Abstract:
Findings from a multi-component 4-H camp marketing and enrollment study of Ohio 4-H camps are highlighted. Significant influencers on the camp enrollment decision (parents, other adults, peers, siblings, and the respective camper) are evaluated as well as the effectiveness of various marketing techniques. The data found in this study indicates that the decision to enroll in camp is most influenced by the respective 4-H camper; however parents are also a strong factor in the choice to participate in 4-H camps. Alumni parents report significantly higher influence in the camp enrollment decision than those parents who are not alumni of 4-H. Personal methods of promoting camps were rated the most effective in reaching potential camp audiences.

Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of the study was to investigate the respective influences of price and country of origin as extrinsic cues on consumer evaluations of wine quality when all intrinsic cues are experienced through sensory perception. Taste testing experiments were conducted (N = 263) using Chardonnay as the test product in a 3 (country of origin, COO) × 3 (price) × 3 (acid level) conjoint analysis fractional factorial design. Price and COO were both found to be more important contributors to perception of wine quality than taste. Reliance on extrinsic cues was found to remain extremely robust even when all intrinsic cues were available through sensory experience for respondent evaluation. The research demonstrated that even when evaluating a product through consumption, consumer belief in the price/value schema dominates quality assessment. These findings mean that marketers cannot assume that intrinsic product attributes, even when experienced, will be weighted and interpreted accurately by consumers. The research significantly advances our understanding of consumers' use of extrinsic cues (price and COO specifically), and their respective influence in their determination of both expected and experienced quality.

Abstract:
1. The influences of age and weaning on muscle protein synthesis were studied in vivo, by injecting a large dose of [3H]valine into 1-, 5- and 8-week-old suckling or 8-week-old weaned lambs. 2. The fractional rates of protein synthesis, in red- and white-fibre-type skeletal muscles or striated and smooth visceral muscles, were in 8-week-old suckling animals 24-37% of their values at 1 week of age. This developmental decline was related to decreased capacities for protein synthesis, i.e. RNA/protein ratios. 3. At 8 weeks of age, suckling and weaned lambs had similar fractional synthesis rates, capacities for protein synthesis and efficiencies of protein synthesis (i.e. rates of protein synthesis relative to RNA) in skeletal muscles. 4. In contrast, visceral-muscle fractional synthesis rates were lower in 8-week-old suckling lambs than in weaned animals, owing to decreased efficiencies of protein synthesis. It was concluded that developmental factors and the change to a solid diet, or weaning in itself, or both, affect differently skeletal and visceral muscle protein synthesis in the immature lamb.

Abstract:
In this study, the Botswanan currency Pula is analyzed and factors affecting the exchange rate between the Pula and the US Dollar are examined. Using a multiple linear regression analysis and the Cochrane-Orcutt transformation, an explanatory model is developed. Factors are chosen based on economic theory and are evaluated empirically through statistical methods. The final model shows that The Botswana Stock Index, The Real Interest Rate Spread between Botswana and USA, Corruption Index, Business Confidence Index, Diamond Price Index and Unemployment Rate, are relevant and significant in determining changes in the exchange rate. Some factors were significant, but had to be removed from the model due to multicollinearity.
I den här studien analyseras den botswanska valutan Pula och faktorer som påverkar den. Med hjälp av multipel linjär regression och Cochrane-Orcutt-transformation, utvecklas en modell. Faktorer väljs utifrån ekonomisk teori och utvärderas empiriskt genom statistiska metoder. Den slutgiltiga modellen visar att Botswanas aktieindex, skillnaden i realränta mellan Botswana och USA, korruptionsindex, index för affärsförtroende, diamantprisindex och arbetslöshet är relevanta och väsentliga för att bestämma förändringar i växelkursen. Vissa faktorer var signifikanta, men behövde avlägsnas från modellen på grund av multikollinearitet.

Part 1 deals with traditional chinese stylistic (tcs). It contains four chapters devoted respectively to the different chinese ways of looking at the word << stylistic >>, to the history of tcs, the means of expression used in the tcs, and to the definitions of the chinese words : xiuxi, yuti, and fengge. In part 2 (pp. 71 169) one analyses the typical means of expression in the tcs present in the novels of lu wenfu and a cheng. Part 3 (pp. 170 - 207) observes the westernisation of the grammar of modern chinese since may 4, 1919 and considers the influence of western history trends. Part 4 (pp. 208 - 306) is devoted to the writers whose style is influenced by foreign languages, especially english and french : four poets of the trend of << obscure poetry>> (bei dao, gu cheng, jiang he) in the first chapter and to wang meng, a novelist of the << trend of the consciousness >> in the second one. Analysing from a linguistic point of view the style of several well-known contemporary chinese writers, one can ubdoubtedly observe the two following contrary trends in the literature of the 1980s : the use of tcs and the use of foreign constructions in the chinese grammar

Dissertação de mestrado em Psicopatologia e Psicologia Clínica
Esta tese faz parte de um trabalho mais vasto de um grupo de Mestrado em Psicopatologia e Psicologia Clínica, liderado pelo Prof. Eurico Figueiredo, que se constitui com o objectivo de estudar os Valores Socais dos jovens universitários e seus progenitores nas diferentes regiões do país, por um lado e , por outro, realizar um estudo a nível nacional. Assim, este trabalho incidiu sobre a região do Minho, em que se procurou identificar os Valores Sociais dos Jovens da Universidade do Minho e seus progenitores, a partir de um inquérito elaborado para esse fim, aplicado durante a frequência das aulas na Universidade e em que era fornecido aos estudantes mais dois questionários para entregar aos respectivos progenitores. A análise de resultados permitiu a observação de diferenças significativas entre filhos e pais, nomeadamente a nível da concepção da família e da sexualidade, da concepção do trabalho profissional e do trabalho feminino. Os jovens apresentam uma visão mais moderna de família em que, no casamento, homem e mulher possuem papéis equivalentes e em que o trabalho feminino é valorizado da mesma forma que o do homem. Verificou-se que os jovens investem mais valores pós-materialistas do que os seus progenitores, embora persistam ainda nesta juventude valores materialistas, sendo esta, provavelmente, uma geração de transição entre materialismo e pós-materialismo. Observaram-se ainda diferenças entre sexos, em que as raparigas parecem estar na linha da frente em termos de mudança, e entre as amostras regional e nacional (sendo as diferenças mais significativas nos jovens do que nos progenitores). Assim, por um lado, a concepção de família e de sexualidade é mais moderna nos jovens do Minho (acontecendo o inverso em relação aos progenitores) e, por outro, a transição para o pós-materialismo parece estar a processar-se de modo diferente nos jovens da Universidade do Minho e nos das Universidades de todo o país - isto é, surgem diferentes pesos de materialismo e pós-materialismo em áreas distintas.

Abstract:
In recent years, the consequences of global warming have increased the discussion about the climate impact caused by humans and the fossil emissions. Sweden has decided to reduce the negative climate impact with a zero vision for the fossil carbon dioxide emissions in year 2045. In order to achieve this, great efforts and changes are needed both in the inhabitants' way of living but primarily in the base industry. The major cause is the use of fossil coal, which generates fossil carbon dioxide in the steel industry in particular. The fossil coal is added to the blast furnace in the steel process in forms of coke and coal, which reduces the iron and emits heat. The quality of the coke is important as it functions reducing agent, provides a mechanical support to the bed and enables the gas flow up through the blast furnace and enables dissolution of carbon in hot metal. Also, coke supplies energy from exothermic reactions between carbon and carbon dioxide that takes part in the blast furnace and the energy are further used for the heating and melting of the cold iron pellets. Due to these factors, the blast furnace process is dependent on coke for its function, which means that the entire process must be replaced if the steel production should work without fossil coal. However, there are many studies that have been done on how to replace some of the fossil coal with bio-coal, which is produced from biomass. If some of the fossil coal could be replaced by some bio-coal, this would mean that fossil carbon dioxide emissions would decrease and lead to a reduced climate impact. The process would still generate carbon dioxide, but on the other hand, a cycle would be formed because when biomass is grown, carbon dioxide is taken up, e.g. by the trees grown for this purpose. However, bio-coal does not have the same properties as fossil coal, which in turn affects the quality of the coke. Bio-coke is more reactive and more porous than fossil coke. In order to be able to replace fossil coke with bio-coke, it is likely necessary to pre-treat the biocoal before it replaces part of the fossil coal in the coke production. Bio-coal contains ash that acts as an internal catalyst. One theory is that if it is possible to produce a bio-coal with ash-free carbon structure, it can be used in the production of coke without having such a great effect on the coke quality. In this project, the ash's impact on the properties of bio-coal in coke was studied. Previous studies have shown that leaching is an effective method for removing ash from bio-coal. It can be leached in three different ways, either with water, weak acid or acid. However, it has been found that acid leaching has a certain impact on the carbon structure itself. For this reason, two types of bio-coal, torrefied Grot (forest residue) and torrefied sawdust were selected, which were leached both with water but also with weak acid in order to achieve an ash-reduced carbon structure. The acid selected was acetic acid, as it has been tested for similar purposes in previous studies. The leaching efficiency was evaluated by analysing the leachate with ICP-OES after leaching. According to the result, a significant part of the ash had been leached out, but the leaching with weak acid was much more effective than water leaching. To ensure that the carbon structure was not altered, light-optical microscopy was made which showed that the structure was intact. However, it was not possible to determine whether the pore sizes were changed after leaching and it is therefore relevant to investigate this further. Moreover, the leached II bio-coal replaced 5% of the fossil coal in the coal mixture for coke making. In addition to this, coke was also made with only the ash from the two bio-coals to see what effect the ash has on the coke quality. The result that was obtained from the TGA showed that the ash had a low impact on the reactivity of the coke. However, the coal structure of the coke had a great impact on the reactivity behaviour.

Abstract:
This thesis compares how Christian thinkers John Chrysostom (349-407 CE) and Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560 CE) understood the theological concept of justification as found in Paul’s epistle to the Romans, and how their respective intellectual environments influenced their understandings of justification. Through detailed analysis of how Chrysostom and Melanchthon defined the theological concepts underlying their views of justification, it is demonstrated that, while their descriptions of justification often seem amicable, these apparent similarities are superficial. Their primary disagreement rests in their understandings of righteousness, which, for Chrysostom, was the outcome of a synergistic process wherein the faithful Christian gradually became, in actuality, more righteous by cooperating with the will and grace of God. Furthermore, Chrysostom viewed righteousness as a distinct stages in one’s struggle for salvation that followed one’s justification. Melanchthon rejected the notion that human beings themselves could become righteous, instead positing that faithful Christians are justified and simultaneously declared righteous by God based solely on their trust in the saving power of Christ’s atoning death.

Abstract:
Ce travail de recherche porte sur l’influence de l’apprentissage de l’anglais sur l’apprentissage du français chez les enfants arabophones au niveau morphosyntaxique et phonétique. Nous avons posé comme hypothèse générale dans notre travail qu’il y a une influence de la langue maternelle ou de l’apprentissage de la première langue étrangère (LE1) sur l’apprentissage de la deuxième langue étrangère (LE2). Notre objectif dans ce travail a été plus précisément d’étudier les interactions linguistiques entre la langue maternelle d’enfants arabophones, l’anglais (LE1) apprise à partir de 6 ans et le français (LE2) apprise à partir de 12 ans. Pour vérifier les problèmes d’interférences entre les langues étudiées, nous avons d’abord, réalisé un test de morphosyntaxe. Ce test a pour objectif d’évaluer la compréhension de phrases présentant des structures syntaxiques variées et de complexité croissante auprès d’enfants arabophones syriens âgés de 8 à 14 ans. Ensuite, nous avons réalisé deux test de perception en anglais et en français afin d’étudier les phénomènes d’interférences concernant la perception des contrastes vocaliques dans chacune des deux langues. Nos résultats ont montré que l’âge jouait un rôle déterminant dans l’apprentissage d’une LE car les adolescents de 14 ans obtiennent de meilleurs résultats que les enfants plus jeunes. Nous avons également confirmé le rôle facilitateur de l’apprentissage de l’anglais sur le français en considérant les deux langues comme deux langues indo-européennes qui partagent des caractéristiques structurales et lexicales similaires. En ce qui concerne les tests de perception, les résultats montrent que les enfants arabophones discriminent mieux les contrastes vocaliques de l’anglais plus qu’en français en raison du fait qu’ils ont commencé l’apprentissage de l’anglais plus tôt (à l’âge de 6 ans) tandis qu’ils ont commencé à apprendre le français à l’âge de 12 ans. Enfin, les enfants arabophones ont tendance à rapprocher les sons du français des sons de l’arabe ou de l’anglais, ce qui montre un effet de crible phonologique
This research work focuses on the influence of learning English as a foreign language on learning French as a foreign language. This influence is studied in Arabic-speaking children at the morphosyntactic and phonetic levels. We hypothesize there is an influence of the native language or of the first foreign language on learning of the second foreign language. More specifically, our objective in this doctoral thesis was to study linguistic interactions between the mother tongue, the English language learned starting from the age of 6 and the French language learned from the age of 12, in Arabic speaking children aged 8 to 14. The interference between the languages studied was first assessed by means of a morphosyntactic test, whose purpose was to evaluate the comprehension of sentences presenting various syntactic structures and increasing complexity. Two perception tests in English and in French were then performed to study the interference concerning the perception of vowel contrasts in both foreign languages.Our results showed that age played a decisive role in the foreign language learning. 14-year-olds performed better than younger children. We also confirmed the facilitating role of learning English on French by considering both languages as two Indo-European languages sharing similar structural and lexical characteristics.Concerning the perception tests, our results showed that Arabic-speaking children discriminate more vowel contrasts in English than in French. We explain this difference by the fact that our participants’ second language is English (started at the age of 6), while the French language is their third language (started at the age of 12). Finally, Arabic-speaking children tended to assimilate French sounds to Arabic or English sounds, demonstrating an effect of phonological deafness

Abstract:
Formidable challenges confront Australia and its human settlements: the mega-metro regions, major and provincial cities, coastal, rural and remote towns. The key drivers of change and major urban vulnerabilities have been identified and principal among them are resource-constraints, such as oil, water, food, skilled labour and materials, and carbon-constraints, linked to climate change and a need to transition to renewable energy, both of which will strongly shape urban development this century. Transitions identifies 21st century challenges to the resilience of Australia’s cities and regions that flow from a range of global and local influences, and offers a portfolio of solutions to these critical problems and vulnerabilities. The solutions will require fundamental transitions in many instances: to our urban infrastructures, to our institutions and how they plan for the future, and perhaps most of all to ourselves in terms of our lifestyles and consumption patterns. With contributions from 92 researchers - all leaders in their respective fields - this book offers the expertise to chart pathways for a sustainability transition.

This book presents a new stage in the contributions of the BRICS countries to the development of Competition Law and policy. The BRICS countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. These five countries, located on three continents, have significant influence in their respective regions and in the world. The changing global environment means greater political and economic role for the BRICS and other emerging countries. BRICS countries are expected to contribute nearly half of all global gross domestic product growth by 2020....

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the European literature on institutions and policy networks. Institutions provide actors with opportunities and constraints for negotiation and cooperation and thus influence the structure of policy networks. The chapter first presents studies on the influence of country- and sector-level institutions on the structure of policy networks. The respective literature deals with the influence of consensual democracy versus majoritarian democracy, corporatist systems of interest intermediation, multiple levels of governance, degrees of European Union integration, processes of liberalization and democratization, and policy-process-specific venues on policy networks. The chapter then discusses the positions and roles of state actors in policy networks. Due to their formal decision-making power, state actors are either networking targets or play a key role in terms of network integration, brokerage, or network management. The review concludes with a short discussion of commonalities and directions for future research.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the last two decades, care deficits in Western Europe have been fuelled by demographic and social transformations, such as population ageing, changes in household structures, welfare programme reforms and an altogether lesser involvement of the state in care provision. These care deficits, particularly in high-income countries, have been addressed through migrant labour which, in turn, contributes to increasing care needs in the migrants’ sending countries. Through the example of Romanian and Slovak caregivers working in 2- and 4-week shifts in Austria, this chapter explores the linkages between care workers’ strategies to address the care deficits in their families, the features of relevant welfare provisions in their respective countries of origin and the workers’ mobility patterns. The chapter argues that existing (limited) care needs in their respective families allow carers to engage in transnational work, while extensive care needs at home are a hindrance for working abroad. In other words, there seems to be a tipping point in the care needs of workers’ families, which results in care workers no longer wanting to work abroad but needing to remain in their countries of origin and care for family members instead. Furthermore, the chapter argues that labour mobility patterns are also influenced by the ‘familialistic’ orientation of relevant welfare provisions in sending countries. As limited formal services put pressure on families to continue providing care informally, institutional frameworks for childcare and care for the elderly also influence care workers’ mobility strategies.

AbstractThe British Mandate over Palestine did not prevent France from exercising its cultural influence over the Melkite community. This chapter analyses the ways in which the French deployed cultural diplomacy in relation to the Melkites, attempting to use culture as a means to politically influence the Melkite community in Palestine. It highlights the role of Archbishop Gregorios Hajjar (1875–1940, in post 1901–1940), a central figure in the Melkite Arabic community as well as a francophone and francophile personality. In particular, it considers Hajjar’s efforts to expand education for Melkite children in northern Palestine, and how both Hajjar and the French used aspects of cultural diplomacy to achieve their respective aims in funding the building and staffing schools, versus the expansion of francophone education in Mandate Palestine.

This chapter explores how digital technological innovation help small states like the Nordic countries to gain influence on the world political stage and in the cyber domain.

AbstractA first integral approach, derived in an analogous fashion to Maxwell’s use of potential fields, is employed to investigate the flow characteristics, with a view to minimising friction, of shear-driven fluid motion between rigid surfaces in parallel alignment as a model for a lubricated joint, whether naturally occurring or engineered replacement. For a viscous bilayer arrangement comprised of immiscible liquids, it is shown how the flow and the shear stress along the separating interface is influenced by the mean thickness of the layers and the ratio of their respective viscosities. Considered in addition, is how the method can be extended for application to the more challenging problem of when one, or both, of the layers is a viscoelastic material.

Abstract:
AbstractResearch has paid little attention to date on how the European Union (EU) affects private (usually voluntary) health insurance at domestic level and more broadly, the political economy of the public-private mix in healthcare. Our argument in this Introduction is that EU law and regulation is, essentially, likely to do so through the provisions applicable to the insurance sector as a whole. We then explain why it could potentially be a vehicle for transformative changes of private health insurers, and why, by extension, it could interact with the prior effects of domestic policy choices in healthcare. Ultimately, such interactions could also help change the nature and scope of health coverage. On the basis of these statements, we develop an analytical approach to elucidate, characterize and prove this influence. We then outline the research design and case selection processes and discuss the various methods applied in the nine contributions to this book. After a short summary of their respective findings, we reflect in a concluding section on how they echo wider debates in the literature on the role of private actors in contemporary Welfare States and on EU influence in healthcare.

AbstractAchieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires significant behavioural changes from a variety of actors, including actors in development cooperation. Within this context, this chapter discusses important political as well as technical factors that influence the contribution of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) and its monitoring framework to the implementation of the SDGs. These are, among other things, the complementarity of the GPEDC monitoring framework to the SDGs; the limited enthusiasm of development partners from the Global South, in particular China and India; the limited attention paid to the platform in general and the monitoring framework in particular by member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); as well as the missing interpretative evaluations and follow-up processes in the aftermath of the respective monitoring rounds.

Abstract:
It is known that the Modernism greatly influenced the way people use spaces, the car use was prioritized, changing the function of the street from a meeting space (human scale – Gehl, 2010) to a passage space (motor scale). It is in this context that this paper aims to present the aspects that interfere in the walkability with focus on different urban morphologies. For this purpose, the study was applied to three neighbourhoods of Lisbon (Portugal) with different morphological characteristics: Graça (organic mesh), Campo de Ourique (regular mesh) and Telheiras (contemporary mesh) and then for the analysis methodological were applied their respective axial maps – derived from the Space Syntax Theory (Hillier and Hanson, 1984). The findings show that, as some authors (Hillier and Hanson, 1984; Handy, 1996; Holanda, 2002; Medeiros, 2013) state, there are differences in performance between different urban forms. According to Jacobs (2000) and Gehl (2010), modern spaces or those that suffer the influence of modernism have morphological elements that repel people, which make the space almost desert, without life. Therefore, it is concluded that depending on the morphological characteristics present in the space there will be more or less life. In other words, the greater segregation between the morphological elements, lower the presence of people in public space.

General approach for the statistical analysis of brittle fracture under tensile multiaxial stress states was extended to square specimens, and used to interpret experimental results. Surface and volume flaw populations appeared to exhibit different characteristics, and thus exert different influences upon the reliability of RBSN. Implications for the interpretation of bending tests and some important trends in the failure strength with specimen size are discussed.

Abstract:
In the last years, the most of offshore oil and gas reserves discoveries in Brazil are placed in ultra-deep water depths. Petroleum production from these offshore fields needs developments with novel solutions in terms of necessary technologies and economical viability. The use of vertical rigid risers such as top tensioned risers (TTR) and others like combined systems as self standing hybrid risers and steel catenary risers for ultra-deep waters have shown viable from both, technical and economical aspects. However, there are needs for detailed studies on their dynamic behavior in order to improve, particularly, the understanding of influence of the environment as wave and current, and floating platform oscillations at the riser top. The present work presents studies on vertical top tensioned riser dynamic behavior through time domain simulations of its displacements and respective, bending moments and stresses. Influences of the vortex induced vibrations (VIV) and waves on the riser service life reduction are analyzed. Maximum and minimum envelops for displacements and stresses along riser length are shown.

Abstract:
Qualified fatigue assessment based on realistic input data constitutes an essential part of an ageing management strategy for Nuclear Power Plants. In this context and as a continuation of a previous paper PVP2014-28716 the requirements of load data evaluation, stress analysis and cycle counting are detailed based on a real world example from a Brazilian Nuclear Power Plant. One essential prerequisite of any fatigue assessment approach is the availability of realistic load data. In the present analysis, selected operational plant data from the period 2003 to 2012 are used. One further prerequisite is the accurate component stress analysis based on a transient thermal-mechanical Finite Element Analyses. As an example, a highly loaded nozzle from the Chemical & Volume Control System (CVCS) is chosen to be analyzed. The influences on the fatigue assessment caused by the load-time histories, the stress analysis approaches and the cycle counting method are discussed in detail. The considered operational time period from 2003 to 2012 with respective selected plant data gives a consolidated background. It is one essential aim of the study to show the influence of the load-data input and the (design code conforming) stress analysis method on the resulting calculated cumulative usage factors (CUFs). In the present paper, the stress analysis employs the finite element method. Simplified elastic-plastic (application of ke plasticity factors) procedures are used in order to identify the margins and influences of design and actual loading histories on the resulting CUFs. The paper concludes with a comprehensive picture including quantification and discussion of the different influencing parameters on the resulting CUFs. This reveals margins in the fatigue design process and solutions of coping with the design code requirements.

Full text
Abstract:
New flexible operational regimes with fast start-ups and fast-changing load cycles for steam turbines require calculation procedures for determining optimal start-up times in order not to exceed the limits of thermal stress for the steam turbine parts. This work presents a start-up time calculation for various kinds of industrial steam turbines. An analytical approach for estimating the optimal thermal load of a turbine from quasi-steady or steady condition is developed. The geometry of the respective turbine components, the changing of the steam parameters and heat transfer effects during the start-up procedure are taken into account while observing the respective material properties and stress limits. The temperature distributions of the respective turbine parts are calculated with a one-dimensional numerical algorithm of Fourier’s heat conduction equation. Three-dimensional influences of the geometry and of the the heat flux are considered analytically by adjusting the numerical solutions of elementary bodies (e.g. one-dimensional plate). The start-up time calculation is performed in small time steps to guarantee the stability of the numerical solution. The unsteady stress analysis for the start-up procedure does not uniquely identify one critical component. The calculation must be repeated for each time step to identify the component which limits the start-up gradient. Other boundary conditions, such as restricted speed ranges of the rotor with minimum transients and time for synchronization with the electrical grid, are considered by the model too and can further limit the start-up gradient and lead to slower start-up procedures. The one-dimensional calculation models were verified with a three-dimensional FEA of the casing and a two axis symmetrical FEA of the rotor. The results for the temperature distribution are presented and compared to the one-dimensional results. The final result of the analytical approach for an optimized start-up time calculation is verified with two typical start-up calculations, one for a generator drive steam turbine and one for a mechanical-drive steam turbine.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of the study is to evaluate the potential of various turbulence models to simulate satisfactorily the influence of freestream turbulence intensity on the development of a cooling film, via a coupled computation, i.e. taking into account the full geometry (plenum, hole and main channel). Isotropic as well as anisotropic turbulence models (for the velocity as well as for the temperature fields) are tested, and an insight on the best suited closure is expected. The question of the respective influences of the various flow parameters (boundary layer characteristics, turbulent length scales, mass blowing ratios…) is also addressed. A low Reynolds number approach gives a correct estimation of the cooling effectiveness after approximately 10 hole diameters, for high or small blowing ratios, and using a k-ε model. The standard k-1 model largely underestimates the mixing in the injection region. The prediction of the injection region still needs to be improved for most configurations, but qualitatively the computation seems more than acceptable, as it exhibits the classically identified counter-rotating vortices that drive the heat transfer phenomena. The study also showed that predicting the influence of the freestream turbulence intensity requires taking into account thermal anisotropies, using an EARSMt (Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Model, t being for Thermal) type model. An increase in freestream turbulence intensity was then shown to diminish the cooling effectiveness for all blowing ratios. The magnitude of the drop has still to be satisfactorily captured.

Full text
Abstract:
The phenomenon of thermal ageing of low alloy steels comes more into focus in terms of long term operation of nuclear power plants (NPP). Safety-relevant components such as the RPV or the pressurizer have to bear the respective loads at elevated temperatures for longer times. However the mechanical properties of the applied materials might experience certain degradations such as a decrease of the impact energy levels and a shift in the ductile to brittle transition temperature (e.g. T41) leading to higher ductile-brittle reference temperatures and a reduction of material toughness. In terms of a safe long term operation it is important to understand in how far thermal ageing alone, meaning for the RPV without the cumulative damaging effects through neutron irradiation, has detrimental influences on the respective materials of interest. First of all an overview is provided of the current state of the art with respect to thermal ageing by describing influencing mechanisms, its implementation into different nuclear codes, standards and selected experimental investigations in this field. Following this, the test results of the thermal surveillance sets from three German PWRs are presented and discussed. The tested Charpy-V specimens, taken from representative RPV base and weld metals (22NiMoCr3-7 / NiCrMo1UP) as well as their heat affected zones, were exposed to ∼290°C for ∼30 years on the cold leg of the according plants’ main coolant loops. The obtained results are compared with the existing thermal aging data base (baseline and ∼7 years data) of the materials concerned. Finally, the role of thermal ageing particularly with respect to RPV irradiation surveillance will be assessed.

Full text
Abstract:
Turbochargers develop away from an auxiliary component — being “off the shelve” — towards an integrated component of the internal combustion engine. Hence, increased attention is paid to the accuracy of the measured turbine and compressor maps. Especially turbine efficiency measurement under engine-relevant operating conditions (pulsed flow) is recently receiving increased attention in the respective research community. Despite various turbine map extrapolation methods, sufficient accuracy of the input test data is indispensable. Accurate experimental data are necessary to achieve high quality extrapolation results, enabling a wide range and precise prediction of turbine behavior under unsteady flow conditions, determined by intermittent operation of the internal combustion engine. The present work describes the first application of a contactless shaft torque measurement technique — based on magnetostriction — to a small automotive turbocharger. The contactless torque measuring system is presented in detail and sensor principle as well as sensor calibration are illustrated. A sensitivity study regarding sensor position influences onto sensor signal proves the robustness and very good repeatability of the system. In the second part of the paper, steady state experimental results from operation on a conventional hot gas test stand over a wide map range are presented. These results are validated against full turbine stage (adiabatic as well as diabatic) CFD results as well as against “cold” efficiency measurements, based on measured inlet and outlet temperatures. The influence and relevance of bearing friction for such measurements is underlined and the improvements on this matter — achieved by direct torque measurement — are demonstrated.

Abstract:
A number of sites around the United States have used activated carbon (AC) amendments to remedy contaminated sediments. Variation in site-specific characteristics likely influences the long-term fate and efficacy of AC treatment. The long-term effectiveness of an AC amendment to sediment is largely unknown, as the field performance has not been monitored for more than three years. As a consequence, the focus of this research effort was to evaluate AC’s long-term (6–10 yr) performance. These assessments were performed at two pilot-scale demonstration sites, Grasse River, Massena, New York and Canal Creek, Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Aberdeen, Maryland, representing two distinct physical environments. Sediment core samples were collected after 6 and 10 years of remedy implementation at APG and Grasse River, respectively. Core samples were collected and sectioned to determine the current vertical distribution and persistence of AC in the field. The concentration profile of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment pore water with depth was measured using passive sampling. Sediment samples from the untreated and AC-treated zones were also assessed for bioaccumulation in benthic organisms. The data collected enabled comparison of AC distribution, PCB concentrations, and bioaccumulation measured over the short- and long-term (months to years).

Full text
Abstract:
Streamflow influences the distribution and organization of high water marks along rivers and streams in a landscape. The federal definition of ordinary high water mark (OHWM) is defined by physical and vegetative field indicators that are used to identify inundation extents of ordinary high water levels without any reference to the relationship between streamflow and regulatory definition. Streamflow is the amount, or volume, of water that moves through a stream per unit time. This study explores regional characteristics and relationships between field-delineated OHWMs and frequency-magnitude streamflow metrics derived from a flood frequency analysis. The elevation of OHWM is related to representative constant-level discharge return periods with national average return periods of 6.9 years using partial duration series and 2.8 years using annual maximum flood frequency approaches. The range in OHWM return periods is 0.5 to 9.08, and 1.05 to 11.01 years for peaks-over-threshold and annual maximum flood frequency methods, respectively. The range of OHWM return periods is consistent with the range found in national studies of return periods related to bankfull streamflow. Hydraulic models produced a statistically significant relationship between OHWM and bank-full, which reinforces the close relationship between the scientific concept and OHWM in most stream systems.

Abstract:
This paper identifies subjective well-being trajectories through happiness measures as influenced by time, socio-economic, demographic and behavioural determinants. Hierarchical age-period-cohort models are applied to European Social Survey (2002–2016) data on the population aged 30 and older in 10 countries. A U-shaped relationship between age and happiness is found for some countries, but a rather flat pattern and considerable diversity beyond age 80 are detected for other countries. Lower happiness levels are found for baby boomers (1945–1964) than for preboomers and post-boomers, and also for late boomers (1955–1964) than for early boomers (1945–1954). Women, highly educated and native people are shown to have higher happiness levels than men, less educated and non-native people, respectively. Moreover, a positive assessment of income, having a partner, and being a parent, in good health, employed and socially active are all found to have a positive impact on happiness levels. We find evidence of gaps in happiness levels due to differences in socio-economic characteristics over the life course in some, but not in all of the countries analysed.

Abstract:
20 years ago a concept of “Green Chemistry” was formulated by Paul Anastas and John Warner, aiming at an ambitious agenda to “green” chemical products and processes. Today the concept, laid down in a set of 12 principles, has found support in various arenas. This diffusion was supported by enhancements of the legislative framework; not only in the European Union. Nevertheless industry actors – whilst generally supporting the idea – still see “cost and perception remain barriers to green chemistry uptake”. Thus, the questions arise how additional incentives as well as measures to address the barriers and impediments can be provided. An analysis addressing these questions has to take into account the institutional context for the relevant actors involved in the issue. And it has to reflect the problem perception of the different stakeholders. The supply chain into which the chemicals are distributed are of pivotal importance since they create the demand pull for chemicals designed in accordance with the “Green Chemistry Principles”. Consequently, the scope of this study includes all stages in a chemical’s life-cycle, including the process of designing and producing the final products to which chemical substances contribute. For each stage the most relevant legislative acts, together establishing the regulatory framework of the “chemicals policy” in the EU are analysed. In a nutshell the main elements of the study can be summarized as follows: Green Chemistry (GC) is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Besides, reaction efficiency, including energy efficiency, and the use of renewable resources are other motives of Green Chemistry. Putting the GC concept in a broader market context, however, it can only prevail if in the perception of the relevant actors it is linked to tangible business cases. Therefore, the study analyses the product context in which chemistry is to be applied, as well as the substance’s entire life-cycle – in other words, the six stages in product innovation processes): 1. Substance design, 2. Production process, 3. Interaction in the supply chain, 4. Product design, 5. Use phase and 6. After use phase of the product (towards a “circular economy”). The report presents an overview to what extent the existing framework, i.e. legislation and the wider institutional context along the six stages, is setting incentives for actors to adequately address problematic substances and their potential impacts, including the learning processes intended to invoke creativity of various actors to solve challenges posed by these substances. In this respect, measured against the GC and Learning Process assessment criteria, the study identified shortcomings (“delta”) at each stage of product innovation. Some criteria are covered by the regulatory framework and to a relevant extent implemented by the actors. With respect to those criteria, there is thus no priority need for further action. Other criteria are only to a certain degree covered by the regulatory framework, due to various and often interlinked reasons. For those criteria, entry points for options to strengthen or further nuance coverage of the respective principle already exist. Most relevant are the deltas with regard to those instruments that influence the design phase; both for the chemical substance as such and for the end-product containing the substance. Due to the multi-tier supply chains, provisions fostering information, communication and cooperation of the various actors are crucial to underpin the learning processes towards the GCP. The policy options aim to tackle these shortcomings in the context of the respective stage in order to support those actors who are willing to change their attitude and their business decisions towards GC. The findings are in general coherence with the strategies to foster GC identified by the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council.
