The test site, presented in our earlier papers [12], is equipped with control and measurement circuits for grinding parameters, three-axial piezoelectric force gauge 9257B made by KISTLER and computerized system for experimental data logging.
Substantial reduction of the tangential component of the specific grinding force during AEDG process has been observed during negative polarization (-) of the machined element (sample 3).
An advantageous reduction of the grinding energy has been observed also when applied working current of the 12 A intensity at the voltage drop about 150-200 V giving an energy reduction of about 40-50% in comparison with conventional grinding process.
Presented results of investigations have confirmed a substantial influence of electro-erosive process on reduction of the specific grinding energy in comparison with the conventional grinding (CG).
Effect of working current voltage and intensity on specific energy for conventional grinding (CG) and AEDG process of sintered carbides S20S: vs=30 m/s, vf=0.5 m/min, a=20 µm, ti=32 µs, tp=63 µs, dielectric – distilled water An advantageous reduction of the energy consumption has been observed also when the applied working current of 12 A intensity at the voltage drop in the range 150200 V giving an energy reduction of about 3.5 times for the whole voltage range in comparison with conventional grinding process.

On the other hand, the formation of BaTi2Si2O8 phase causes a reduction in the Ba/Sr ratio, which is also responsible for lattice shrinkage.
However, at high Si-B-O levels (≥10mol%), the Tm markedly reduces, which caused by the reduction in the Ba/Sr ratio due to the formation of BaTi2Si2O8.
The reduction in the permittivity is due to the deterioration of the ferroelectric long-range order [16], the decrease of Ba/Sr ratio and the formation of low-permittivity BaTi2Si2O8 [17].
We fitted our data to Eq. (1) as indicated by the solid line in Fig. 4.
The symbols indicate the experimental data and the solid lines represent fitting to Eq. (1).

Above all, in order to achieve the strategic objective of sustainable development, energy consumption reduction of pumping units, improvement of system efficiency and reduction of production cost become the main tasks of oil fields to achieve the energy saving and efficiency improvement.
In order to improve the efficiency of pumping units to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction, some energy-saving technologies in pumping units have been continually developed such as parallel compensation capacitor technology; digital motor controller technology; general frequency-conversion and speed-regulation technology; permanent magnet synchronous motor technology, etc.
The main circuit inverter uses IGBT power transistor, and the control loop core uses DSP processor, which has the capacity of high-speed data computing and meets the requirements of DTC high-speed real-time calculation.
· Flexible Extension Taking into account of the trend of the future digital wells and the need for centralized control of the production process, it sets aside the extended interface of supporting the field bus, which can easily transmit the relevant data to the upper management system.

The initial Al alloy sheets were then asymmetrically rolled to different reductions per each passes ranging from 5 to about 10% on a laboratory asymmetrical rolling mill with upper and lower rolling speed ratio of 1.5:1.
Orientation distribution functions (ODF) of Al alloy sheets were calculated from the measured pole figure data [16].
After asymmetric rolling with 5% reduction in thickness, distorted cube texture, {001}<100>, distorted rotated cube texture, {001}<110> at s=0.9 layer and distorted rotated cube texture, {001}<110> at center layer (S=0)was observed in Fig. 2 (b).
After asymmetric rolling with 10% reduction in thickness, distorted cube texture, {001}<100>, distorted rotated cube texture, {001}<110>, {123}<634>, {120}<021> and {120}<233> at one tenth thickness surface (S=0.9) and center (s=0) layer in Fig. 2 (c)
The average r-values (r(_) -values) and |Δr|-values were able to be calculated by using pole figure and ODF data [16] of Fig. 1 and 2 as shown in Fig. 3.

A 12 bit analog-to-digital converter, a 100 pin programmable logic device and a high speed 51 serials microcontroller are used to digitize the sensor’s outputs, process sensor data and control instrument.
The output noise is reduced by measuring the intensity of the reflected beam and averaging the output data.
The oxidation peak is at 0.46V and the reduction peak is at -0.02V.
The peak current ratio between oxidation and reduction reaction is nearly 1.
Then the potential sweeps in an opposite direction from 0.7V to -0.2V and the reduction peak gives the similar results.

Reduction of European emissions has consistently demonstrated a decrease in the acidity of rainwater in Slovakia [1].
The available data on air pollution shows the changes that occurred in 2014 compared to 2004 [1].
Three different periods of monthly averages of climatic data values were compared.
Using the monthly averages of climatic data and values of the air pollution from 2003 to 2006, the maps were obtained that are shown in Fig. 2a.
The main factors obtained in this standard STN EN ISO 9223 could be based on the dose-response function uncertainty or by measurements of air pollution and climatic data.
