Higher Efficiency of Turbine Qil Purification by E. V. Toropov, I. F. Pshenisnov, A. I. Pshenisnov, Ya. I. Pshenisnov

“…This reason is non-effective operation of a coarse filter and high wear of a bearing No.4. The filter has been modernized and the required normative oil purity in the system of bearing lubrication and turbine-driven set regulation has been obtained.It has been shown that sieve fabric of polyamide monofilaments ensures effective filtration of contaminated oil in the system of bearing lubrication and steam turbines.Particle-size analysis of turbine oil impurities in various points of oil supply system can be used for technical diagnostics of turbine-driven set bearings.…”

Financialization, coalition of interests and interest rate in Brazil by Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, Luiz Fernando de Paula, Miguel Bruno

“…Studying the hypothesis of a pro-conservative monetary policy convention in Brazil, as initially formulated by Bresser-Pereira and Nakano (2002) and Erber (2011), we add three particular sub-hypotheses to it: (i) the prevalence of high real interest rates in Brazil for decades has led to the formation of a rentier-financial class coalition. Its aim is to maintain high real interest rates so as to gain from the resulting financialization process, fueled by interest revenues (ii) the existence of a “two-way“ public debt contagion effect between the banking reserves market and the public securities market; and (iii) the use of a high interest rate to finance current account deficits. …”
