Abstract:

The directional thermal conductivity of composite parts and moulds has a strong effect on out-of autoclave manufacturing operations. Limited thermal conductivity and variability data is available for composites made from carbon fibres that are widely used in mould and aircraft construction. A summary of experimental measurements and directional thermal conductivity models for carbon/epoxy composite materials is presented. Experimental data were collected for AS4 fibre unidirectional tape prepreg and T300 fibre unidirectional non-woven and plain weave textile reinforced composites. Lamination sequences included [0°]n, [0°/90°]n, [0°/90°/0°] n, [0°/60°/-60°]n and [0°/+45°/-45°/90°] n. Manufacturing methods included hybrid hand-layup and autoclave curing. Variability is quantified in all cases. Techniques for the predictive modeling of directional thermal conductivity are assessed. Classical lamination theory and models of conductivity for homogeneous assemblies of aligned fibres were used to determine thermal conductivity of tape prepreg and thermal properties of textile yarns. Unit cell simulations of textile based composites were performed to quantify the effect of changes in reinforcement geometry and configuration on directional thermal conductivity. A series of steady-state finite element models were developed for non-woven composites, unidirectional and cross-ply, and for plain weave textiles [0°/90°], [0°/90°/0°] n and [0°/+45°/-45°/90°]. Recommendations for the applicability of different modeling methods for the determination of thermal conductivity in composite materials are presented.

Abstract:

Transtibial stump volume can change dramatically postoperatively and jeopardise prosthetic fitting. Differences between individuals make it hard to give general recommendations of when to fit with a definitive prosthesis. Measuring the stump volume on every patient could solve this, but most methods for volume assessments are too complicated for clinical use.

The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy and intra- and interrater precision of a method to estimate stump volume from circumferential measurements. The method approximates the stump as a number of cut cones and the tip as a sphere segment.

Accuracy was evaluated theoretically on six scanned stump models in CAPOD software and manually on six stump models. Precision was evaluated by comparing measurements made by four CPOs on eight stumps. Measuring devices were a wooden rule and a metal circumference rule. The errors were estimated with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), where 0,85 was considered acceptable, and a clinical criterion that a volume error of ±5% was acceptable (5% corresponds to one stocking).

The method was accurate on all models in theory but accurate on only four models in reality. The ICC was 0,95-1,00 for intrarater precision but only 0,76 for interrater precision. Intra- and interrater precision was unsatisfying when using clinical criteria. Variations between estimated tip heights and circumferences were causing the errors.

The method needs to be developed and is not suitable for stumps with narrow ends. Using a longer rule (about 30 cm) with a set square end to assess tip heights is recommended to improve precision. Using a flexible measuring-tape (possible to disinfect) with a spring-loaded handle could improve precision of the circumferential measurements.

Abstract:

Denna rapport vill belysa kunders problem med att hitta passande storlek när de handlar kläder i en webbutik. Fokusområdet är att undersöka om det är möjligt för kunder att ta tillförlitliga kroppsmått eller plaggmått med måttband, för att välja passande klädstorlek vid e-handel. Först genomfördes en marknadsundersökning för att ta reda på hur klädföretag utformar sina storleksguider. Därefter utfördes en undersökning där 20 militärer deltog. De fick i uppgift att följa instruktioner för att ta kroppsmått på sig själva, ta samma mått på varandra och måtta av två utvalda plagg. Avslutningsvis fick de låta sig bli mätta av en designtekniker. Resultatet visade mycket stor spridning och flera av måtten hade ett spann från -6 cm till +6 cm i jämfört med att en professionell genomförde mätningen. En upptäckt var att vissa mätresultat blev bättre när någon annan än personen själv utförde kroppsmätningen. Deltagarna fick som avslut svara på några frågor. Hela 60 % av deltagarna i testgruppen trodde att en filminstruktion skulle ha underlättat mätningen. Slutsatsen är att det är viktigt att informera kunder hur de bör ta hjälp med att ta sina mått i användandet av storleksguiden, och att en instruktionsfilm kan underlätta mätningen. Ett komplement till kroppsmått kan vara plaggmått i storleksguiden.
The purpose of this report is to highlight customers' problems in finding the right size when shopping for clothes in an online store. The focus area is to investigate whether it is possible for customers to take accurate body measurements or garment measurements with a measuring tape in order to select appropriate clothing size in e-commerce. A market investigation on the internet was conducted to find out how clothing companies design their size guides. Then a study took place with 20 participant soldiers. They were asked to follow the instructions for taking body measurements of themselves, to take measurements of each other and to measure two selected garments. Finally, they where measured by a garment technologist. The result showed a very large difference, and several of the measures had a span from -6 cm to +6 cm. One finding was that some measurement results were improved when someone else than themselves performed the body measuring. Afterwards the participants were asked to answer a few questions. Around 60 % of the them believed that a film instruction could facilitate the body measuring. The conclusion is that it is important to inform the customers in the size guide that it is important to get help to get as accurate measurements as possible and that an instructional film can facilitate the measuring. A complement to body measurements can be garments measurements in the size guide.

Abstract:

White Island and Ruapehu are currently the most active volcanoes in New Zealand. During non-eruptive periods, intense quiescent degassing through fumaroles can occur. The current project studies the quiescent degassing plumes, including aerosol sampling on White Island and dispersion modelling of SO₂ and PM₁₀ from White Island and Ruapehu volcanoes. Aerosol sampling from fumaroles at the crater floor on White Island volcano was carried out on 9 February and 6 April 2005. The exposed filters were analysed for various anions and cations and the particle mass concentration and molar concentration determined. Major elemental constituents were sodium and chlorine (Na⁺: 413 µg m⁻³, Cl⁻: 1520 µg m⁻³), which show best correlation at both sampling sessions. Other ions detected, with little correlation, are Ca²⁺, PO₄³⁻ and to a certain extent Mg²⁺. Other constituents found, which cannot correlate explicitly to other ions, are K⁺, NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, and SO₄²⁻. SEM study of one exposed filter was performed and mainly NaCl particles could be distinguished due to their well-defined cubic shape. The Air Pollution Model (TAPM) was used for dispersion modelling of SO₂ (models 1-4) and PM₁₀ (models 5 and 6) from White Island and Ruapehu volcanoes. Annual modelling was performed using different parameters of emission rate, exit temperature and exit velocity. The resulting plume dispersions show relatively low concentrations at ground level ≤10 m), particularly for the models of PM₁₀ dispersion. TAPM calculated the highest SO₂ ground level concentrations with model 4, where the NES values of 350 and 570 µg m⁻³ were exceeded several times. The data was then used for detailed hazard assessment of urban population in the North Island. The meteorological data from annual modelling was used for model evaluation and compared with observation data from different weather stations by statistical calculations. Overall, TAPM performed well with most good and very good results. To evaluate SO₂ dispersion modelling, airborne plume measurements were carried out on 22 November 2006 by plume traverses at 3, 10 and 20 km. Although there is some variation, the calculated correlation coefficients indicate good model results for two plume traverses at 3 and 20 km and one plume traverse at 10 km. The meteorological data was also used for model evaluation, and the results indicate good model performance. TAPM is therefore suggested for future studies when more observation data are available to verify the calculated model data.

Abstract:

Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods.

Under the rapid flow of information generations, the information asymmetry between manufacturers and consumers is descending. Brand becomes one of the most significant product purchasing factor in consumer decisions. Increasing brand equity becomes one of the important goals of business. Recently, the Taiwan government agencies actively help SMEs to promote branding. Broadly speaking, there are two ways to measure brand equity. Firstly, using the historical financial data to measure brand equity might be the most popular way and it is adopted by most government agencies and brand organizations all over the world. Another method is from the marketing point of view. For example, Aaker and Keller built brand equity model by using brand perception and brand knowledge. This study aims to help companies explore the degree of utility of different product attributes from dissimilar group of consumers. By applying Hierarchical Bayes Conjoint Analysis, we could measure the brand equity. Based on the random effects model, we could infer different personal preference structure from the customer mind sets. By converting the degree of effectiveness between different brands, we can establish the inter-brand price premium. In this research, we use the credit card as the main product to construct brand equity of the bank.

Man-power resources have been the very important possessions of a business or an organization. In the competitive world, many companies or organizations have focused on man-power management and development of the individual or the teamwork man-power which is viewed to be the key of the promising future development. Understanding personal traits is the basic factor of man-power management. Therefore, the main concern lies in systematic theories and data to analyze and predict personal traits for further management “Enneagram Instrument” is an important instrument for exploring the personal traits. It can be used to not only analyze the individual traits and attributes but also offer positive suggestions in interpersonal communication “Inneractive Instrument” is the latest instrument used to explore personal traits. The basis of this theory is the instinct of human beings which represents the unique field of each individual. This theory can spy the personal field by means of different colors, which also can explain the distinguishing characteristics through the combination of the colors “Astrology Instrument” is the common method used to analyze and predict the personal traits. Though it is meaningful in statistics, it lacks firm theory in science. Hollalnd’s “vocational interest instrument” is the qualified questionnaire by practical tests and permitted by related field experts. This research topic is on using about using “Enneagram Instrument”, ”Inneractive Instrument” and “Astrology Instrument” to measure personal trait and explore the relationship among them. The objects of the study are the students in Lo-Tung Commercial Vocational High School. I sincerely expect the result of the research can offer the students, parents and teachers some certain help. The students can refer it in taking courses that are good for them. The parents can refer it to assist their children in making decisions. The teachers can refer it to guide their students in career developing. The result are as following: 1. “Vocational interest instrument” and “Enneagram Instrument” are distinguishingly related 2. “Vocational interest instrument” and “Astrology Instrument” are not related 3. “Vocational interest instrument” and “Astrology Instrument” are not related 4. “Enneagram Instrument” 、“Astrology Instrument” 、 “Inneractive Instrument” are not related
