Abstract:

_ It was a testimony to the impact science projects have had on the shale sector that kicked off the 15th Annual SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition (HFTC) held in the Houston area. When the technical experts and executives gathered, they discussed how, after years of subsurface study, past beliefs have been dispelled and new learnings translated into multimillion- to billion-dollar business decisions. At the conference’s plenary session, attendees learned from Devon Energy about why the oil company has become a vocal champion of refracturing and the influence it had

Abstract:

The purpose of the paper is to review and evaluate the performance of a specific type of globally successful innovative company introduced to scientific literature as “hidden champion” by Simon (1990), using a combination of traditional financial key performance indicators (KPIs) with the modern evaluation method of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model. The results showed that there are many areas in the selected company where EFQM allows building an effective management system, applied as a benchmarking tool for using the experience of leading companies.

Abstract:

Despite a range of environmental concerns, railway companies worldwide continue to use timber sleepers to maintain their existing timber lines. In recent years reinforced polymer sleepers have emerged as a potential alternative but because of their high price their uptake has been very slow. In Australia a number of exciting new developments in reinforced polymer sleepers have recently been introduced into the market place by Carbonloc Pty Ltd, a spin-off company of the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba.

This paper describes the segregation of fibres in high performance and high strength concretes. It focuses on both laboratory and practical conditions. It compares different mixtures produced and processed in the laboratory and in the precast concrete company. Two methods are chosen in the paper to avoid fibre segregation. The first method is a suitable mix design considering the water/cement ratio and the amount of superplasticizer. The second method is the addition of synthetic fibres to the mixture while maintaining sufficient workability. The paper examines the consistence of each mixture

Abstract Although the deployment of carbon fibre structural components has enjoyed wide success on smaller aircraft, their acceptance on larger transport airframes is less sanguine – especially in the case of primary structure applications where the increasing out of plane loads found on the larger airframes have exposed the weak interlaminar properties of the layered material system. This has led to an overreliance on mechanical attachments to suppress these through thickness failures, which ultimately degrades structural performance and increases manufacturing costs.

Abstract:

Laser diagnostics techniques are widely used in experimental fluid mechanics. By far the most widely used systems for getting spatial velocity fields and turbulence data are laser Doppler anemometers (LDA). Further, in the cases of two-phase flows phase Doppler analysers (PDA) are typically chosen to measure the size and velocity of the droplets or bubbles. The PDA system is non-intrusive laser technique with high spatial and temporal resolution. Moreover, the PDA system does not require additional calibration as, for example, hot-wire anemometers.

On-line testing of high power electromagnetic devices is one of the most important problems of modern industrial metrology. In the paper, the results of experimental investigations of the electric field optical fiber sensor based on the electroluminescent phenomena are presented. The electro¬luminescent effect is observed in some composite semicon¬ductors, among others in zinc sulfide ZnS crystals. In our investigations, the used ZnS crystal was doped with copper Cu atoms as activators. The concentration of activator in the ZnS crystal was about 5.10-4 [g/g]. According to plans of investi¬gati

The relentless pressures of competition stemming from globalization, technological changes, etc., today are increasingly buffeting organizations. One of the pathways for companies to weather these storms is through unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit latent in its employees enabling these employees to carve out new paths, initiate new ventures, defy the status quo in their organizations, and break fresh ground. There is an increasing body of knowledge relating to unleashing entrepreneurial energies in large organizations referred to as corporate entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship. Intrapre

Abstract In this paper, the biomass graphene fibre industrialisation project is taken as the research object. Moreover, the development characteristics of the project in the field of industrial application and the financial status of the current company are taken into comprehensive consideration. The financial data from 2014 to 2018 are selected for quantitative analysis. First of all, this paper specifically divides the risk into four dimensions, depending upon the project’s financial status, which involves financing risk, investment risk, business risk, and other risks These are analyzed and

ABSTRACTThe paper presents the brief information on particular results of experimental studies dealing with the problems of properties of materials based on fibre-cement and fibre-concrete composites, which are being recently developed, tested and verified, to use them in the plated components of load-carrying structures of building constructions. The problems mentioned are solved in the co-operation with the company of the Research Institute of Building Materials Inc. (“VUSTAH a.s.”) at Brno city in the Czech Republic.

AbstractUsing Giddens (1984) structuration theory (ST), in this paper we illustrate how the efficiency‐driven approaches adopted by a large stated‐owned public company in Latin America (Latin American Multiutility Conglomerate [LAMC]) implicitly resulted in triggering a dam disaster with far‐reaching socio‐economic, environmental, and human consequences. Data for the study were derived through document analysis and conducting unstructured, semi‐structured, and email interviews. Our findings show that the internalization of efficiency as a corporate value at LAMC was further rationalized throug

Introduction: Subjective Maps as ‘Contact Zones’ Maps feature heavily in a variety of media; they appear in textbooks, on television, in print, and on the screens of our handheld devices. The production of cartographic texts is a process that is imbued with power relations and bound up with the production and reproduction of social life (Pinder 405). Mapping in
