Abstract:

AbstractThe road along the Óshlíð hillside in the West Fjords region of Iceland is one of the most hazardous roads in Iceland due to avalanches, rockfalls and debris flows. The road has little traffic, but nevertheless traffic accidents caused by the severe conditions at the site are common. A number of avalanche tracks are found on the hillside. In some of these tracks, avalanches occur more frequently than in others. When there is an avalanche threat, avalanches generally flow over many tracks in a short time. Monitoring vibrations in the tracks with the highest avalanche frequency can indicate when avalanches start flowing down the hillside in a snowstorm, and avalanche hazard can then be declared with the specific site indicated. The same methodology can be used for rockfalls and debris flows, which are strongly affected by weather conditions and typically occur in clusters. Based on this knowledge, a research project was initiated in February 1996 with the objective of developing an automatic system based on seismic measurements to detect and analyze avalanches on the Óshlíð hillside and to instantly send a warning to a control station.

Abstract:

Identification of factors that could influence where raptors are found breeding and their breeding performance is an integral part of ecological research. Presently, no studies have explored the effect of diet, weather, habitat or predators on nest site occupancy or breeding performance in little owls Athene noctua in England. This thesis describes the development of a video-based system for recording prey provisioning by little owls in boxes; investigates the role of habitat on breeding site occupancy; explores the influence of weather and habitat on breeding success in two study populations; and the effect of predators on nest box occupancy. The breeding and occupancy data were generated via established nest box projects located in Wiltshire (southern England) and Lancashire (north-west England). The video-based monitoring system recorded the delivery of soft- and hard-bodied prey items by parent birds to their offspring in nest boxes. The advantages of this system were low cost, portability and motion-triggered, infrared lit recording. Little owls were more likely to occupy a box surrounded by less woodland habitat and more grassland habitat in Wiltshire. Heavy precipitation in March delayed breeding in Lancashire, whilst the number of February wet days initially advanced egg laying in Wiltshire, but breeding was progressively delayed if they exceeded ten days. Early breeders were more likely to raise more young and there was no evidence that habitat or post-hatching weather influenced breeding success. In Wiltshire, at low box densities, there was a predominantly negative relationship between predator proximity and box occupancy, whilst at high box densities, there was an increasing probability of box occupancy when predators were further away. A box was more likely to be re-occupied in year t+ 1 if the breeding attempt in year t was successful and the nearest predator was further away. Together, these results demonstrate how weather, habitat and potential predators can influence breeding site occupancy and/or breeding success in little owls and that the effects may differ at the population level. The video-based monitoring system could be used to explore the influence of prey provisioning behaviours and nestling diet on little owl breeding success in future studies.

Abstract:

AbstractRecent academic and policy attention focuses on the “convergence” of gambling and games. Yet, looking at the social and historical context of gambling and games, we see they were always intertwined, with both reflecting broader social, economic and cultural conditions. Setting out the argument for this book, this chapter contends that what we see today, with phenomena like loot boxes, is an acceleration of this trend, amplified by the changing technologies which underpin both industries. Little attention has been paid to these broader social and historical processes, which limits our understanding of them and our anticipation of what might happen next. This book aims to act as a primer to place the “convergence” of gambling and gaming within its rightful historical context and encourages us to take a broader perspective when thinking about the impact of these developments.

Abstract:

This chapter provides four historical illustrations of black boxes. The first two originate from two intellectual giants in the field of biology. Darwin acknowledged the existence and significance of the mechanisms of inheritance. But he had no adequate proposal to offer. How could his explanations work so well, given that a crucial piece of the puzzle was missing? A similar shadow is cast on the work of Mendel and his early-twentieth-century followers, the so-called classical geneticists, who posited genes having little to no evidence of the nature, structure, or even the physical reality of these theoretical constructs. Another illustration is found in the elimination of mental states from the stimulus-response models advanced by psychological behaviorism. A final example comes from neoclassical economics, whose “as if” approach presupposes that the brain can be treated as a black box, essentially setting neuropsychological realism aside. The history of science, the chapter concludes, is essentially a history of black boxes.

Abstract:

Abstract Many computer packages are commercially available to design an object. AutoCAD is one of these packages which is commonly used in educational institutions to produce and modify technical drawings using personal computers. A customized Menu is developed to control the AutoCAD drawing editor through a digitizer tablet buttons. Tablet menu assigns AutoCAD commands to different locations of the digitizer tablet surface which is divided into four rectangular areas containing different sets of macros. Each macro contains a series of AutoCAD commands and parameters put together to perform an identified task. Tablet area one consists of 200 boxes used for blocks library applications. Over 54 block drawings of different mechanical drawings are established, when user clicks the digitizer at one of these boxes location, a selected mechanical item is inserted from the library onto the current drawing with suitable scale factors. The user can assemble mechanical components of different elements from this library within a short time and with little effort.

Abstract:

Numerical simulations are carried out for gap resonance problem between two side-by-side non-identical boxes. The linear potential model over-predicts the resonant amplitude in the narrow gap because it not only neglects the energy dissipation due to vortical motion, but also neglect the nonlinearity due to free surface. More relative energy are reflected with the increase of incident wave amplitude, leading to the decrease of relative resonant amplitude and relative energy dissipation in the narrow gap at resonant frequency. When the incident wave frequency is outside a little band to resonant frequency, relative energy dissipation becomes the dominant factor for the decrease of relative wave amplitude in the narrow gap with the increase of incident wave amplitudes. In a word, both the free surface nonlinearity and fluid viscosity play the important, but different, roles on wave resonances in the narrow gap.

Abstract:

Abstract Today’s VLSI devices are neither designed nor manufactured for space applications in which single event effects (SEE) issues are common. In addition, very little information about the internal schematic and usually nothing about the layout or netlist is available. Thus, they are practically black boxes for satellite manufacturers. On the other hand, such devices are crucial in driving the performance of spacecraft, especially smaller satellites. The only way to efficiently manage SEE in VLSI devices is to localize sensitive areas of the die, analyze the regions of interest, study potential mitigation techniques, and evaluate their efficiency. For the first time, all these activities can be performed using the same tool with a single test setup that enables a very efficient iterative process that reduce the evaluation time from months to days. In this paper, we will present the integration of a pulsed laser for SEE study into a laser probing, laser stimulation, and emission microscope system. Use of this system will be demonstrated on a commercial 8 bit microcontroller.

Abstract:

Abstract Packed stuffing boxes are sealing devices used in valves, compressors and pumps. The compression packing is the most critical element of this assembly. Packing rings are compressed axially to produce lateral contact pressures large enough to confine the processed fluid within the pressurized valve and avoids leakage to the outer boundary. Although popular, this old method of sealing has seen very limited analytical and numerical development. There is no standard design procedure for engineers to follow, and the existing standard test procedures are limited to qualification and quality control tests such as API622, 624, ISO-15848 1 and 2. As a result, structural integrity and leak tightness are rarely verified, and consequently 60 % of pressurized equipment requiring fugitive emissions compliance are valves that use this type of sealing device. The mechanical properties of compression packing materials are the main factors affecting fluid tightness at room and high temperatures and yet there is little or no data available either in manufacturer’s catalogues or in the literature. Packed stuffing box research is scant and focuses mostly on the distribution of the contact pressure between the stem and packing at room temperature without considering packing mechanical properties such as rigidity, thermal expansion, creep and aging. It is proposed, in this project, to measure the mechanical properties such as pressure transmission ratio, short-term creep deformation and thermal expansion coefficient of two packing materials at high temperature. This initiative will serve as a basis to launch a North American testing program to develop ASTM-like testing procedures for compression packing at high temperature.

Abstract:

HOST is an innovative vehicle concept suitable for the urban transport of both persons and goods. To lower the impact of mobility on the cities, cleaner vehicles are not enough: an integrated passenger and freight strategy must be adopted. Cleaner vehicles must be specifically designed for the purpose to be better than conventional ones under any aspect, including costs. To lower such costs and to start up the Low Polluting Vehicles (LPV) market the versatility of LPVs has to be enhanced. HOST aims at developing a fully versatile low-cost LPV concept. Versatility is achieved by making HOST vehicle modular and cost reduction is obtained by using the same vehicle for different purposes, simply changing different cabins on the same chassis. The main four tasks HOST is conceived for are: • Nocturne collective taxi; • Daytime car sharing services; • Daytime freight collection and distribution; • Nocturne garbage collection. The four mentioned services are not the only ones HOST may be used for, but are those for which it is specifically studied. Such choice is made for one very simple reason: all of the four tasks belong to the same family of “municipal services”. Using the same chassis to operate all the different services is feasible and can finally create the critical mass of final users, so to reach convenient prices. The four services chosen, two addressing passenger mobility and two addressing freight mobility, go all in the way of reducing city mobility impact. Car sharing and nocturne collective taxi systems, if integrated with public transport, can increase its attractiveness, pushing more people to use it. Freight pick-up and delivery and garbage collection need a low polluting alternative to be re-organised, so to become sustainable. The powertrain layout and the possibility to easily vary the platform main dimensions enable HOST to be equipped with very different bodyworks, which let the car manufacturer provides both private and public bodies, such as municipalities or urban mobility authorities. More in detail the energy system is all included in the HOST platform and it is conceived in shaped boxes, so that its modules become inter-exchangeable. A series hybrid configuration let HOST to be equipped with an internal combustion engine (ICE) coupled with an energy recovery system (batteries+supercapacitors), anyhow is already designed to utilise fuel cells (FC) powered by pure hydrogen just changing the energy module (and the tank), being this last the final purpose of the concept design. Thanks to these two solutions HOST is able to run as a zero emission vehicle for a limited period (ICE) or for the whole driving cycle (FC). A full drive-by-wire solution is adopted and the only mechanical connections between the cabin and the platform will be a specifically designed mechanical anchorage, these solutions will allow the easy installation/removal of any cabin. The vehicle has four wheel drive capability (4WD), thus featuring a good grip even on slippery roads. The four electric motors (one per wheel) allow an easy traction control, ensuring stability and safety. The chassis has a four wheel total steering (4WS) configuration, that enables the vehicle to rotate around its vertical axis as well as the to shift horizontally. These characteristics give HOST decisive advantages for the missions it has been conceived for. The 4WS capability gives to the vehicle easy manoeuvring in little streets in the cities centres and they are useful for the accurate positioning to be easily accessible by wheel chairs, during freight loading/unloading operations and while it runs as a garbage truck. Only a modular vehicle featuring the reusing concept can cover contemporarily all the selected services: one vehicle chassis with different sizes interchangeable energy generation modules and different bodies, depending on the service it is used for. Such concept, other than abating the environmental impact, will allow: • a reduction of costs: one chassis can fit several bodies compensating the higher cost of a low environmental impact energy and traction system; • a reduction of occupied space: the vehicle is always in use, night and day; • a reduction of waste materials, increasing their lifetime; • an increased life of vehicles, due to the possibility of changing bodies and energy generation modules; • traffic congestion reduction: using and reusing one vehicle for several services.
