From the perspective of the European Union, which proposes as major objectives: combating the climate change; limiting the vulnerability of EU imports of hydrocarbons; promoting the economic growth and as well as new jobs by ensuring energy with accessible prices - it is proposed as the minimum requirements that by 2020: 20% reduction of energy consumption through energy efficiency and economic development; 20% of the global consumption of energy to be from renewable sources (> 10% bio-fuels); 20% reduction of GHG emissions Such a scientific approach is all the more interesting as the residential buildings, and not only, have a significant weight in terms of energy consumption, of which approximately 67% is used for heating purposes, which can add to the requirements of the European Union, as in a limited horizon of time, the vast majority of buildings, regardless of the fact that they are new or rehabilitated, to tend to a near-zero energy consumption.

Preheating Titanium helps in substantially increasing the tool life and improving machinability [3].The principle behind Pre-heating is increasing the difference in hardness between cutting tool and work piece thereby leading to a reduction in the component forces, improved surface finish and longer tool life.
M.Nouari and H.Makich [8] have stated in their research work that a reduction of cutting forces is noticed when the cutting speed increases, owing to the thermal softening of the material caused due to the temperature rise applied externally.
Taguchi has created a transformation of the repetition data to another value which is a response measure of the variation present which is known as signal-to-noise ratio(S/N) presented in Table 3.

The Q-value was calculated using the following equation (1) [4]: Q= RQDJn × JrJa × JwSRF (1) where RQD = value of Rock Quality Designation; Jn = amount of discontinuity set; Jr = roughness of the discontinuity surface; Ja = the weathering and filling level of the discontinuity surface; Jw = the pressure and water inflow; SRF = stress reduction factor.
On the other hand, one of the advantages of the Q-system is the rock mass classification includes the SRF (stress reduction factor) parameter, which considers the characteristics of particular zones [1].
The authors would like to thank the Ciliwung Cisadane River Basin Organization for the permission to do research and publish the site investigation data.

At the same time, dealing with complex geometric shape still needed other senior characteristics options which included scanning, lofting convex platform/matrix and the localization characteristics of datum axis and datum plane.
When reduction gears is at fault, It often engenders phenomena that gear oil of reduction gears has been emulsified, and the bearing has been rust and corrosion and damaged, which was caused by clotted moisture produced by gear oil in the process that was from hot to cold.

From crystal data show, it can be observed that there are difference in two kinds of Eu-O bond length from TPPO ligands and TTA anions.
The absorption of P=O in free TPPO shifted from 1184 cm−1 to around 1165 cm−1 meanwhile the appearance of peak at 535 cm−1 due to stretching vibration of Eu–O which indicates the coordination between TPPO,HTTA and Tb3+.The peak of O-H antisymmetric stretching in coodinated HTTA at 3430 cm-1 was weakened compared with enol O-H in free HTTA at 3420 cm-1 .The asymmetric stretching peak of C = O close to thiophene ring shifted from 1656 to 1602 cm-1, the peak close to strong electronegative trifluoromethyl from 1620 to 1524 cm-1 in HTTA,this carbonyl redshift indicates reduction in C = O bond strength after carbonyl oxygen coordinated to europium ions.
Alterations in bond strength lead to shifts of infrared absorption position as well as changes in intensity after the two legands coordination to Eu3+ ion,The absorption of C = C shifted from1597 cm-1 to 1537 cm-1 after coordination.So wave numbers reduction in C = C and C = O reflects average between single and double bonds[6]in chelate rings.

In the filled composites there is a significant reduction in the impact viscosity, while on the stress – strain diagram a yield point disappears, there is embrittlement of the material.
This effect of carbon fiber on impact strength means a reduction in the relative contribution of plastic deformation to the impact strength of filled composites, i.e. the impact strength of the studied samples is determined to a greater degree by the strength of the composite and the resistance to the propagation of fracture.
Thus, based on the analysis of the data of Table. 1, CF with a particle length of 0.2 mm as a filler suppresses the contribution of plastic deformation of the PPSS during impact tests to a slightly lesser extent than a carbon fiber with a particle length of 3 mm.

Adding of the alloying components leads to reduction of plasticity of alloys.
The obtained data indicate the reduction of resistance to fragile destruction at increase of tin proportion in bronze.

Large synergistic effects over copper-containing ceria were reported for CO oxidation [9], SO2 reduction by CO to elemental sulfur [10].
Therefore, with Cu content decreasing, the sample had sharper peaks and larger crystallite sizes, and a reduction of crystallite size from 10 nm for pure CeO2, to 6 nm with Cu/(Cu+Ce) molar ratio equal to 0.1.
Since we are trying to correlate the resistance change during sensing with the XRD and XPS data, it is Fig.4 Sensitivity curve of sensing element containing different CuO calcined at 1023K to 0.5% CO Fig.5 Dynamic response to 0.5% CO at 550K for sensing element CuO calcined at 1023K important to highlight the relationships between these measurements.

In this study, the data are obtained from SEM photographs of low magnification (x200) and every value of volume fraction is average of five different fields.
From 4 passes to 8 passes, the volume fractions of Si particles have a very slight reduction.
It is considered that some fine Si particles maybe dissolved into Al matrix and lead to reduction of volume fraction of Si particles during ECAP process [14, 18].

Neudeck et al. [14] suggested that a device including at least "one elementary" screw dislocation exhibited 5-35 % reduction in breakdown voltage, but their result is not consistent with ours.
Wahab et al. [15] suggested that it was the high density (>2000 cm-2) of screw dislocations that cuased the serious reduction of breakdown voltage in their large size (1.0 mmφ) 4H-SiC Schottky diode.
On the other hand, changes in ΔVFWD are never seen, even after 11 hours stress (data not shown here), in the diodes on the Lely and high-quality grown areas.
