Abstract:

A wide range of research fields have studied how emotions and behavior are affected by the physical environment. This gestalt theorist approach of experimental research as well seeks to measure emotion (using the valence-arousal scale) and micro-scale community development interactions when weighted physical environment factors are adjusted. Community development (CD) interactions at the micro-scale have received but slight attention from scholars in the CD research field and this study aims partially to investigate developing objective measures from social observations. CD interactions from r

Abstract:

Social interactions are constant and ongoing exchanges between individuals, which require both personal and social skills. These skills have been named in many different ways, as soft skills, transversal skills, general skills, key skills, etc. and have in recent years become a hot topic of research. In fact, it has been demonstrated that possessing them results in creating more value both in one’s workplace, while enhancing one’s hard skills, and also in one’s personal life. Two interrelated skills used in our daily lives: Negotiation and Persuasion, are the object of analysis of this study.

Abstract:

Clinical diagnosis of vitamin B12/cobalt (Co) deficiency is difficult due to the unspecific nature of the clinical symptoms. The apparent increase in vitamin B12 deficiency in New Zealand in the late 1990’s made it clear that health providers were very reliant on plasma reference ranges to diagnose deficiency. However, the lack of quantitative data of what these reference ranges represent in terms of supply of vitamin B12, has prevented a better understanding of the metabolism of vitamin B12 within sheep.

Abstract:

When developing drivetrain cooling modules for commercial vehicles, the top priority is the strength of the products. The reason lays within the structural change that companies are undergoing where the warehouses are minimized and the companies are relying on the transportation of commercial vehicles. If a drivetrain cooling module would fail to maintain a targeted temperature range of the drivetrain, there is not long until the vehicle is forced to a stop. At worst, the downtime of commercial vehicles can cause companies to come to a halt as well. Therefore, developing verified FE simulation

Lifelong Learning is a key concept in modern ‘knowledge-based’ society and it is viewed as a commodity, a personal drive or a social necessity.

Abstract:

Spider silk has outstanding mechanical properties, displaying high tensile strength and extensibility. The unique combination of strength and great extensibility make it one of the toughest materials in the world. Of the seven different spider silks, dragline silk, the lifeline silk of the spider, represents one of the most renowned fiber types that has extraordinary properties. As a result, many labs across the globe are racing to manufacture synthetic dragline silk fibers. With the production of synthetic dragline silk fibers, there are unlimited commercial applications.
