Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a simple, reliable and swift load-flow solution method with a wide range of practical application. It is attractive for accurate or approximate off-and on-line calculations for routine and contingency purposes. It is applicable for networks of any size and can be executed effectively on computers. The method is a development on conventional load flow principle and its precise algorithm form has been determined to bring improvement to the conventional techniques. This paper presents a comparative study of the new constant Jacobian matrix load flow method built based on several conventional NR load flow methods. Assumptions are made so as to make the matrix constant, thus eliminating the need of calculating the matrix in every iteration. The proposed method exhibits better computation speed.

Purpose: to carry out a comparative analysis of refractive outcomes and features during preoperational calculation of the biplanar intraocular lens (IOL) with iridocapsular and iridovitreal fixation.Patients and methods. Study included the analysis IOL model RSP-3 implantation after phacoemulsification cataract surgery with subluxated lens grade 2. Analyzed 309 eyes of 304 patients with iridocapsular (n = 44) (ICF) and iridovitreal fixation (n = 265) (IVF). In both groups IOL power was calculated with use of A- constant (118.2) recommended by manufacturer. Mean period of examination was 6 months. To count optimized A-constant in both groups we used next data: IOL power and axial length before surgery, keratometry, spherical equivalent and IOL effective position during 6 months after surgery.Results. In group with ICF postoperative refraction was achieved ± 0,5 D in 10 cases (23%), in group IVF — in 29 cases (11%). Mean value of optimized A-constant for IOL model RSP-3 in groups with ICF and IVF were 117.2 ± 1.18 (114.0–120.8) and 116.9 ± 1,89 (109.6 до 123.6). There were no statistically significant difference between compared groups (p = 0.46).Conclusion. Use of A-constant recommended by manufacturer do not allow achieving target refraction in most cases. Mean values of biplanar IOL A-constant counted for ICF and IVF were 117,2 and 116,9 respectively, what should be taken into account during IOL power count, according to its fixation method.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper a new method for the dynamic analysis of three-dimensional mechanisms is presented. This method is based on the use, as mechanism coordinates, of Cartesian coordinates and components of some points and vectors rigidly attached to every element. With these coordinates the constraint equations are very easily formulated. A constant mass matrix has been derived for an element with two points and two vectors. Two simple and efficient methods to establish the dynamic equilibrium equations are presented. The use of the singular value decomposition is also included. Finally some comparative results are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The rise in multilingual surveys within the U.S. federal government and around the world has led to an increased need for assurance of comparable survey questions and resulting data. Cognitive interviewing (CI) is one method that allows us to examine how different language versions are interpreted and thus detects ways in which translated questions are not comparable. However, despite being a well-established question evaluation methodology, CI findings have been limited due to a lack of standards for analyzing interview data. The authors contend that cognitive interview findings can be strengthened by using existing qualitative analysis methods. In this article, the authors demonstrate how to conduct analysis of CI data using the constant comparative method and present the resulting findings.

Full textAbstract:
The use of cored wire - shielding gas (gas mixture) pair, during mechanized Metal Active Gas - MAG welding, leads to the formation of gas emissions (CO2, CO, NOx, NO, O3 etc) which is harmful for the welder’s health. The paper addresses the experimental method applied to establish the gas emissions developed during MAG welding when rutile cored wires (standard and low fume emissions) and metal powder cored wires (standard and low fume emissions) are used. Carbon dioxide and the shielding gas mixture are investigated, too. Four types of cored wires were comparatively analysed, when three wire speed values were applied. The experimental results have revealed that using rutilic cored wires and increasing the speed feed, an augmentation of CO (ppm), constant values of O2 (%), insignificant constant values of NO (ppm) and NOx (ppm) and absence of CO2 (%) are achieved. Using metal cored wires and increasing the speed feed, increase of CO (ppm), insignificant values of NO (ppm) and NOx (ppm), and constant values of CO2 (%) and O2 (%) are noticed.

For the sinusoidal maneuvering missile, its important but difficulty to distinguish the Base Course with Constant Velocity Model and the Tangential Arcs Model as the trajectory model. Their similarities and differences are studied to find out the selection method firstly, and their mathematical models are set up in the base-course coordinate system based on the existing references. Using the kinematical equations, the control complexities are derived. Then with the premise of same amplify, same max tangential velocity, same base-course pitch, their overloads and plane trajectories are compared, and drawn out some useful conclusions, such as TA model should be the prior selection for route planning, while BCCV model could be its approximate solution under certain conditions.

Abstract: This paper presents the comparative analysis of most commonly used Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques viz Open Circuit Voltage (OCV), Perturb and Observe (PnO) and Incremental Conductance (INC) methods that are capable of extracting maximum power from the PV generation system. The OCV technique is an indirect MPPT method that tracks the Maximum Power Point (MPP) using empirical data or mathematical expressions with numerical corrections and approximations. To operate PV panels at that point (MPP) there are many MPPT method in literature, FLC MPPT method was preferred in this study because, its rapid response to changing environmental conditions and not affecting by change of circuit parameters. The accuracy of FLC MPPT method used in this system to find MPP changes, from 94.8% to 99.4%. To charge a battery there are two traditional methods which are constant current (CC), and constant voltage (CV) methods. For fast charging with low loss constant current and voltage source is a need. One of the methods providing constant is PI control which used in this study.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, there has been an enormous growth in the literature that has focussed upon assets, in other words emphasising the positive attributes of both people and communities; these include children and young people’s developmental assets, community asset mapping and public health, all of which have generated a wide range of literature. Although there has been some consideration of assets within a child health context, this is limited and no literature has previously documented the mapping of children’s assets at an individual level. It has long been recognised that wellbeing is an integral aspect of health. Children’s wellbeing has been the focus of much concern at both national and international levels; this has resulted in the publication of key documents by prominent organisations, as well as the undertaking of a range of research. Despite this, studies have not previously sought to map the assets underpinning children’s wellbeing – this research has addressed this deficit. This study was supported by a theoretical framework that was specifically developed to guide the study. An ethnographic approach and a photo elicitation method were drawn upon to facilitate the gaze through the lens of ‘Activities that I Enjoy’; this in turn enabled the mapping and emergence of assets that underpin children’s wellbeing. Two primary schools in the south-east of England were used to recruit twenty Year 5 children (aged 9-11 years of age). The participants, ten boys and ten girls, were given disposable cameras and asked to take photographs of the activities that they enjoyed. The children’s photographs were integral to subsequent individual semi-structured interviews that sought to gain insight into children’s wellbeing. ii A constant comparative analysis technique facilitated the mapping of assets that underpinned the children’s wellbeing; this process revealed one overall Stabilising Asset as well as eight internal and three external assets. Whilst some of the assets have been previously recognised, others have not; in particular, the study revealed ‘When I Have Got Nothing To Do: Resourcefulness’ as an internal asset that has not formerly been articulated. All of the assets are presented within the ‘I’m Good’: Children’s Asset Wheel [CAW], an original model that provides a new and important insight as well as being an integral component of the initial guiding theoretical framework. As its contribution to knowledge, the study offered a number of key insights including: The presentation of an innovative guiding theoretical framework that not only has the potential to inform future research, but also professionals in relation to the practicalities of asset mapping. Secondly, the study developed and documented a detailed original approach to asset mapping at an individual level; thirdly, the research facilitated the design of the CAW which encapsulates the assets underpinning children’s wellbeing. Appropriate dissemination strategies have been initiated, and will continue, in order to facilitate the study’s contribution to the existing body of knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Within Australia, Vocational Education and Training (VET) encompasses the Technical and Further Education (TAFE) sector, private providers, community education and training, and work-based training. Additionally, some VET activities are embedded within the secondary school and university sectors. As the major provider of Government-funded vocational education and training, TAFE has undergone significant change since its establishment in the 1970's. Historically, TAFE has provided broader education and social opportunities for individuals beyond a narrower focus on the achievement of training outcomes for economic benefits. However, shifts in policy direction in 1980's and 1990's have seen the delineation between broader education and economic outcomes becoming less distinct. While this is perhaps true of all education sectors, it has potentially impacted more on TAFE than any other sector. This thesis investigated these impacts within the context of TAFE's social service and economic utility roles. This was undertaken by analysing seven seminal Commonwealth and Queensland documents and by analysing the findings of interviews with six senior executives within Queensland's Department of Employment and Training and TAFE. The key findings of this thesis indicate that TAFE Queensland continues to perform a number of functions or activities that can be associated with a social service role. However, the findings also indicate that, for TAFE Queensland, there has been a shift towards an economic utility role. Since the Kangan Report (1974), TAFE's role has become more focussed on meeting Queensland's economic and industry needs within a broad view that Australia needs a flexible workforce, qualified to industry standards of competence and able to compete in a globalised world.

Full textAbstract:
Many young women today are concerned about their sexual health; an increasing number of them consult gynaecologists, youth centres (YCs) and general practitioners with vulvar problems such as painful sensations associated with vaginal intercourse (VIC). It is known that some women continue to have VIC despite pain. Theoretically, repeated painful VIC might elicit vaginistic reactions, which may increase the pain and induce vicious circles. Since many clinicians and researchers nowadays notice that pain during VIC often starts at young age, it is important to investigate how pain during VIC starts and is maintained in younger populations. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate young women’s experiences of ideal sexual situations and pain during VIC. Women aged 13-22 years participated in our studies, which used both quantitative (study I and IV) and qualitative (study II and III) methods. For paper I, a questionnaire was developed and used in a YC sample (n=300); informants for paper II were selected from that sample to participate in qualitative interviews (n=16). Another qualitative interview study for paper III with a complimentary research question was conducted in a different YC sample (n=14). For paper IV, a questionnaire was developed based on the results from study I, II and III to test the hypotheses derived from study II in a sample of female high school students (n=1566). The findings revealed that 65% of the women reported pain related to first VIC. Among those who reported VIC during the previous month, 49% had experienced pain and/or discomfort during VIC during that same period (paper I). In paper IV, 47% of the women reported experience of pain and/or discomfort during VIC, and among those, 47% continued to have VIC, 22% feigned enjoyment, and 33% omitted telling the partner about their pain. In paper II, the women’s reasons for continuing to have VIC despite pain were: striving to reach their ideal image of a woman, characterized as always willing to have VIC; being perceptive of their partner’s sexual needs; and being able to satisfy their partner. In paper IV the hypotheses derived from study II were confirmed and showed, for example that a significantly higher proportion of women who continue to have VIC despite pain than women who did not had difficulty refusing sex when the partner wants it, felt inferior to the partner during sex, regarded the partner’s satisfaction as more important than their own, felt dissatisfaction with their sex life, and feigned enjoyment despite pain. In a multivariate model, continuing to have VIC despite pain was associated with feelings of being inferior to the partner during sex (adjusted OR 1.82; CI 1.10-3.02), dissatisfaction with their own sex lives (adjusted OR 1.76; CI 1.14-2.72) and feigning enjoyment while having pain (adjusted OR 7.45; CI 4.37-12.69). The major reason for continuing to have VIC was that the partner’s enjoyment was prioritized higher than their own (paper IV). In paper III, we found that women without pain during VIC also felt pressure from social norms and demands and had experienced partners “driving their own race”. However, they managed to some extent to resist these unequal gender norms because of their urge to experience pleasure. In conclusion, pain during VIC is a common complaint among young Swedish women, and a high proportion of them continue having VIC despite pain. The women’s notion of prioritizing the partners´ enjoyment before their own illustrates that unequal gender regimes affect young women’s (hetero)sexuality negatively.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses product form perception within the context of communication. The emphasis is on meanings attributed to product visual form, and more specifically the correspondence between messages designers intend users to receive and the messages that users actually receive. Four groupings of appearance-based product attributes are identified1) social values and positions
2) usability and interaction
3) visual qualities
and 4) personality characteristics. The study was driven by the main research question
&lsquo
do users perceive the same meaning from product appearance as designers intended, or is there a level of mismatch?&rsquo
. An empirical study was conducted using newly-designed Turkish seating furniture to investigate the relationship between designers&rsquo
and users&rsquo
ascription of meanings to products based on appearance, as a means to validate or refute opposing answers to the main research question. The results of the study reveal that there exist some considerable differences between designers&rsquo
intended messages and users&rsquo
perceived messages decoded from product visual form. The study suggests that designers perform less well at communicating product meanings related to two of the four groupings: usability and interaction, and personality characteristics. Accordingly, these are identified as priority areas for improved message transmission.

Full textAbstract:
Time-spectral solvers for partial differential equations (PDE) have been explored in various forms during the last few decades. The generalized weighted residual method (GWRM) is one such method with a high accuracy and efficiency. The GWRM has so far been implemented almost exclusively with a uniform grid of subdomains in the spatial domain. Recent research has indicated that an adaptive grid can yield a significant improvement in accuracy and efficiency of the GWRM. In this thesis a comparison is performed between a uniform grid and three different adaptive grid decomposition methods. Three initial- value PDEs are used to benchmark these methods; the one-dimensional Burger’s equation, the 4th order Fisher-Kolmogorov equation and the non-linear Schrödinger equation. It was found that the average adaptive algorithm is the most efficient out of the algorithms evaluated in this thesis. The average adaptive algorithms solution time was up to 1.6 times faster than the uniform algorithm when solving the Fisher-Kolmogorov equation and with an error up to a factor of 22.5 smaller than the uniform algorithm when solving the one- dimensional Burger’s equation. The uniform algorithm needed 25 spatial subdomains to get errors of the same order of magnitude as the average adaptive algorithm got using only 12 spatial subdomains. The average subdomain decomposition algorithm is a fast, robust and efficient method, which can be applied to a variety of different problems to further increase the efficiency of the GWRM.Tidsspektrala lösningar av partiella differential ekvationer (PDE) har utforskats på många olika sätt under de senaste årtiondena. Den generaliserade viktade residual metoden (GWRM) är en sådan metod som har uppnått hög noggrannhet och effektivitet. Metoden har hittills, nästan enbart, implementerats med en likformig subdomänsuppdelning i rumsdomänen. Nyligen utförd forskning indikerar att GWRM kan ge signifikant förbättrad precision och effektivitet om man implementerar adaptiva rums- och tidsdomäner. I detta examensarbete utförs en jämförelse mellan en likformig subdomänsuppdelning i rummet och tre olika adaptiva algoritmer för subdomänsuppdelning. Dessa algoritmer testas på tre olika PDE, endimensionella Burgers ekvation, fjärde ordningens Fisher-Kolmogorovs ekvation och den icke-linjära Schrödingerekvationen. Slutsatsen var att den medelvärdesbildande adaptiva algoritmen var den mest effektiva metoden. Den löste ekvationerna upp till 2.7 gånger snabbare än den likformiga algoritmen, med ett fel som var upp till 22.5 gånger mindre än den likformiga metodens fel. Den likformiga metoden behövde 25 rumsdomäner för att få en precision av samma potens som de adaptiva algoritmerna åstadkom med enbart 12 rumsdomäner. Den medelvärdesbildande algoritmens subdomänsuppdelning är snabb, robust och effektiv. Den kan appliceras på en mängd olika problem för att öka effektiviteten av GWRM.

Full textAbstract:
For steel structures, stability is a very important concept since many steel structures are governed by stability limit states. Therefore, stability of a structure should be assessed carefully considering all parameters that affect the stability of the structure. The most important of these parameters can be listed as geometric imperfections, member inelasticity and connection rigidity. Geometric imperfections and member inelasticity are taken into account with the stability method used in the design. At this point, the stability methods gain importance. The Direct Analysis Method, the default stability method in 2010 AISC Specification, is a new, more transparent and more straightforward method, which captures the real structure behavior better than Effective Length Method. In this thesis, a study has been conducted on the semi-rigid
steel frames to compare Direct Analysis Method and Effective Length Method and to investigate the effect of flexible connections to stability. Four frames are designed for different connection rigidities with stability methods existing in the 2010 AISC Specification: Direct Analysis Method and Effective Length Method. At the end,conclusions are drawn about the comparison of these two stability methods and the effect of semi-rigid connections to stability.

Full textAbstract:
The opto-electronic properties of amorphous hydrogenated silicon films (a-Si:H) produced by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) in a commercial reactor and hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) in a laboratory setup, are subject to light-soaking and annealing and investigated using transient photoconductivity (TPC) and constant photocurrent (CPM) measurements. As a result it is to be found thatthe HWCVD produced material is competitive with the commercially produced PECVD material and shows a tendency to be more resistant against light-soaking as long as significant contamination does not occur in the deposition process. Depth profiling by chemical etching and correlation of infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and CPM results are used to analyse the effect of oxygen and carbon contamination on the photoelectrical properties of a-Si:H material deposited using HWCVD method. It is shown how changing dissociation processes at the heated wire surface, surrounded by silane gas, affect the electronic and structural properties of the a-Si:H material produced. The optimum growth of a-Si:H material by HWCVD depends very much on the 'substrate to filament' distance, investigated by steady-state conductivity and CPM measurements. It is found that this has a big influence on the optoelectronic properties of the film and on the uniformity of film thickness, which is important for designing large area industrial HWCVD deposition units. The influence of the silane content (SC) (silane concentration in hydrogen) during the deposition process, in HWCVD and PECVD technique, on the film properties were investigated using CPM and FTIR measurement methods. From correlation between CPM and FTIR results it is shown that for low silane content (< 10%) the structure of the resulting material is predominately microcrystalline (pc-Si:H) and amorphous for highsilane content. Proton irradiation effects on undoped a-Si:H and pc-Si:H samples from PECVD and HWCVD deposition method were investigated by using steady-state photoconductivity and CPM experimental methods before and after 100 MeV proton irradiation. In contrast to 1 MeV electron irradiation, where major changes in the density of states were reported, the proton irradiation did not have any observable effect on the optoelectronic properties of the samples investigated. As a major part of this thesis the validity and precision of the constant photocurrent method - CPM, as a means to determine the density of states in thin films, is subject to investigation. In the past clear differences have been observed in the absorption coefficient spectrum of a-Si:H between DC- and AC-CPM measurements. In this thesis an explanation for these differences will be proposed and elaborated. DC-CPM measurement gives a consistently higher value for the absorption coefficient a at low photon energies. A small-signal analysis of the photoconductive response to modulated sub-gap illuminationreveals low frequency poles associated with thermal emission processes, which explains this discrepancy. Computer simulation demonstrates that while DC-CPM, which includes these transitions, gives a more accurate value for absorption, AC-CPM provides a more accurate means of determining the distribution of occupied gap-states. Further it is shown that combining DC and AC methods allows determination of the distribution of deep unoccupied gap-states. These concepts are applied to experimental results for severalundoped a-Si:H films. The CPM method has mainly been applied to measurements on thin film silicon materials. However, in a study on 'non-silicon' materials (i.e. CdTe, GaAs, CdSe & CdS2 ) the applicability of the CPM method to these photoconductive materials is demonstrated in this work.

Full textAbstract:
This study emerged from an awareness of the critical role that learning plays within social movements and from a belief that adult education can learn much from examining the learning activities of the Women's Movement. Using a comparative approach, the similarities and differences between feminist consciousness raising and Freire's conscientization method were explored. The process of analysis involved studying Freire's written works available in English and the literature resources available through the University of British Columbia library on feminist consciousness raising. The comparison began with presentation of the historical, political, social, and economic factors which led to the development of consciousness raising and conscientization. This included an examination of the historical background of Brazil, of biographical information on Freire, and of the events which led to the development of Freire's conscientization method. In a similar way, this study explored the historical background of the Women's Movement, with particular emphasis on its re-emergence during the sixties and those factors which led to the creation of consciousness raising groups. The next step in the analysis was the comparison of consciousness raising and conscientization using the following categories: the themes or content within each process, the nature of the interaction, the presence and role of teachers or coordinators, the phases in each process, and the changes in consciousness expected as a result of each process. The study concluded with discussion of the differences between these two processes, which appear to be closely linked to the different contexts and factors, such as the different kinds of oppression being fought against, which led to the development of each learning activity. As the similarities were identified, it became evident that a number of important elements were common to both learning activities despite the very different contexts. These common elements were presented as principles of the consciousness raising method found within liberating social movements. Comparing these two learning activities indicated the liberating power of allowing people to tell their own story. Implications for practice focused on the need for a contextual sensitivity when working with or studying the learning activities of social movements. It was argued that awareness of the similarities (suggested principles) and differences between consciousness raising and conscientization could prevent application of either method as simply recipes for liberation. Many recommendations were made for further research which stressed the utility of comparative analysis for continuing examination of learning within social movements. Recommendations were made for examination of the relationship between the nature of learning activities and the kind of oppression, either gender-based or class-based. Further collaboration between the Women's Movement and adult education was suggested.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Leakage losses and overall increased power dissipation in the microprocessor are causing significant thermal, mechanical, and reliability problems. Aside from the issue of cooling chip hot spots in order to reduce stress-inducing thermal gradients, the traditional challenge of quelling overall operating temperatures remains. Conventional cooling methods are reaching their practical limits and new methods of lowering the operating temperature of microprocessors are being explored. Microfluidics-based cooling schemes are one approach being considered. Implementation of microchannels for forced convection at the chip level shows much promise, as the effective heat transfer surface area and attainable heat transfer coefficient are very favorable. A major design limitation to such an implementation is the pressure developed with such micro-flows, and the stresses that could result. In this study, multiple discrete microchannel configurations are analyzed computationally and compared in a cooling capability optimization sense, while total pressure drop across the flows is carefully considered. A single cooling channel over an energy source is split into two smaller channels, and so on, while total pressure drop is maintained constant, and specified such that all flows remain in the laminar regime. It is shown that for the configurations analyzed, there exists a definitive optimum cooling scheme. In addition, the effects of variation of channel height for the initially-determined optimum scheme are studied. It is shown that a slimmer design may be implemented with very little effect on cooling capability.

Full textAbstract:
The total cost to purchase and operate a gas turbine engine is indeed quite substantial. Out of this, the biggest portion is the operating cost. In order to keep it as low as possible, a prime concern is to keep temperatures at the entry of the turbine at low levels. Therefore the effect of engine degradations should be understood and analysed, as well as the impact of the major hot section failure modes. This paper examines an alternative cruising method of constant speed for the Hercules C-130H, powered by the Alison T56-A-15 turboprop engine. This study is being done on a comparative basis to the constant power cruising method, which is applied until now. It is concerning the life savings deduced out of creep. Moreover, the effect of several engine degradations on engine life, for both constant speed and constant power cruising methods has been investigated.

Full textAbstract:
It is common practice to analyze the basemat using soil springs to represent the supporting soil media. A uniformly loaded mat foundation analyzed for a uniform spring constant will indicate uniform deflection. However, in reality, the behavior of the basemat is influenced by the flexibility of the supporting soil media. The settlement profiles of the basemat demonstrate smaller displacements at the edge and larger displacements toward the center. The spring constants used in the analysis should also consider stiffness effect of superstructure and the effect due to loading pattern. For APR1400 Nuclear Power Plant, the mat foundation of the Reactor Containment Building and the Auxiliary Building is a common reinforced concrete mat covering an area approximately 12,210 square meter (110 m × 111 m) with a thickness of 3.05 m in the Auxiliary Building area and various thicknesses from 3.35 m to 10.06 m in the Reactor Containment Building area. In this study, the soil layers are directly modeled into the structural analysis model using finite/infinite solid elements to represent the soil properties and then the analysis results are compared with the analysis using spring constants by iterative method, and uniform spring constant by conventional method. The results of analysis using the Direct Soil Model are similar to the results calculated by the Iterative Soil Spring Model, but have wide variance with the results calculated by the Uniform Soil Spring Model.

Full textAbstract:
The accuracy and quality of neutron-physical calculations of the active core characteristics depend heavily on the few-group constant preparation procedure. The method, based on using average in the fuel assembly fuel and coolant parameters is currently used for preparing macroscopic cross-sections. The question is what impact would considering the uneven distribution of those parameters, made on the few-group constant preparation stage exert on further analysis of the reactor facility behavior during steady-state and transients operation. The study carries out comparative analysis of the neutron-physical characteristics of the VVER-1000 core using the standard approach and using distributed in the fuel assembly fuel and coolant parameters while preparing few-group constants. It’s revealed that the fuel pellet and coolant radial temperature distributions affect the multiplication factor and temperature reactivity effect values.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper reports a comprehensive study on the numerical simulation of Taylor flow in microchannels by the phase field method. Additionally, a comparative study was also performed against an alternative volume of fluid model based on which the phase field method was found to be more advantageous in key aspects such as the absence of unphysical interfacial pressure oscillations and the ability to account for variations in the surface tension force and thus predict several bubble lengths under constant flow conditions while observing the physics of homogeneous two-phase flow. Different bubble formation mechanisms were simulated and compared against experimental findings in literature. The simulation of a thin liquid film at the channel wall was found to be limitation of most works pertaining to Taylor flow, including the present. This was ascribed to be more likely due to limited dimensional and spatial resolution as well as inaccurate contact angle dynamics rather than limitations of the modeling approach itself. The effect of wall adhesion was studied with respect to the flow and pressure field in the channel. A validation of the model was achieved through a favorable comparison of the numerically predicted gas void fraction and bubble lengths with existing models and correlations. On the whole, the phase field method was concluded to have improved predictive accuracy with respect to certain aspects as compared to conventional multiphase flow models.

Full textAbstract:
Wave breaking forces acting on the nearshore structures, such as the underwater observation tower, are subject to breaking wave forces which leads to response behavior that is characteristically nonlinear. Most of the existing underwater observation towers in Japan were constructed in the wave breaking zone as this zone is abundant with underwater life and presents a fantastic under water scene. Convenient access to the observation tower is typically connected by a bridge connecting the tower to an onshore site. This study reported here presents the develop a structural analysis procedure for an underwater observation tower subject to the breaking wave forces using finite element analysis. The tower structure consists of vertical circular cylindrical form that may be tapered in some cases. A procedure for estimating the breaking wave forces and transferring the appropriate hydrodynamic pressure distribution to each nodal point in the finite element model is presented and discussed. The ratio between the total diffraction wave forces and total breaking wave forces was investigated, and then the breaking wave pressure distribution acting on the structural surface was studied. Using that ratio obtained through the comparative studies, the dynamic analysis was conducted in the various wave periods for a constant water depth. After summarizing these calculation results, an analytic method on underwater observation tower due to wave breaking forces was presented.

In ASME 2010 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. ASMEDC, 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2010-39050.
Full textAbstract:
The use of high speed radial impellers is very common in fans for industrial applications. The most common design case is the one with constant speed. In that case, one assigns the corresponding value to the speed n, hence the speed no longer matters in the further design procedure: it is given and it is constant. However, in many cases the speed is not constant, since it is governed by the torque-speed characteristic of the driving motor. In such a case it is necessary to consider the motor characteristic already at the design stage. In the present work a design method was developed in order to perfectly match the torque-speed characteristic of the radial impeller to the torque-speed characteristic of the driving motor. In such a way it is possible to design an impeller-motor unit with maximum efficiency. The extended impeller mean-line-design formulas presented in Epple [6] were complemented with the equations describing the motor torque-speed-characteristic. Both sets of equations where combined and solved in order to achieve a prescribed operating range at a maximum efficiency. In order to validate the design method, it was applied to an industrial fan which should be improved. That radial fan with spiral casing consisted of the main radial fan and a motor cooling axial fan at the other end of the shaft. This later fan was rotating at a too low speed leading to cooling problems of the motor. Hence, a new fan had to be designed which had to deliver the same hydraulic performance but at higher rotating speeds. This had to be done, however, on the given motor. That could only be done when properly designing an impeller matching its torque-speed characteristic to the torque-speed characteristic of the motor: it was an excellent task to validate the combined impeller-motor design procedure. Under these constrains six designs where performed and validated with a commercial CFD solver. The three best designs according to the CFD results were built as prototypes and measured at a standard test rig. The best design delivered the prescribed head-flow characteristic at an even improved hydraulic efficiency. The higher speed was also properly achieved. The design procedure is described and explained in detail and a detailed CFD analysis is presented, complemented by the experimental data obtained at the test rig. A final comparative analysis of the combined impeller-motor design method, the CFD analysis and the measurements is presented.

Abstract Two time-frequency signal analysis methods, based on results of Continuous Wavelet Transform, and the Short Time Fourier Transform are compare for the purpose of on-line health monitoring application in systems subjected to random loads. A classic example with a simple signal is used to differentiate the characteristics of the two transforms suggesting the possible preference of a Wavelet Transform based approach over the Short Time Fourier Transform. Another example including a single degree of freedom system subjected to random loads proves how the inherent variable window capabilities on the Wavelet Transform perform better than the constant window length nature of the Short Time Fourier Transform for on-line health monitoring application.

Full textAbstract:
Future coal-fired steam turbines promise increased efficiency and low emissions. However, this comes at the expense of increased thermal load from higher inlet steam temperatures and pressures leading to severe creep that significantly influences the sealing behavior and high temperature strength of bolted flange-seal couplings. Flanges with different thicknesses were employed for a comparative study. The important stress/creep values in the flanges and U-type seals had been obtained for variations in flange thickness and bolt relaxation whilst maintaining other leading parameters constant. The variation of contact stresses due to creep deformation plays an important role in achieving a leak proof sealing. In this paper, a two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) of bolted flange-seal couplings has been carried out by taking the relaxation of bolt stress under full-loading turbine service. The creep strength of flanges and U-type seals are investigated by Cocks-Ashby (C-A) equivalent strain method. The multiaxial state of stresses is considered in this method by using C-A multiaxial coefficient. According to ASME allowable creep limit, the C-A equivalent strains of three flange-seal couplings are evaluated and compared. Furthermore, based on the results of contact stresses, the creep behavior of U-type seals is analyzed varying flange thickness. Finally, analysis shows that the thinner flange-seal coupling has larger long-term contact stress, while the U-type seal with the thicker flange has the least creep strength.

Full textAbstract:
Gas turbine rotors made of Ni-base superalloys were sometimes found to have cracks at the dovetail of the first and second stage wheel. In order to maintain the reliability of gas turbine rotors over the long term, in addition to the application of countermeasures such as the shot-peening process, it is essential to confirm the characteristics of crack initiation mechanisms and to predict the possibility of new cracking. In this paper, first, the case study of crack initiation concerning a wheel dovetail crack has been carried out. Second, to reveal the characteristics of the crack, comparative evaluation between the actual crack and various mechanical fracture samples were conducted by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) method which can analyze crystallographic misorientation. As a result, it was found that even in relatively low temperatures, Inconel® Alloy 706 is subjected to brittle grain boundary oxidation when under constant high stress, i.e. a similar phenomenon to stress accelerated grain boundary oxidation (SAGBO), so called hold-time cracking (HTC).

Full textAbstract:
In the article we interpret discrete and continuous message as interrupted and constant, limited and continual text, which has specific features and a number of differences between traditional (one-dimensional) text and hypertext (multidimensional). The purpose of this study is to define the concept of “hypertext”, consideration of its characteristics and features of the structure, similarities and differences with the traditional text, including the message in the media and communication. To achieve the goal of the study, we used a number of methods typical of journalism. Empirical analysis enabled a generalized description of the subject of study, which allowed to know it as a phenomenon. With the help of generalization the characteristic and specific regularities and principles of hypertext were studied. The system method is used to identify the dependence of each element of hypertext on its place in the text system as a whole. The retrospective method helped to understand the preconditions for the emergence of hypertext, to trace the dynamics of its development. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) made it possible to formulate the conclusions of the study. Thanks to hypertext and the hypertext systems, the concept of virtual reality has gained tangible meaning. In hypertext space, virtuality organically complements reality. The state of virtuality, in this case, becomes the concept of hyperreality, and all this merges into a single whole in the space of computer text. Due to its volume and multidimensionality, hypertext can arouse scientific interest as an interdisciplinary discipline. In today’s world, the phenomenon of hypertext has been the subject of numerous discussions, conferences and research in the field of social communications, linguistics and psychology. Today, a significant number of organizations conduct large-scale research based on the concepts of hypertext associations and associative navigation.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the peculiarities of the media content shaping and transformation in the convergent dimension of cross-media, taking into account the possibilities of augmented reality. With the help of the principles of objectivity, complexity and reliability in scientific research, a number of general scientific and special methods are used: method of analysis, synthesis, generalization, method of monitoring, observation, problem-thematic, typological and discursive methods. According to the form of information presentation, such types of media content as visual, audio, verbal and combined are defined and characterized. The most important in journalism is verbal content, it is the one that carries the main information load. The dynamic development of converged media leads to the dominance of image and video content; the likelihood of increasing the secondary content of the text increases. Given the market situation, the effective information product is a combined content that combines text with images, spreadsheets with video, animation with infographics, etc. Increasing number of new media are using applications and website platforms to interact with recipients. To proceed, the peculiarities of the new content of new media with the involvement of augmented reality are determined. Examples of successful interactive communication between recipients, the leading news agencies and commercial structures are provided. The conditions for effective use of VR / AR-technologies in the media content of new media, the involvement of viewers in changing stories with augmented reality are determined. The so-called immersive effect with the use of VR / AR-technologies involves complete immersion, immersion of the interested audience in the essence of the event being relayed. This interaction can be achieved through different types of VR video interactivity. One of the most important results of using VR content is the spatio-temporal and emotional immersion of viewers in the plot. The recipient turns from an external observer into an internal one; but his constant participation requires that the user preferences are taken into account. Factors such as satisfaction, positive reinforcement, empathy, and value influence the choice of VR / AR content by viewers.

Full textAbstract:
The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.
