AbstractLand suitability analysis is very important to assess and propose the most suitable land-use options. The reliability of land suitability evaluation is controlled by choosing the most limiting land characteristics and their ratings for the proposed land utilization types (LUTs). This study aims at examining the possibility of using current land use and farmers' knowledge as a starting point to suggest and/or modify land evaluation criteria, and to improve the land suitability evaluation process. The potential suitability of land for five LUTs (open range, improved range, rainfed barley, drip-irrigated vegetables and drip-irrigated trees) was evaluated near Al-Mafraq in Jordan using the maximum limitation method. The results indicated variable agreement levels between potential land suitability and current land use for different LUTs. Sixteen farms were selected to represent different cases of disagreement between potential suitability and current land use and were visited to explore the farmers' improved management practices adopted to overcome land-use limitations. Using proposed criteria, only 1% of the study area was highly suitable for drip irrigation, whereas most of the area was moderately or marginally suitable for other uses. This represents the conventional land evaluation procedures, which, in most cases, overlook the farmers' knowledge and practices that are adopted in a particular area to overcome biophysical limitations. The ratings for different land characteristics were modified based on comparisons with current land use, and by referring to farmers’ adopted management practices. Using modified criteria, the highly suitable area for drip-irrigated vegetables increased by 18% and the highly suitable area for drip-irrigated trees increased by 25%. The results emphasized that the consideration of the farmer's indigenous knowledge and current land use improve the land evaluation process, which leads to better utilization of limited land resources in fragile environments.

Abstract With almost 50,000 wild horses in holding facilities and declining adoption rates, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s wild horse adoption program is in crisis. To improve our understanding of Bureau of Land Management wild horse adopters, we conducted three in-depth interviews with 52 adopters in Colorado and Texas, spaced over their first year of adoption. Questions sought information on the adopters, their adopted horses, and their adoption experiences. The participants who completed all three interviews were uniformly satisfied with their adoptions. We argue that three factors inherent to wild horse culture in these states supported adopter satisfaction: adopters’ previous knowledge about horses, a western North American tradition that values wild horses, and participation in wild horse organizations. A lack of this culture in other regions may explain why they are less welcoming to wild horses and have lower rates of adoptions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This study aims at identifying the consequences of adopting statutory rather than market basis in assessing damages due to contamination to land. Most valuations undertaken to assess compensation for damages due to contamination on land are done with valuation methods prescribed by law for the compulsory acquisition of land. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 80 registered valuation firms with experience in both compulsory acquisition and damage assessment participated in a questionnaire survey to ascertain the methods adopted in valuing when determining the compensation payable as damages due to land contamination and the need for a framework for such valuations, in addition to some archival documents relating to the relevant laws and some purposively selected valuation reports, which were reviewed. Findings – The results of the analysis indicate that the use of compulsory acquisition valuation methods results in inadequate damages, which engenders conflicts among the stakeholders. The absence of any framework for damage assessment is responsible for the current practice in the Niger Delta, and it is recommended that international best practices utilising market basis of valuation be adopted. Research limitations/implications – Most valuation methods available are useful for valuing commercial properties regularly traded in the market and not applicable to the Niger Delta, which is mostly rural with very few market transactions. It is expected that this study will enable oil and gas industry operators, professional valuers advising the land owners or operators in the industry and the government to differentiate compensation paid for compulsory acquisition and compensation required to placate those suffering losses due to contamination. Practical implications – The findings will assist professional valuers to be more professional in valuing contaminated land devastated by oil spills. Social implications – Adopting the findings will engender a greater acceptability of the results of valuations undertaken in the wake of an oil spillage disaster and ensure a peaceful environment for the oil operators and the entire populace. Originality/value – The findings of this study are expected to assist policymakers in emerging economies and professional valuers acting in these environments to avoid precipitating crises by adopting inappropriate valuation techniques when assessing damages due to contamination. This study is original and has not been published elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
In Bangladesh, there is a need for socioeconomic sustainability in land management systems. An exploratory study was conducted in the southern part of Bangladesh (Nesarabad) to evaluate the successful strategy of sustainable land management (SLM), where swampy land is transformed, using ridges and ditches. Approximately 25 agro-based sites were studied to evaluate their relevant land use, management, and economic aspects. We determined that nearly 100% of the cultivated lands adopted this technology, representing a combination of SLM measures. The technology was based mainly on structural measures, combined with other conservation measures. The maintenance and recurring activities increased the efficiency of the technology and improved the land quality, making it more useful for various agricultural practices. Most of the lands were cultivated with fruit trees and vegetables, which provided high net average profits with low effort during cultivation. Land users claimed some weaknesses in establishment cost, marketing, transportation, etc. This study assesses these constraints and recommends some suggestions to generate a more suitable scheme for more SLM measures.

In South Korea, the need for residential modular buildings has highlighted, due to the increase in demand for small housing and the high land price in urban area. Thus, the cruse housing system (CHS) was developed to build high-rise residential buildings. The object of this study is to analyze the characteristics and fabrication processes of CHS residential buildings when the in-fill construction method is adopted. The result of this study showed that there is the potential to utilize the fabrication processes of CHS in-fill construction system to build high-rise modular buildings.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn August 2010, Kenya's citizens adopted a new Constitution. Intended to rein in an imperial presidency, the Constitution initiated one of the most ambitious governance reforms seen in Sub-Saharan Africa. ‘Devolution’ establishes 47 counties with extensive powers led by a directly elected governor and legislative assembly. The transition has exposed fault lines as actors struggle over the delineation of power. This paper presents the fight between the National Land Commission and the Ministry of Lands over the right to manage public land in the period 2013–2016. The paper argues that the difficulties associated with land reform arise because of the centrality of land allocation to the maintenance of power in the country. NLC's potential to transform land relations – by addressing land grabbing, effecting land redistribution, and ensuring land access by marginalised groups – is limited. This is due to the paucity of unallocated public land and the continued strength of Kenya's statist land tenure regime.

This study examines the certainty of ownership of land rights under the national law on land in Indonesia. The study is a normative study focused on reviewing the laws governing land and ownership for Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals living in Indonesia. The approach used in this study is the conceptual and statute approach to the law. The data collected in the form of articles of law that regulate and related to land and ownership. Qualitative method is a method used in analyzing and presenting data. The results indicate that the statutory provisions are indispensable. The ownership of land rights previously adopted from the Land Law of the West is no longer applicable to date in Indonesia. The study is recommended for those interested in the system and land law investigations to be used as reference material in the theoretical and practical review of the law.

Full textAbstract:
Att uppmärksamma människors som är adopterade fysiska och psykiska hälsa är viktigt eftersom det är en grupp i samhället där det visat sig finnas större tendenser till psykiskt ohälsa och social problematik. Det har också visat sig att adoptivbarn har varit i större behov av läkarvård än barn födda i biologiska familjer. Syftet med studien är att beskriva upplevelser adoptivbarn kan få av att skiljas från sitt ursprung och växa upp i en familj som inte är deras biologiska. Studien grundas på två självbiografier som analyserats enligt Lundman och Hällgren-Graneheims (2008) kvalitativa innehållsanalys. Resultatet innefattar tre huvudkategorier med tre respektive två underkategorier. Den första huvudkategorin är: Tankar om identitet med underkategorierna: Vem är jag, Att alltid vara annorlunda och En fot i varje land. Den andra huvudkategorin är: Känsla av tillhörighet och distans med underkategorierna: Sorgen över att ha blivit övergiven och Känslan av att vara olik, önskan att vara lik. Den tredje huvudkategorin är: Möten med omvärlden med underkategorierna: Kränkande behandling och Omgivningens frågor och synpunkter. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna ofta har upplevt ett lidande, bland annat till följd av att de känt sig annorlunda, haft svårt att hitta eller förstå sin identitet. De har också upplevt avsaknad av tillhörighet till familjen, samhället och även till sitt ursprungsland. I diskussionen har författaren valt att ta upp delar av resultatet av vikt för sjuksköterskeprofessionen. Avslutningsvis presenteras förslag på praktiska implikationer för arbetet som sjuksköterska.<br>Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

Full textAbstract:
This study uses conjoint analysis to examine the preferences of buyers for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horses based on physical attributes of wild horses and individual characteristics of the buyers. Generalized ordered logit models and multinomial logit models are used to study the impact of the buyers’ demographic characteristics such as age, gender, knowledge about wild horse care, and number of wild horses previously adopted on physical attributes of the horses such as color, age, height, training status, temperament, conformation, and unique markings. Using a choice experiment, taken together, these attributes determine buyer’s preferences for a wild horse. This study reveals that characteristics of buyers have significant effects on their preferences for wild horses. Their gender, age, knowledge about wild horse care, and the number of horses previously adopted influence the importance that buyers place on physical attributes of a wild horse in their decision to purchase a wild horse.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to provide an overview of the attitude toward mobile banking among early adopters in Myanmar. By conducting exploratory interviews with ten bank employees, factors that are important for the adoption of mobile banking were also identified. The qualitative method allowed factors beyond the existing technology adoption frameworks to emerge. From the results, it was concluded that the attitude toward mobile banking is overall positive among the early adopters. Findings were aligned with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), suggesting that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are important factors for the usage of mobile banking. Social influence did not show any consistent results, but external barriers such as regulations and cash-based society were evidently important factors for adoption. Moreover, experience showed to have an impact on the participants’ attitude and the adoption of mobile banking. The findings from this paper could work as a foundation when formulating future hypotheses for mobile banking adoption in Myanmar. Regarding practical contributions, banks can get an insight into what is important to focus on when designing a strategy to increase the rate of mobile banking adoption. For future research, it would be of interest to extend the sample and collect data from both users and non-users.<br>Denna studie syftar till att ge en övergripande bild av attityden mot mobila banktjänster bland tidiga användare i Myanmar. Genom explorativa intervjuer med tio bankanställda, identifierades också faktorer som är viktiga för att anamma mobila banktjänster. Den kvalitativa metoden möjliggjorde faktorer som ligger utanför de befintliga teoretiska ramverken att vara del av studien. Från resultaten drogs slutsatsen att attityden mot mobila banktjänster är övergripande positiv bland de tidiga användarna. Resultaten låg i linje med modellen Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), vilket tyder på att uppskattad användbarhet och uppskattad användarvänlighet är viktiga faktorer för anammandet av mobila banktjänster. Socialt inflytande visade inga konsekventa resultat, men externa barriärer som regleringar samt kontantbaserat samhälle visade sig vara viktiga faktorer för anammandet till mobila banktjänster. Dessutom påverkade erfarenhet deltagarnas attityd mot och anammandet av mobila banktjänster. Resultaten från denna rapport kan användas som en grund vid formulering av hypoteser i framtida forskning inom implementering av mobila banktjänster i Myanmar. Vad gäller det praktiska bidrag från denna studie, kan bankerna få en inblick i vad som är viktigt att fokusera på vid utformning av strategi för att öka användningen av mobila banktjänster. För framtida forskning vore det intressant att utöka urvalet av deltagare och samla in data från både användare och icke-användare.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>企業管理學系碩士在職專班<br>103<br>Land administration agents are the most important and most critical figures who use real estate transaction price system. As with any new technology products have just invented or newly launched, there must be some consumers willing to adopt new technology products, some consumers will be reluctant to use them. The similar phenomenon is also happened to the use of real estate transaction price system by land administration agents. Therefore, this study combines Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior and barriers to explore the drive (perceived behavior control, subject norm, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) and resistance (resistance to change, perceived threat and perceived risk) for the registration of real estate transaction price adopted by the land administration agent.
With the land administration agents of New Taipei City as study object. The method of judgmental sampling is adopted to get the samplings for this study. Total 300 questionnaires were distributed and 258 valid questionnaires returned with 86 % return rate. Descriptive statistics, reliability, validity and partial least square method was applied to examine the proposed research framework. After the empirical research, the major findings as follows:
1. Subject norm has a significant positive influence on land administration agents’ perceived usefulness towards real estate transaction price system.
2. Subject norm has a significant positive influence on land administration agents’ usage intention towards real estate transaction price system.
3. Land administration agents’ perceived usefulness towards real estate transaction price system has a significant positive influence on their usage intention.
4. Land administration agents’ perceived ease of uses towards real estate transaction price system has a significant positive influence on perceived usefulness.
5. Land administration agents’ perceived treat towards real estate transaction price system has a significant positive influence on resistance to change.

The central claim of the thesis
is that diasporic migration
affects South Asian women in
particular ways.
The most positive outcome is that
these women adopt new trans-border
identities but that these remain
shaped by class, culture and
gender. Hence a working class
milieu such as the one depicted
by Monica Ali, leads to an
immigrant, ghetto-ised,
community-based identity,
located solely in the land of
adoption, with return or travel to
the homeland no longer possible.
However, the milieu imagined in
Jhumpa Lahiri’s text, a middle-class, suburban environment, creates a solitary, transnational
identity, lived between countries,
where travel between the land of
birth and the land of adoption
remains accessible.<br>English<br>M.A. (English)

Full textAbstract:
To overcome the limitations of starch-based and sugar-based ethanol, scientists propose to expand the use of cellulosic ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol is a biofuel produced from wood, grasses, or the non-edible parts of plants. As the U.S. has a large cellulosic biomass production base (Perlack et al., 2006), production of ethanol from cellulosic feedstock and use of ethanol as a substitute for gasoline could help promote rural development, reduce green house gases emissions, and increase energy independence. This study focuses on the cost of producing cellulosic ethanol along with the amount of carbon sequestered and emitted using switchgrass as a feedstock.
In the first part of this study, willingness to adopt (WTA) switchgrass is evaluated. The amount of farmland available for growing switchgrass was estimated using Probit and Tobit models of switchgrass production survey data developed in the University of Tennessee’s Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. The estimated results from these two models show that when switchgrass prices increase, the probability of farmers to grow switchgrass and land acreages used for switchgrass production will increase.
In the second part of this study, based on the results of estimated, farmland availability within an optimal draw area of 50 miles of a biorefinery and a switchgrass delivery schedule could be determined from the biorefinery’s perspective considering different bale types and storage methods. A cost minimization programming model was developed to estimate the year-round switchgrass delivery schedule within fifty miles of three selected biorefinery locations in the southeastern U.S. Also in this study, the carbon credit effect was considered in the model. The results from the programming model suggest that with the carbon credit paid to biorefineries, more marginal land will be used for growing switchgrass, and carbon will be sequestered in the soil at a level that exceeds emitted carbon by at least 1.5 times. Lower feedstock costs would be available to the biorefineries if a carbon payment was available to producers for net carbon sequestered.

<p> </p>
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution refers to pollution entering receiving
waterbodies from diffuse sources, and is one of the main causes of water
pollution in the United States. Best management practices (BMPs) and low impact
development (LID) strategies are water and land management practices geared at
reducing the effect of NPS pollution. This research focused on residents in
northwestern Indiana and assessed their interest in adopting BMPs and LID
strategies across the urban-to-rural gradient. Resident groups of interest
include medium/large-scale farmers, small-scale farmers, rural non-farming
residents, suburban residents, and urban residents. Specifically, this research
explored residents’ awareness of and attitudes towards water quality
improvement practices, their likelihood of adopting these practices, and
factors that influence their likelihood of adoption. Data was collected through
a household survey that was mailed to residents of Porter and LaPorte counties.
In addition to survey questions measuring respondents’ awareness, attitudes,
perceptions, likelihood of adoption, and demographics, the survey also
contained an experimental component in the form of an information page. By
using descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistical procedures to analyze
survey data, this research found that respondents generally reported high
levels of awareness of and positive attitudes towards BMPs and LID strategies.
Despite this, 41% of respondents reported a likelihood of adopting any water
quality improvement practices. This research found that resident groups
differed in their awareness of water quality improvement practices, as well as
their descriptive and subjective norms associated with adopting these
practices. Respondents valued improved environmental quality and reduced flash
flood risk as benefits of adopting water quality improvement practices, and
identified not knowing enough about specific conservation practices and
concerns about how to install and maintain the practices as main barriers to
adoption. Generally, respondents who were younger, perceived more problems with
various potential water pollution sources, were more aware of water quality
improvement practices, had more positive attitudes, had a stronger sense of
personal responsibility, sought information in the past about water quality
problems, or perceived stronger social expectations from peers (i.e.,
subjective norms) were more likely to be interested in adopting water quality
improvement practices in the next year. The role of information was more
ambiguous. While information about how to choose, install and maintain specific
water quality improvement practices may be useful for residents, the
information treatment about the responsibility of each resident group for NPS
pollution did not seem to affect respondents’ likelihood of adoption. However,
this research did find that respondents reacted differently to the information
provided based on their initial self-reported likelihood of adoption prior to
receiving any information. Based on these results, this research suggests
strategies that may be used by public and private entities to motivate
residents’ adoption of water quality improvement practices, including but not
limited to: (1) developing education programs that highlight both the broader
environmental quality benefits and geography-specific practical benefits of
water quality improvement; (2) developing technical assistance programs that
help residents identify appropriate conservation practices for their homes and
properties and that facilitate installation and maintenance of such practices;
(3) developing communication strategies to help residents establish a sense of
self-responsibility and align their perceived water quality problems with their
own actions; and, (4) developing outreach programs to help establish and
facilitate descriptive and subjective norms in favor of adopting water quality
improvement practices at the watershed scale. <br>

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the United States, biological invaders are managed by all Federal agencies that have responsibility for natural resources, as well as the States, territories, and occasionally regional entities. Federal agencies’ invasive species programs are implemented under the mandates and guidance provided by dozens of laws, which include statutes enacted by the Congress, Executive Orders issued by the President, and regulations adopted by the relevant agencies. Although there are numerous laws implemented by the States or occasionally regional entities, this chapter will focus on Federal legislation and regulations that guide work on all public and private forests, rangelands, and grasslands in the United States. There are three categories of laws: (1) laws to prevent introduction or initial spread; (2) laws for management or control of invasive species; and (3) more generally defined land management laws which serve as an umbrella for invasive species activities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This section begins by examining the pattern of women's involvement in livestock livelihoods, and ownership and control of assets (mainly land and livestock) in the study areas. The discussion then moves to changes in gender roles; changes related to climate change; implications and coping mechanisms adopted by women and men; rural services and their role in building resilience; and innovation availability and adoption in the past 5 years. The findings of the study reveal that both women and men are marginalized from income generation training and loan acquisitions, and are negatively affected by resource degradation and climate change impacts, albeit in different ways. The benefits of the feminization of agrarian labor may be incommensurate with the disadvantages mainly due to the lack of social and economic interventions needed to improve agricultural productivity for women and men in the context of increased climate change impacts and resource degradation.

AbstractThis introduction summarizes chapters of Part II. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_9, Yamamoto (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:88–96, 2018) has compared between the street method, the asset valuation adopted for the imposition of property tax in Japan, and the computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) method generally adopted in North America focusing on education and training of valuators. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_10, Yamazaki (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:97–101, 2018) argues that one of the major causes for relatively low density use of land in the city in Japan is the land tax system. He focuses on property tax and examines defects of the tax from view of economist. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_11, Kobayashi (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:129–138, 2018), taking an actual example, has examined difference between precise legal interpretation of ‘exemption from real estate acquisition tax due to purpose of use’ and taxation practices conducted by local administrative bodies. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_12, Shirakawa and Okoshi (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:88–96, 2017) have shown that the real estate companies were committed to transactions as dual agencies to whatsoever degree, and analyzed attributes of real estate brokerage companies which are able to be dual agencies and how such dual agency affects contract price.In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_13, Ueno (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:97–105, 2017) has analyzed impacts of the macroeconomic conditions on the land price gradient curves which are estimated using real estate data of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in 1970, 1976, 1985, 1988, 1994, 2008, 2010, and 2016. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_14, Komatsu (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:110–118, 2017) has analyzed impacts that refurbishment of existing apartment has on possible increase in rent using the multinomial probit model and the Tobit model. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_15, Hanazato (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:119–128, 2017) has shown that around 90% of condominium reconstruction cases are predictable using the estimated discriminant function in terms of objective real estate data only. In Chap. 10.1007/978-981-15-8848-8_16, Ota et al. (Jpn J Real Estate Sci 31:109–119, 2018) have analyzed determinants of rent for rental house, office, and shop within 10-min walking distance from Shibuya Station in Tokyo. Multiple regression analyses are conducted and have shown that space syntax (SS) measures (Hillier and Hanson, The Social Logic of Space. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1984) significantly affect rent as well as conventional location attributes.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAgriculture has shown a considerable capacity to adapt to climate change. Many adaptations occur autonomously without the need for conscious response by farmers and agricultural planners. However, it is likely that the rate and magnitude of climate change may exceed that of normal change in agriculture that specific technologies and management styles may need to be adopted to avoid the most serious of effects. Thus areas likely to be most vulnerable to climate variability can be spared from its impacts through implementation of appropriate adaptation measures such as development of indigenous technologies.Six hundred farmers from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria were surveyed and they all possess different indigenous adaptation strategies ranging from swamp farming (Oyo State), application of neem seed (Kaduna State), soil erosion control (Enugu State), rainwater harvesting (Taraba State), land improvement (Cross River State) to farmland management (Benue State). They all have simple but profound technologies driving these schemes with much success. These indigenous adaptation techniques are majorly constrained by inadequate financial resources. Indigenous technology adoption is affordable with high revenue potential.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFood production in Kenya and Africa in recent past has experienced vagaries of weather fluctuations which ultimately have affected crop yield. Farming in Kenya is localized in specific Agro-ecological zones, hence understanding crop growth responses in particular regions is crucial in planning and management for purposes of accelerating adoption. A number of strategies for adoption and adaptation to changing weather patterns have been deployed yet only limited challenges have been partially addressed or managed. This chapter examines previous methods used in classifying agro-ecological zones and further provides additional insightful parameters that can be adopted to enable farmers understand and adapt better to the current variable and unpredictable cropping seasons. The chapter scrutinizes past and current documented information on agro-ecological zonal valuations coupled with the use of earth observation components such as air temperature at surface, land surface temperature, evapotranspiration, soil, temperature, and soil and moisture content in order to better understand and effectively respond to new phenomena occurring as a result of climate change in the marginal agricultural areas. Significant variations in precipitation, ambient temperature, soil moisture content, and soil temperature become evident when earth observation data are used in evaluation of agro-ecological lower midland zones IV and V. The said variations cut across areas within the agro-ecological zones that have been allocated similar characteristics when assigning cropping seasons. The chapter summarizes the outcomes of various streams of contributions that have reported significant shifts or changes in rainfall and temperature patterns across Kenya and wider Eastern Africa region. The chapter highlights the need for re-evaluation of the agro-ecological zones based on the recent earth observation datasets in their diversity. The research emphasizes the use of multiple climate and soil-related parameters in understanding climate change in the other marginal areas of Kenya.

Full textAbstract:
A coupled boundary element method (BEM) and finite difference method (FDM) are applied to solve conjugate heat transfer problem of a three-dimensional air-cooled turbine blade. A loosely coupled strategy is adopted, in which each set of field equations is solved to provide boundary conditions for the other. In the fluid region, computation code (HIT-NS CODE) adopts the FDM to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. In the solid region, the BEM is adopted to resolve the conduction heat transfer equations. An iterated convergence criterion is the continuity of temperature and heat flux at the fluid-solid interface. The solid heat transfer computation code (3D-BEM CODE) is validated by comparing with the results of an analytic solution and the results of commercial code, the results from 3D-BEM CODE have a good agreement with the analytic solution and commercial code results. The BEM uses a weighted residual method to make the Laplace equation convert into a surface integral equation and the surface integral equation is discretized. The BEM avoids the complicated mesh needed in other computation methods and saves the computation time. In addition, the BEM has the characteristic of a combination of an analytic and a discrete solution. So the BEM solutions of heat conduction problems are more accurate. The results of the coupling computation code (HIT-NS-3DBEM CODE) have a good agreement with the experimental results. The adiabatic condition result is different from the results of experiment and code calculation. So the results from conjugate heat transfer analysis are more accurate and they are closer to realistic thermal environment of turbines. Four turbulence models are applied: K-epsilon model, K-omega model, K-omega (SST-Gamma Theta) model, and B-L model adopted by computation code. Different turbulence models gives different the results of vane wall temperature. Comparing the four turbulence models, the different turbulence models can exactly simulate the flow field, but they can not give exact values for the heat conduction simulation in the boundary layer. The result of K-Omega (SST-Gamma Theta) turbulence model is closer to the experimental data.

The ANSYS-CFX software is used to simulate NASA-Mark II high pressure air-cooled gas turbine. The work condition is Run 5411 which have transition flow characteristics. The different turbulence models are adopted to solve conjugate heat transfer problem of this three-dimensional turbine blade. Comparing to the experimental results, k-ω-SST-γ-θ turbulence model results are more accurate and can simulate accurately the flow and heat transfer characteristics of turbine with transition flow characteristics. But k-ω-SST-γ-θ turbulence model overestimates the turbulence kinetic energy of blade local region and makes the heat transfer coefficient higher. It causes that local region temperature of suction side is higher. In this paper, the compiled code adopts the B-L algebra model and simulates the same computation model. The results show that the results of B-L model are accurate besides it has 4% temperature error in the suction side transition region. In addition, different turbulence characteristic boundary conditions of turbine inner-cooling passages are given and K-ω-SST-γ-θ turbulence model is adopted in order to obtain the effect of turbulence characteristic boundary conditions for the conjugate heat transfer computation results. The results show that the turbulence characteristic boundary conditions of turbine inner-cooling passages have a great effect on the conjugate heat transfer results of high pressure gas turbine. ANSYS is applied to analysis the thermal stress of Mark II blade which has ten radial cooled passages and the results of Von Mises stress show that the temperature gradient results have a great effect on the results of blade thermal stress.

A supersonic vaneless rotor-rotor turbine (abbr.RRT) which only consists of upstream rotor and downstream rotor rotating in opposite direction is presented to investigate its aerodynamic characters and performance in the paper. The methods of both controlled vortexes and controlled meridional contours are adopted in the through-flow design and analysis of RRT. The counter twisted theory, which is usually used in the stationary vanes is employed the upstream rotor of RRT to adjust its exit angular momentum. The stagnation efficiency of RRT was 94.2% which is about higher 3% than the conventional turbine with the same shaft power. The results of 3D simulation of RRT indicated that it is very important to adopt the method of controlled vortexes to design the upstream rotor in order to improve its aerodynamic performance on condition that its vanes are eliminated completely.

Full textAbstract:
A simulation program for transient analysis of the start-up procedure of heavy duty gas turbines for power generation has been constructed. Unsteady one-dimensional conservation equations are used and equation sets are solved numerically using a fully implicit method. A modified stage-stacking method has been adopted to estimate the operation of the compressor. Compressor stages are grouped into three categories (front, middle, rear), to which three different stage characteristic curves are applied in order to consider the different low-speed operating characteristics. Representative start-up sequences were adopted. The dynamic behavior of a representative heavy duty gas turbine was simulated for a full start-up procedure from zero to full speed. Simulated results matched the field data and confirmed unique characteristics such as the self-sustaining and the possibility of rear-stage choking at low speeds. Effects of the estimated schedules on the start-up characteristics were also investigated. Special attention was paid to the effects of modulating the variable inlet guide vane on start-up characteristics, which play a key role in the stable operation of gas turbines.

Full textAbstract:
In the analyzes of the urgency of the land consolidation and land exchange works, and particularly in the spatial comparative analyzes it is helpful to use methods of multivariate statistics, which allows the determination of synthetic measure. Synthetic measures substitute the large set of attributes of the object with one aggregate variable, allowing ordering the analyzed objects (villages) in terms of the phenomenon in question of the urgency of carrying out the work of consolidation and exchange of land. The aim of the paper is to determine measures for the urgency of carrying out the works of consolidation and exchange of land according to the method proposed by Z. Hellwig and comparison of the obtained results with the results obtained using the zero unitarisation method (ZUM). The aim of the analyzes is to verify (check), how the use of different methods of aggregation of the same diagnostic variables affects the results of research. The subject of the research consists of 14 precincts located in the municipality Białaczów, in the Łódzkie voivodship region. To construct the synthetic measure for the urgency of carrying out the works of consolidation and exchange of land 5 groups of features characterizing the works related to consolidation and exchange of land were adopted.

Full textAbstract:
The transition of the boundary layer subjected to unsteady wake-passing in a linear cascade of ultra high lift profiles has been investigated at the Avio Aerodynamics Laboratory. The blade profiles are representative of the turbine nozzle mid section of a long range aeroengine. Measurements were performed at the cruise Reynolds number. A surface hot-film array was adopted to survey the boundary layer nature and the periodic variations related to the passing wakes. A phase-locked ensemble averaging technique was employed in order to separate the random fluctuations from the periodic ones. Results have been represented in space-time plots in order to provide an overall view of the time-dependent phenomena in terms of the quasi wall shear stress statistical moments, that are important parameters for the analysis of the boundary layer transition and separation. Passive control devices may be adopted to suppress boundary layer laminar separation at critical conditions (low Reynolds numbers, ultra high lift profiles). In the present experimental investigation a wavy step device has been mounted on the suction side of the blade. The effects of this boundary layer control device on the transition process and profile losses have been investigated at cruise Reynolds number, with and without incoming wakes.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the results of the development of a simple and compact power generator driven by waste heat, assuming hot water at a temperature of 80 to 90°C as a heat source. Firstly, a feasibility study on the characteristics of a low temperature power cycle (evaporated at 77°C, condensed at 42°C) was conducted. As a result, TFE (Trifluoroethanol CF3CH2OH), R123, F245fa were selected as suitable for the cycle to optimize the cycle efficiency. Experimental validation of the power generator in which TFE was adopted as a working fluid was also conducted. A radial turbine was adopted as an expander, and was newly designed using an inverse design method, whereby the 3-D blade geometry for specified blade loading distribution was numerically obtained. Turbine performance and flow fields were then validated by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The test equipment was driven by hot water as a heat source and cooling water as a cooling source, and the generated power was connected with the electric utility. The characteristics of the power generating cycle and those of the turbine were obtained experimentally. The experimental results of the expander turbine performance, using TFE as a working fluid, showed good agreement with CFD results.

This study analyses the possibility of differentiation in the supply of different types of products from the processing of the olive tree fruit in order to make them more appealing to the target audience. Possibilities have been identified to distinguish the business from other market participants and to better position it on the market through cost leadership or differentiation of product quality. An analysis has been conducted of a product differentiation method applying five factors facilitating the positioning of the brand to achieve better satisfaction of consumer preferences and earn the consumers' loyalty. It was found that in the examined product category the factor contributing to the greatest degree to product differentiation is the adopted assortment policy. This is an expert method that can be successfully applied to other product categories.

Full textAbstract:
Two power plant schemes with natural gas reforming and CO2 emission reduction were analyzed and discussed. The first one integrates natural gas reforming technology with an oxy-fuel combined power cycle (OXYF-REF), with water as the main work fluid. The reforming heat is obtained from the available turbine exhaust heat, and the produced syngas is used as fuel with oxygen as the oxidizer. The turbine working fluid can expand down to a vacuum, producing a high pressure ratio. The second system adopts pre-combustion decarbonization and a chemical absorption technology for CO2 removal (PCD-REF). The gas turbine is the conventional air based one with compressor intercooling. Supplementary combustion is adopted to elevate the turbine exhaust temperature and thus achieve a much higher methane conversion rate (∼95%). Both cycles involve internal heat recuperation from gas turbine exhausts, and particular attention has been put on the integration of heat recovery chain to reduce the related exergy destruction. The systems are simulated and compared in terms of both thermal efficiency and CO2 removal. The OXYF-REF cycle has shown better performance with higher levels of CO2 removal and energy efficiency of 52%. The PCD-REF cycle showed a thermal efficiency of 43% and CO2 specific emission of 55.5 g/kWh.

Full textAbstract:
Air film cooling has been successfully used to cool gas turbine hot sections for the last half century. A promising technology is proposed to enhance air film cooling with water mist injection. Numerical simulations have shown that injecting a small amount of water droplets into the cooling air improves film-cooling performance significantly. However, previous studies were conducted at conditions of low Reynolds number, temperature, and pressure to allow comparisons with experimental data. As a continuous effort to develop a realistic mist film cooling scheme, this paper focuses on simulating mist film cooling under typical gas turbine operating conditions of high temperature and pressure. The mainstream flow is at 15 atm with a temperature of 1561K. Both 2-D and 3-D cases are considered with different hole geometries on a flat surface, including a 2-D slot, a simple round hole, a compound-angle hole, and fan-shaped holes. The results show that 10%–20% mist (based on the coolant mass flow rate) achieves 5%–10% cooling enhancement and provides an additional 30–68K adiabatic wall temperature reduction. Uniform droplets of 5 to 20 μm are used. The droplet trajectories indicate the droplets tend to move away from the wall, which results in a lower cooling enhancement than under low pressure and temperature conditions. The commercial software Fluent (v. 6.2.16) is adopted in this study, and the standard k-ε model with enhanced wall treatment is adopted as the turbulence model.

Full textAbstract:
Right-turn lane (RTL) crashes are among the most key contributors to intersection crashes in the US. Different right turn lanes based on their design, traffic volume, and location have varying levels of crash risk. Therefore, engineers and researchers have been looking for alternative ways to improve the safety and operations for right-turn traffic. This study investigates the traffic safety performance of the RTL in Indiana state based on multi-sources, including official crash reports, official database, and field study. To understand the RTL crashes' influencing factors, we introduce a random effect negative binomial model and log-linear model to estimate the impact of influencing factors on the crash frequency and severity and adopt the robustness test to verify the reliability of estimations. In addition to the environmental factors, spatial and temporal factors, intersection, and RTL geometric factors, we propose build environment factors such as the RTL geometrics and intersection characteristics to address the endogeneity issues, which is rarely addressed in the accident-related research literature. Last, we develop a case study with the help of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The empirical analyses indicate that RTL crash frequency and severity is mainly influenced by turn radius, traffic control, and other intersection related factors such as right-turn type and speed limit, channelized type, and AADT, acceleration lane and AADT. In particular, the effects of these factors are different among counties and right turn lane roadway types.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four headings: 1. From Source to Sea: River systems, from their source to the sea and beyond, should form the focus for research projects, allowing the integration of all archaeological work carried out along their course. Future research should take a holistic view of the marine and maritime historic environment, from inland lakes that feed freshwater river routes, to tidal estuaries and out to the open sea. This view of the landscape/seascape encompasses a very broad range of archaeology and enables connections to be made without the restrictions of geographical or political boundaries. Research strategies, programmes From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report iii and projects can adopt this approach at multiple levels; from national to site-specific, with the aim of remaining holistic and cross-cutting. 2. Submerged Landscapes: The rising research profile of submerged landscapes has recently been embodied into a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action; Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology and Landscapes of the Continental Shelf (SPLASHCOS), with exciting proposals for future research. Future work needs to be integrated with wider initiatives such as this on an international scale. Recent projects have begun to demonstrate the research potential for submerged landscapes in and beyond Scotland, as well as the need to collaborate with industrial partners, in order that commercially-created datasets can be accessed and used. More data is required in order to fully model the changing coastline around Scotland and develop predictive models of site survival. Such work is crucial to understanding life in early prehistoric Scotland, and how the earliest communities responded to a changing environment. 3. Marine & Maritime Historic Landscapes: Scotland’s coastal and intertidal zones and maritime hinterland encompass in-shore islands, trans-continental shipping lanes, ports and harbours, and transport infrastructure to intertidal fish-traps, and define understanding and conceptualisation of the liminal zone between the land and the sea. Due to the pervasive nature of the Marine and Maritime historic landscape, a holistic approach should be taken that incorporates evidence from a variety of sources including commercial and research archaeology, local and national societies, off-shore and onshore commercial development; and including studies derived from, but not limited to history, ethnology, cultural studies, folklore and architecture and involving a wide range of recording techniques ranging from photography, laser imaging, and sonar survey through to more orthodox drawn survey and excavation. 4. Collaboration: As is implicit in all the above, multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches are essential in order to ensure the capacity to meet the research challenges of the marine and maritime historic environment. There is a need for collaboration across the heritage sector and beyond, into specific areas of industry, science and the arts. Methods of communication amongst the constituent research individuals, institutions and networks should be developed, and dissemination of research results promoted. The formation of research communities, especially virtual centres of excellence, should be encouraged in order to build capacity.
