The document provides guidance on designing seed drying rooms for seed banks. Key points include:
- Drying seeds prior to storage is important to prolong lifespan and prevent germination. The ideal is 15% relative humidity at 15°C.
- A purpose-built drying room allows large quantities of seeds to dry simultaneously and provides storage space. The size depends on the volume of seeds but is typically 25-125 cubic meters.
- Proper insulation, airflow, temperature control and monitoring equipment are needed to maintain the optimal drying conditions for seeds. Technical expertise is required to design an effective drying room.

It is widely understood that our software needs to become reactive; we need to consider responsiveness, maintainability, elasticity and scalability from the outset. Not all systems need to implement all these to the same degree, as specific project requirements will determine where effort is most wisely spent. But, in the vast majority of cases, the need to go reactive will demand that we design our applications differently.
In this presentation Dr. Roland Kuhn will explore several architecture elements that are commonly found in reactive systems, like the circuit breaker, various replication techniques, and flow control protocols. These patterns are language agnostic and also independent of the abundant choice of reactive programming frameworks and libraries. They are well-specified starting points for exploring the design space of a concrete problem: thinking is strictly required!
This webinar is based off of Dr. Kuhn’s session, Reactive Design Sessions, presented at WJAX and Code Mesh.
Building a Bank out of Microservices (NDC Sydney, August 2016)Graham Lea
From April 2014, Tyro Payments assigned more than half of it's Engineering team to developing and deploying a bespoke core banking system. Over the course of 18 months we shipped 21 new services and a new mobile app, as well as integrating with new external partners and Tyro's existing systems.
In this talk I presented a case study of the project, covering:
• the core tenets and some of the more interesting aspects of our architecture;
• why we were well positioned to use microservices for this greenfield work;
• the decisions we made that turned out well and the ones that didn't;
• security (we know a bit about that);
• testing (we do lots of it);
• deployment;
• how the system and the team is evolving.
This presentation deals with “History of the Banking Sector”, where in you will be introduced to the evolutionary steps of the Economic Civilization and various stages of development of the banking sector.

Grain aeration is a popular grain storage tool used in Australia by farmers, offering harvest flexibility, increased marketing opportunities and better control of grain quality. As the range of chemical control options is reduced, grain aeration provides a powerful non-chemical stored grain insect management option.
Performance Evaluation of a Developed Multipurpose Solar Dryerijtsrd
Post harvest losses in developing countries have contributed to the unavailability of foodstuff. Estimation of these losses is generally cited to be of the order of 4 but under very adverse conditions, it is estimated as high as 100 . A significant percentage of these losses are related to improper and or untimely preservation of foodstuffs. This research work is therefore aimed at developing a multipurpose solar dryer. The solar dryer consists mainly of solar collector and dryer chamber compartment. The materials used in this research work include based frame, transparent fiberglass cover, an absorber oven baked Aluminium , thermometer, wire gauze, etc. The frame was constructed from a wood bars with a dimension of 900 mm x 900 mm x 600 mm. The dryer chamber is a truncated rectangle and it comprises of a double walls made up of a plain ply board measuring 800 mm x 800 mm x by 500 mm with a transparent fiberglass cover inclined at an angle of 15o. Three different samples namely sample A sliced plantains , sample B sliced yams , and sample C fish were used for test performance evaluation of the developed multipurpose solar dryer. The results obtained reveal that overall heat energy transfer coefficient of 4.91w m0C, dryer chamber rate of 0.654 kg hr., and dryer chamber area of 0.659 m2 were required by the solar dryer. Besides, the solar dryer dried the three samples used in this research work within duration of 8 hours i.e., 9am 5pm . The maximum solar chamber dryer temperature and ambient temperature were recorded as 55.00 oC and 35.46 oC respectively. Besides, the minimum lower temperature values recorded were obtained as 40.45 oC for solar chamber dryer temperature and 29.02 oC for ambient temperature. The improved results obtained with the multipurpose solar dryer were due to improved temperature obtained with the solar dryer chamber.

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.

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.
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.

2. If the total uncleaned peak seed
volume is sufficiently small, (less
than 25m³) one or two incubator-dryers
might be a more appropriate
option for drying.
It is helpful to mark out the
dimensions of the proposed dry
room on the ground. Ideally, locate
the dry room close to, or attached
to, the seed cleaning area and
adjacent to the cold room(s). An
oblong-shaped room is better
than a square one. Supplying dry
air on one of the short walls and
extracting it from the opposite wall
will give a good air flow to most
parts of the room (though ‘dead
spots’ will exist).
Depending on the frequency of
access to the room and the humidity
of the external conditions, an air
lock (small lobby) may be required
to minimise the entry of humid air
into the room when the door is
opened. A 2m² air lock will be large
enough for at least one person
holding a crate to enter easily.
Include a secondary (emergency)
exit door from the dry room.
What materials should be used?
Ideally, install a new prefabricated
structure, either as a stand-alone
room or within a larger existing
room. Construct walls and ceiling
with Styrofoam panels (100mm
thick). For the floor, cover a
moisture-proof membrane with
Styrofoam insulation, and top with
marine plywood and epoxy-resin
screed. Doors must be well insulated
and windows (including those in the
doors) should be double-glazed.
If an existing brick- or wood-built
room is to be used, install a
moisture barrier (perhaps glazed
tiles or plastic sheeting) on all
internal surfaces. Install thermal
insulation on the outside of the
walls (and ceiling). Both will reduce
energy usage in maintaining the dry
room conditions and the external
insulation should help minimise
condensation in the walls.
How is the air dried and cooled?
The drier must have enough
capacity to deliver about six air
changes per hour to the drying
room. This is often the limiting
factor. To estimate the likely
suitability of a dryer, compare its
airflow capability with six times the
volume of the dry room. Confirm
this with the supplier/installer. Note
that refrigeration dryers are not
designed to deliver this condition.
The MSB recommends a rotary
sorption dryer containing a silica gel
or lithium chloride drying agent.
If possible, install two dryers, each
capable of coping with 66% of the
moisture load.
The dryer creates heat during the
drying process and should ideally
be placed outside the room (in a
ventilated area). Connect the drier
to the room via insulated supply and
extract ducts, of sufficient diameter
not to impede air flow.
Possible layout of dry room facilities
The direction of the air flow is indicated by the arrows.
This ‘process air’ dries the room and
should be supplied, via a chiller,
high up at one end of the room and
extracted low down at the other
end of the room. The drying agent
picks up moisture from the process
air and is then re-dried by the
second (‘reactivation’) air flow. Air
is drawn into the dryer, heated, and
passed over the drying agent. The
wet air produced by this process
needs to be ducted to the outside
of the building.
The location of the controlling
humidistat is important. Place the
humidistat halfway along one
of the longer walls of the room.
Construct a map of humidity in
the working dry room, using an RH
meter to guide where to best locate
the stacks of crates for drying.
If the dryer is located within the
dry room, ensure that the process
air mixes rapidly with the cooling
system air. Duct the wet reactivation
air out of the room. The chiller will
need to be located in the room and
be capable of cooling the heat load
from the dryer, achieving a room
temperature of 15ºC.

Below: Crates stacked on moveable trolleys in the MSB dry room, with seed collections
contained in porous bags
Assess the likely collection intake
per month during a typical year
and identify the peak volume of
material (for some seed banks, the
dry room may need to hold a whole
year’s collections). The number of
seeds per collection, and the size of
these seeds will greatly affect the
volume estimations.
Make these estimations on the basis
of uncleaned collections, unless
the seeds will definitely be cleaned
beforehand. Assume that drying
will take at least one month.
Seed drying room: worked
example
If the volume of an ‘average’ un-cleaned
seed collection (V) = 0.002m³
Number of collections in dry room
during peak period (N) = 500
Assume that collections are spread in
thin layers on paper inserts, within
self-stacking crates on trolleys. If
collections are to be held in bags,
less space is required but drying time
will increase.
Height of crate (H) = 0.12m
Width of crate (W) = 0.4m
Length of crate (L) = 0.6m
Proportion of crate filled (P) = 0.25
(especially if thin-layer drying)
Trolley Height (Z) = 0.3m
Number of collections per crate (A)
= (H * W * L * P) / V = 3
(round down to avoid part collections
in a crate)
Number of crates (B)
= N / A = 167 (round up)
A stack of self-stacking crates on a
trolley should not exceed a height of
2m.
Number of crates in stack (C)
= (2 - Z) / H = 14 (round down)
Number of stacks (D)
= B / C = 12 (round up)
Floor area of stacks (E)
= D * W * L = 2.88m²
In order to allow sufficient working
space (including a table) and good
air circulation, crates should only
occupy about 25% of the floor area.
Therefore, the total floor area will
need to be 4 times the area occupied
by the crates.
Required dry room floor area (F)
= E * 4 = 11.52m²
The height of the room is likely to be
around 2.5m.
Dry room volume (G)
= F * 2.5 = 28.8m³
