The âtransformationâ of straight pipe to bent pipe takes place in the heated narrow annular zone which moves continuously along the length of the bend as the bending process advances (Figure 1). The heating of this zone is effected by means of an induction ring (Figure 2).
Budget at Completion (BAC) is the total budget allocated to the project. BAC is generally plotted over time. For example, periods of reporting (Monthly, Weekly, etc.) BAC is used to compute the Estimate at Completion (EAC), explained in the next section. BAC is also used to compute the TCPI and TSPI. BAC is calculated using the following formula:
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in the general population and in patients with coronary artery disease. The pathogenesis of CAC and bone formation share common pathways, and risk factors have been identified that contribute to the initiation and progression of CAC.
