Hi guys I'm new here, looking for advice on what Honours degree to do next year.
I left High School at 16 (I am now 23) and have been working in IT for the past 4-5 years, boring IT support kind of jobs. I've been an avid user of Linux(Fedora) for quite some years and have self-taught a little...
Hello everyone!
Please, help me with the terms.
There are bolted flange joints, right?
What if there are studs used in this joint?
Any change to the name of the joint?
Why I'm asking is because in Russian there is difference.
Stud bolts or studs are called absolutely different from bolts...
I am making a dust cleaning system for induction furnaces in my steel mill and for that I have to design a mechanism with which about 7m length of 16inch diameter pipe can rotate about an elbow attached to one end but wihtout any leakages. ANY HELP would be appreciated.
Suppose I have the marginal probability density functions of two random variables A and B, P(A), and P(B). Suppose I modeled P(A) and P(B) using a mixture model from some dataset D and obtained a closed form pdf for each.
