Analysis of fibrous material deformation in the roll contact zone by Khurramov Shavkat, Abrorov Akbar, Abdullaev Akhror, Norov Nusiratjon, Baymatov Shakhriddin

“…The analytical description of the shape of contact curves and the thickness of processed material in the technological zone of a two-roll module in a dynamic mode is given, considering the deformation pattern of the processed material. It is determined that one of the factors that most influence the shape of the contact curve is the ratio of the compression rate of the coating deformation to the corresponding material feed rate. …”

Spatial Inequality and Accessibility of Senior High School Education in Bonebolango Regency by Aljunaid Bakari, Firman Sidik

“…The results of this study show that the availability of high school facilities in Bonebolango Regency has not met the needs of the upper school-age community, because it has not been able to accommodate 80% of the high school age population in each sub-district. The occupancy rate is also uneven, with four high schools having an occupancy rate above 80% of the temporary capacity and 11 high schools having an occupancy rate of less than 50% of their capacity Based on the analysis of the nearest neighbors, the distribution pattern of high schools in Bonebolango Regency is relatively random, with a value of 0.975337 and a z-score of -0.030915. …”
