the refrigeration means a
continued extraction of heat from a body whose temp is
already below the temp. of its surroundings.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
4. Major applications
• Food processing ,preservation & distribution.
• Chemical & process industries.
• Special applications such as cold treatment of
metals , medical , construction etc.
• Comfort air conditioning
msstevesimon@gmail.com
5. 5
• Refrigerating system
• Refrigerated system
• Refrigerant – working fluid
The equipment used to maintain a lower
temperature inside the system than its surroundings
is known as refrigerating system & the working fluid
used inside the system is known as refrigerant.
• TYPES OF REFRIGERATORS
▫ Air refrigerator
▫ Vapour refrigerator
msstevesimon@gmail.com
6. 6
Unit of refrigerating capacity
• The rate of heat absorbed from a body to be cooled
is called refrigerating effect.
• Refrigerating effect: It is the amount of heat energy
removed per unit time from the space to be cooled
by the refrigeration process. It is expressed in kw or
kJ/s. It is also called capacity of a refrigerator
• The main unit of refrigeration is tones of
refrigeration (TR).
• It is the rate at which the heat is removed from one
U.S tone of water at 0 d.c to ice at 0 d.c in 24 hrs.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
7. 7
• The rate of heat absorbed by the system from the
body to be cooled, equivalent to the latent heat
of fusion on 1ton of ice from and at 0 d.c in 24
hours is called one ton refrigeration.
• One ton of refrigeration is the rate of heat
absorbed by the system from the body to be
cooled ,equivalent to the latent heat of fusion of
one ton of ice, from and at zero degree Celsius in
24 hours.
• In general 1 ton refrigeration is equivalent to
3.5167 kJ of heat removal per second.

8. 8
Coefficient of Performance (COP)
COP=
desired refrigerating effect
________________________________
work spent in producing the refrigerating effect
COP of a refrigerator will be greater than unity
msstevesimon@gmail.com
9. • Coefficient of performance (COP)
It is the measure of the effectiveness of
the refrigeration system. It is the ratio of
refrigerating effect (Q) to the input work
required to produce the effect(w) .
COP =refrigerating effect/work input
= Q/W
• Relative COP: It is the ratio of actual COP to the
theoretical COP.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
10. COP & EFFICIENCY
• COP indicates the effectiveness of a refrigerator
or heat pump.
• For refrigerator the desired result is extraction
of heat from space.
• Generally the value of COP of refrigerator is
more than unity but the value of efficiency is less
than unity.
• It is for this reason the term COP is used for
rating the refrigerator.

12. Methods of producing refrigeration
1.Sensible cooling by cold medium.
eg :cooling of fish with ice, cooling with cold air /cold
water or brine.
2.Endothermic mixing of substances- refrigeration effect
obtained is small.
3.Phase changing process such as sublimation ,melting &
evaporation - eg: melting of ice produces a refrigeration
effect in the surroundings.
4.Expansion of liquids- it is a popular method of cooling.
(isentropic & isenthalpic process)
msstevesimon@gmail.com
13. Methods of producing refrigeration
5.Expansion of gases.(isentropic & isenthalpic
process)
6.Magnetic refrigeration-adiabatic
demagnetisation
7.Thermoelectric refrigeration- it is based on the
reverse Seebeck effect
msstevesimon@gmail.com
14. Air refrigeration system
• The air is taken in to the compressor from the
atmosphere & is compressed.
• The compressed air is cooled
to atmospheric
temperature in a heat exchanger.
• The cooled air is then expanded in an expander.
• The low temperature air coming out of the expander
enters the evaporator and absorbs heat from the
source.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
24. Vapour Compression Refrigeration
System
• The function of the compressor is to
continuously draw the refrigerant vapour from
the evaporator and compress it to a high
pressure.
• Condensor is used to condense the refrigerant
from vapour to liquid.
• Throttle valve acts as an expansion device.
• In evaporator the lower temperature refrigerant
absorbs the heat from the space to be cooled and
the refrigerant gets evaporated.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
30. Vapour Absorption Refrigeration
System
• It differs from the vapour compression system
only in the method of compressing the
refrigerant.
• The compressor is replaced by a combination of
absorber, generator & a pump.
• Ammonia is a very suitable refrigerant for this
system
msstevesimon@gmail.com
33. 33
Vapour Absorption System
• No moving parts
• Low grade thermal energy like solar energy can
be the input energy.
• Load variation does not affect system
performance.
• Environmental friendly.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
34. 34
Refrigerants
• Defined: Any substance capable of absorbing
heat from another required substance can be
used as refrigerant i.e. ice ,water, brine, air etc.

2. It should not be toxic.
3. Should be non corrosive to metals.
4.Should be capable of mixing well with
lubricating oil.
5.Electric resistance should be high.
6.Leakage should be detected easily.
7.Should be odourless.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
40. Domestic refrigerator
• Vapour compression cycle is normally preferred
over absorption system in domestic refrigerator
because of its compactness and more efficient
use of electrical energy.
• Refrigerant used is R-12 or R – 22.
msstevesimon@gmail.com
43. Lay out of an Ice plant
msstevesimon@gmail.com
44. Ice Plant
• Ammonia is used as the refrigerant.
• The
high temperature, high pressure ammonia vapours are
condensed in a condenser .
• The condensed liquid ammonia is collected in a receiver and then
expanded through the expansion valve .
• As the low pressure ammonia passes through the evaporator coils,
surrounding the ice cans in the brine tank in which brine solution is
filled, it absorbs heat from the solution and gets vapourized .
• It is again fed to the compressor to complete the cycle.
