Abstract:
The growing recognition of recreational and amenity demands on water systems introduces a multitude of issues, many of them complex, to the established tasks of water quality management and water management generally. Victorian case studies are presented. They (1) illustrate the range and diversity of situations that can arise in managing competition and enhancing compatibility between traditional water supply objectives and recreational demands. (2) Fluctuation of storage levels, essential to storage operations, detract from recreational value. Recreational and tourism demands upon Lake Hume have grown to threaten traditional operating flexibility. (3) Mokoan is another such instance, but with its supply function in a state of flux, Lake Mokoan provides more scope for a shift in the balance. (4) Salinity management has become an issue in the management of lakes and wetlands when water supply interests and environmental/recreation interests respectively have different perspectives on salt disposal. (5) Recreational use of town supply sources has long been a vexed issue, although marked shifts in the attitudues of many supply authorities have occurred in recent years. (6) Eutrophication of lakes and estuaries raises difficult issues of responsibility and scientific uncertainty, and the water management connection may be tenuous but will attract public attention. (7) The water body attributes valued by specialised recreational interests require definition in terms that water managers can deal with using routine techniques of systems analysis and evaluation. (8) The demands of the fish population and anglers introduce a new perspective in river management and perceptions of instream values are changing markedly. (9) Direct costs of recreational services supplied by water authorities are not fully accounted: allocation choices and fiscal incidence will emerge as issues of significance. (10) These case studies raise only a fraction of the total range of matters that will, in the years to come, tax the technology and political skills of governments and management.

Abstract:
There are few studies exploring the need to develop and manage culturally competent health services for refugees and migrants from diverse backgrounds. Using data from 50 interviews with service providers from 26 agencies, and focus group discussion with nine different ethnic groups, this paper examines how the Victorian state government funding and service agreements negatively impact on the quest to achieve cultural competence. The study found that service providers have adopted ?one approach fits all? models of service delivery. The pressure and competition for resources to address culturally and linguistically diverse communities? needs allows little opportunity for partnership and collaboration between providers, leading to insufficient sharing of information and duplication of services, poor referrals, incomplete assessment of needs, poor compliance with medical treatment, underutilisation of available services and poor continuity of care. This paper outlines a model for cultural consultation and developing needs-led rather than serviceled programs.

Abstract:
This article examines how some regional newspapers in Australia are engaging with the social media juggernaut Facebook, and looks at the effects of this on their relationships with audiences in a digital world. We highlight how terms such as friend' and ‘community’ mask complex power struggles taking place across these two media platforms. On the one hand, Facebook can facilitate public conversation and widen the options for journalists to access information; on the other, it has become a competitor as news outlets struggle to find a business model for online spaces. We suggest that newspapers and journalists are facing challenges in navigating the complexities of a platform that crosses public/private domains at a time when the nature of ‘private’ and ‘public’ is being contested. The article adopts a ‘pooled case comparison’ approach, drawing on data from two separate Australian studies that examine regional newspapers in a digital landscape. The research draws on interviews with journalists and editors in Australia across three states, and on focus groups and interviews with newspaper readers in Victoria.

Abstract:
This article examines the ways in which state parties have responded to changes in patterns of electoral competition. We contend that parties have tended to alter their organizational practices not only in anticipation of future elections, but also as a function of previous ones. The data are formed by case studies of the Republican parties in Texas and Arkansas in the 1960s and 1970s. The sources of much of these data were the records of the parties themselves. This time period was chosen as it represents a dynamic period for Southern parties when the electoral landscape of the region was transformed. Both Republican party organizations were faced with opportunities that resulted from unanticipated election victories; however, the Texas party was more successful in capitalizing on this opportunity. We explain this by a number of organizational attributes.

Full text
Abstract:
A case study and whole-farm modelling approach was used to examine the potential impacts of negative associative effects on milk production and economic performance of two dairy farms in northern Victoria. The two case studies differed in herd and farm size, calving pattern, forages grown and use of labour, but both had production systems based on grazed pasture, grain fed in the dairy at milking and conserved hay fed out in the paddock. The feeding system of each farm was altered by implementing a partial mixed ration (PMR), where cows grazed once a day and received supplements in a well formulated mix once a day. Negative associative effects between feeds were included in the biophysical modelling by deriving a relationship from published studies between declining neutral detergent fibre digestibility and increasing grain intake. Before applying a PMR system, both farms were profitable and earning competitive rates of return after tax, with mean real internal rate of return higher than 5%, and positive mean annual operating profit and mean net present value, at a discount rate of 5%. Feeding a PMR enabled both farms to increase profitability and internal rate of return, particularly if milk production was increased as well, but only when associative effects were less than those in the feeding system based on grain fed in the dairy and hay in the paddock. Increased profitability was also associated with higher standard deviation in annual operating profit, internal rate of return and net present value, in other words risk increased under the PMR feeding system, as the businesses would be more vulnerable to fluctuating supplementary feed prices.

Abstract:
Victoria Davion confuses seeking approval with the desire for recognition of and respect for one's difference. Ironically, when she asserts that the desire to please others provides an incentive to do well (and thus constitutes a positive aspect of competition) Davion undermines her argument that competition enhances one's sense of self. Rather than enhancing one's sense of self, striving to win approval from others sabotages one's ability to rely on her own judgment and take moral responsibility for herself.

Full text
Abstract:
In the present study, the profitability of a dairy-farm case study evaluated over the period 2003–2004 to 2014–2015 was compared with the performance of other dairy farms and other non-agricultural investments over the same time. Investments are generally made on the expectation that a net return will be earned that justifies using capital in one particular way rather than an alternative way. The expected, and actual, returns from capital invested in different assets will differ according to the risks involved. Investors choose an investment, and mixes of investments, that align with their goals, preferences for risk and anticipated returns over time. Dairy farming involves investing in assets, such as land and improvements, water, livestock, plant and equipment, and people, which are managed to produce milk and ultimately to earn a competitive return on capital. With uncertain seasonal conditions, fluctuating costs and prices, declining terms of trade, wide ranges of equity and management abilities, and a steady decline in the number of commercial farm businesses, it may be tempting to presume that investing in farming, and dairy farming in particular, is a hard road, leading to lower and more variable returns than investing in non-agricultural investment opportunities in the economy. This need not be the case. Analysis of how a dairy business in northern Victoria performed from 2003–2004 to 2014–2015 showed that this farm did well compared with (i) other dairy businesses in Victoria and (ii) alternative investments, such as shares, bonds and property, over the same time. Compound annual return to capital for the dairy farm over the 12 years studied was 12.4% (real, before tax). Over half the return came from the farming operations and the remainder came from owning assets that appreciated in value, particularly in this case, water. The dairy business that was studied was well managed and earned higher annual average returns than the average returns of investments with similar risk elsewhere in the economy, such as shares, and matched it with the best performing of these alternative investments.

Abstract:
Two major collecting institutions in Australia, the Australian Museum (Sydney) and Museums Victoria (Melbourne), are currently undertaking large-scale anoxic rehousing projects in their collections to control conservation issues caused by pyrite oxidation. This paper will highlight the successes and challenges of the rehousing projects at both institutions, which have collaborated on developing strategies to mitigate loss to their collections. In 2017, Museums Victoria Conservation undertook a survey with an Oxybaby M+ Gas Analyser to assess the oxygen levels in all their existing anoxic microclimates before launching a program to replace failed microclimates and expand the number of specimens housed in anoxic storage. This project included a literature review of current conservation materials and techniques associated with anoxic storage, and informed the selection of the RP System oxygen scavenger and Escal Neo barrier film from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company as the best-practice products to use for this application. Conservation at the Australian Museum in Sydney was notified of wide-scale pyrite decay in the Palaeontology and Mineral collections. It was noted that many of the old high-barrier film enclosures, done more than ten years ago, were showing signs of failing. None of the Palaeontology specimens had ever been placed in microclimates. After consultation with Museums Victoria and Collection staff, a similar pathway used by Museums Victoria was adopted. Because of the scale of the rehousing project, standardized custom boxes were made, making the construction of hundreds of boxes easier. It is hoped that new products, like the tube-style Escal film, will extend the life of this rehousing project. Enclosures are being tested at the Australian Museum with a digital oxygen meter. Pyrite rehousing projects highlight the loss of Collection materials and data brought about by the inherent properties of some specimens. The steps undertaken to mitigate or reduce the levels of corrosion are linked to the preservation of both the specimens and the data kept with them (paper labels). These projects benefited from the collaboration of Natural Sciences conservators in Australia with Geosciences collections staff. Natural Science is a relatively recent specialization for the Australian conservation profession and it is important to build resources and capacity for conservators to care for these collections. This applied knowledge has already been passed on to other regions in Australia.

Abstract:
HAVING SURVIVED THE Y2K HYSTERIA, we may feel we have entered new corridors of one hundred and one thousand years. But it is only in 2001 that the punctilious and historical among us may at last observe a centennial, truly the final year of the past century and the hundredth anniversary of the death of Queen Victoria.1 The Jubilees in the last decades of Victoria’s life, and the ceremonies of international mourning that followed her death, might seem to have said goodbye to all that, but in many ways we are still under the sway of the great queen who lent her name to the age before “the American century.” Our own fin-de-siècle urges us to rediscover the many forms of Victoria that have “been hidden in plain view for a hundred years,” as Margaret Homans and Adrienne Munich put it in their co-edited collection of essays, Remaking Queen Victoria (1).2 While North American and British feminist studies have dwelt among Victorian ways since the 1970s — with implications that I will consider below — the queen herself has recently commanded critical attention that might seem, like so many features of Victoria’s public performance, out of proportion. Yet that excess, like our obeisance to the arbitrary power of the calendar, seems to be the very stuff of imagined community and ideological construction, and thus worth watching in action. In any case, when feminist literary critics such as Adrienne Munich, Margaret Homans, and Gail Turley Houston

What kind of economic development trajectory can be expected in cosmopolitan cities that display a high degree of cultural, religious, ethnic and social diversity? Much can be gleaned from examining defined periods in their history that show a rapid transition in religious/cultural and socio-economic terms. Cape Town, a city that prides itself on its deeply rooted diversity and hybridity, and aspires to global status as a creative urban hub after having emerged from the rigidities of apartheid, appears not to be able to manage a breakthrough to sustained long-term development. An examination of the city's transformational period during the early decades of the nineteenth century may explain why this is so. Competitive diversity in religion, culture and business provided the template for a highly individualised development path with a short time horizon. This work uses the analytical tools of human development theory, cultural value analysis, the linkages between religion and economics, rational choice theory, urban development studies, and the study of identity formation and creolisation to construct a lens for the review of religious and socio-economic discourse in Cape Town during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Recognising that invasion is a structure not an event (Wolfe, 2006) and that settler colonialism shapes the present in significant ways, this thesis investigates the invisible presence of Aboriginal Victorians through a study of the Victorian gold rush and Australian Rules football. As key markers of Australian national identity, the case studies demonstrate the importance of white belonging to identity construction and argue that Aboriginal Victorians are necessarily invisibly present within the settler colonial present (Veracini, 2015).

Abstract:
The competition today has many faces and it has persuaded all kinds of organizations to prepare for the unknown. To broaden your capacity for quick changes or come up with effective and creative initiatives became imperative. Therefore, the choice of strategy and the making of decisions can implicate in the survival of these companies. Our objective is to propose marketing strategies to be used by small bakeries, with a goal to obtain competitive advantages. We emphasize also the study of the strategies adopted by these companies, the comparison of these companyâs strategic actions with the theories advocated by the referred authors and the evaluation of these actions in accordance with the companyâs positioning. The themes of the theoretical referential that substantiated the field research along with the bakeryâs businessmen and managers are associated to the following thematics: strategy and concepts, competitive advantages, strategic positioning and marketing strategy. The characteristics of the local bakeries and the profile of this sector were themes also studied for the better understanding on the subject. The researched companies are traditional bakeries and are of great economical importance for the region where they are installed. The research allowed us to confirm the unawareness of marketing. It was also verified, that the competition between companies of this sector is very aggressive, and that the companies which adopts marketing strategies do so with competitive advantages in mind. In a general way, it was observed that the elevated growth of the economy makes the changes in strategical behavior of the companies mandatory, which suggests a deeper look in to these questions.

Enfatizamos tambÃm o estudo das estratÃgias adotadas pelas empresas em questÃo, a comparaÃÃo das aÃÃes estratÃgicas destas com as teorias preconizadas pelos autores referenciados e a avaliaÃÃo destas aÃÃes de acordo com o posicionamento de cada empresa. Os temas do referencial teÃrico que fundamentaram a pesquisa de campo junto aos empresÃrios e gerentes das panificadoras estÃo associados Ãs seguintes temÃticas: estratÃgias e conceitos, vantagens competitivas, posicionamento estratÃgico e as estratÃgias de marketing. As caracterÃsticas das empresas locais de panificaÃÃo e o perfil do setor de panificaÃÃo, tambÃm foram temas estudados para melhor embasamento sobre o assunto. As empresas pesquisadas sÃo panificadoras tradicionais que representam grande importÃncia econÃmica para a regiÃo onde estÃo instaladas. A pesquisa permitiu constatar o desconhecimento de tÃcnicas de marketing. Verificou-se, tambÃm, que a competiÃÃo entre as empresas do setor à bastante acirrada, e que as empresas que adotam as estratÃgias de marketing procuram fazÃ-lo visando vantagens competitivas. De forma geral, observou-se que o elevado crescimento da economia, torna obrigatÃria a mudanÃa de comportamento estratÃgico das empresas o que sugere um aprofundamento destas questÃes.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine a school district's responses to charter schools operating within its boundaries. The selected district was the only one in the state with two large academically competitive charter schools for at least two years. Four questions guided the research: In terms of instruction, finance, communication, and leadership, how has the traditional district been impacted due to charter school existence? The exploratory research was timely since charter schools are proliferating as tax-supported public choice schools. While many have speculated about free-market effects of charter school competition on systemic educational reform, the debate has been chiefly along ideological lines; therefore, little empirical research addresses this issue. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used to present a comprehensive case study. Twenty-six school officials and teachers were interviewed; 159 teachers and 1576 parents were surveyed. District, community, and state education department documents were analyzed. Since charter schools have existed in the district, numerous activities have taken place. Instructional initiatives included a high school academy, expanded technology, gifted and talented, tutoring, and dropout prevention. All elementary and middle schools required uniforms. The district's state accountability rating improved from acceptable to recognized. A leadership void was perceived due to students leaving to attend charter schools initially. The district was perceived as making efforts to improve communication with the community. The financial impact of charter schools was neutralized due to the district's student population increase, property wealth, and state charter funding structure. The data supported all of the hypotheses in terms of the impact of charter schools in the district on these activities: free-market effects of charter school competition were not established as the primary reason for internal organizational changes that occurred in the district. Anecdotal evidence suggested that charter schools may have played some role, but primarily they seemed to reinforce trends already occurring in the district.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of information technology (IT) on the competitive position of a firm. The problem motivating this study is the potential for misallocation of scarce resources on new technology without realizing the level of competitive advantage (CA) expected. This study was a single-site case study. It examined the factors related to the selection, design, development, implementation, use, and effects of an information system (IS) intended to generate CA. The study examined all these factors within the organizational and industrial contexts of the subject firm.

Abstract This section illustrates Value Chain Thinking (VCT) in practice, using a combination of our development project experiences and Australia Awards Africa case studies that we have mentored. It provides case studies on which VCT has been put into practice: These examples cover: aquaculture on Lake Victoria, Kenya; Pakistani mangoes; Ghanaian pineapples; livestock value chains covering Madagascan goats, Ugandan rabbits, Ghanaian guinea fowl, Nigerian catfish and Kenyan indigenous chicken; and vegetable value chains in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. Then the researchers offer two novel applications of VCT: (1) to improve children's nutrition in Madagascar, Cameroon and Zambia, as well as value chain members' livelihoods; and (2) to design and operate the Ghana Green Label scheme for food certification covering both safety and environmental assurances.

Abstract:
The compact city paradigm is very often described as compact (dense), mixed use settlements. Masterplans for crucial areas in cities play a major role for future development of cities. The most strategic and important sites are often a subject of urban design competitions – calls for proposals for future development ideas. Some of the competition entries are only a subject for a brainstorming discussion about the future of the cities or its parts. Some of winning entries become basis for real masterplans which are implemented later. In this article several case studies of competitions and its results have been presented. Also, a methodology classification has been proposed. Also a classification has been proposed. Three case studies of urban design competitions has been discussed: Wygoda settlement' in Bia³ystok, Gizynek settlement in Stargard Szczeciñski and city centre of Goleniów. The findings of the research on this case study help us understand whether competitions might be used as a tool for future city 'modeling'. The author is a researcher and also an architect and urban designer, as well as the author of many competition entries.

Abstract:
Engineering optimization methods for new product development model consumer demand as a function of product attributes and price in order to identify designs that maximize expected profit. However, prior approaches have ignored the ability of competitors to react to a new product entrant; thus these methods can overestimate expected profit and select suboptimal designs that perform poorly in a competitive market. We propose an efficient approach to new product design accounting for competitor pricing reactions by imposing Nash and Stackelberg conditions as constraints, and we test the method on three product design case studies from the marketing and engineering design literature. We find that a Stackelberg leader strategy generates higher profit than a Nash strategy. Both strategies are superior to ignoring competitor reactions: In our case studies, ignoring price competition results in overestimation of profits by 12%–79%, and accounting for price competition increases realized profits by up to 3.4%. The efficiency, convergence stability, and ease of implementation of the proposed approach enables practical implementation for new product design problems in competitive markets.

Abstract:
Recently, national economy has an important role in level of development and in steadily increase of the level of production. Research and Development is the use of background information and an intensive effort with a systematic base in new technologies in order to increase fund of knowledge. For the sake of this purpose, the importance given to R&D studies has been increased both in all over the world. When these countries examined, sources are used efficiently thanks to these activities. In addition to this, R&D has been an indispensable factor in the competition environment. Çanakkale belonging to the second group out of five in the socio-economic development framework is one of the prominent provinces in terms of development level. Thanks to being the building stone, Çanakkale is expected to give the needed importance R&D studies to increase its own agricultural competition capacity to gain economical added value. In this study, it is aimed to examine the overall position of the provincial R&D activities, the number of the enterprises running R&D activities, the capacity of the enterprises, their business segment, their position in agricultural industry, the importance given to the R&D activities in agricultural industry thanks to the questionnaires done with 153 enterprises taken from the industrial scaling of Çanakkale Provincial Directorate of Science Industry and Technology.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2002, the Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored the world’s first university competition to design and build a completely solar powered house. One requirement of the competition was to perform simulations of the house’s photovoltaic, solar thermal, and space conditioning systems. By instituting this requirement, DOE is encouraging the building industry to apply the “whole-building design” approach to residences as a method of reducing financial and environmental operation costs of the building over its lifetime. This paper describes the simulation approach taken by the University of Colorado Solar Decathlon Team. In addition to describing the process of simulating a zero-energy residential building, the specific results of the simulations and related parametric studies are also presented. The design and analysis process provides a case study in the application of six different simulation tools for zero-energy building design. Energy-10 provided an environment for parametric analysis of building design options during the critical early design phase. However, it lacks the flexibility to model solar electric, solar thermal, and specialized HVAC systems. FChart gave valuable guidance early in the project on the impact of solar system sizing and performance. TRNSYS is extremely flexible in that it can simulate various solar systems and the interactions of virtually any thermal system commonly found in buildings. This flexibility is accompanied by the burden of complexity and a generic user interface that limits its use as a routine building design tool. Radiance, AGI32, and ECOTECT provided specialized simulation tools for the integration of the daylight delivery system, external shading devices, and the electric lighting system. Additional development is required to better integrate these design needs into general building energy analysis tools.

Abstract:
With the recommendation from ABET, each engineering student should go through a major engineering design experience and understand how to go from design specifications to a final artifact. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) started automotive design projects including competition vehicles and proof of concept vehicles for its undergraduate students many years ago. These projects aim to provide practical engineering education to the students through vehicle design and fabrication with hands-on experience. The project lifecycle usually does not last longer than one year as it is governed by the competition and the academic cycle. With many years of experience supervising students, the best practice of guiding students learning through this engineering design project within one academic year is developed. Before each project, students will first go through training and apprenticeship. Such project usually starts with problem formulation that studies the requirements of vehicle for the competition and the resources available. The team of students will go from design specifications to a final vehicle prototype with generating alternatives, synthesizing, analyzing, fabrication, testing and evaluating. This method allows sustainability in vehicle design projects. NUS Eco-car project is used as a case study to illustrate the best practice. Our past experience showed that students trained in this project have strong practical and analytical skills and are able to manage and communicate in a team well.

Abstract:
Challenge-Based Learining is a STEM Education methodology that has been used as a collaborative and hands-on approach to encourage students to put their knowledge in practice by addressing real-life problems. Space Education is a field particularly suited to apply it, with hands-on research projects which require students to take actions and communicate their efforts in a multicultural, international scenario in order to produce an optimal response a specific goal. We herein present a successful Challenge-Based Learning Case Study which involves designing, implementing, and actually flying a microgravity experiment in parabolic flight. The Barcelona ZeroG Challenge is an international competition addressed to University students worldwide. It challenges students to build a team with a mentor, propose, design, build and fly their experiment in microgravity and finally communicate their findings. The experiment has to meet the requirements of a unique microgravity research platform available in Barcelona for educational and research purposes. More than fifty students have flown their experiments on board an aerobatic CAP10B aircraft in Barcelona in previous educational campaigns; having published their results in relevant symposiums and scientific journals. These campaigns have always attracted media attention. The current edition is underway with the winner team expected to fly their experiment before the end of 2022. This edition is jointly organized by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, the Barcelona-Sabadell Aviation Club and the Space Generation Advisory Council. Up to fifteen projects have been submitted to this edition, an unprecedent number so far. A panel of experts from the European Space Agency Academy conducted the selection of the winner team, who receives a 2500 euros grant to develop its experiment, aside from the opportunity to fly it in parabolic flight. Furthermore, students from our own University have also the opportunity of designing and testing their microgravity experiments during their studies. Principles of Challenge-Based Learning are herein described as well as how this methodology is applied to this Case Study. Results from our experience are very satisfactory as most of the students who have been involved in it perceive this experience as a boost for their careers. Three key factors to success have been identified: a strong involvement from students' associations, a need for international cooperation and the quality of the students’ mentoring. The experience can be of interest for other organizations to conduct a successful CBL educational project

Abstract:
At a time when product differentiation is a major indicator of success in the global market, each company is looking to offer competitive and highly differentiated products. This differentiation issue is restricted by the design of platform-based products that share modules and/or components. It is not easy to differentiate products in a market that is often overwhelmed by numerous options. A platform-based approach can be risky because competition in the global market can become an internal competition among similar products within the family if there is not enough differentiation in the family. Thus, the goal for the product platform is to share elements for common functions and to differentiate each product in the family by satisfying different targeted needs. To assess commonality in the family, numerous indices have been proposed in the literature. Nevertheless, existing indices focus on commonality and reflect an increase in value when commonality increases but do not positively reflect an increase in the value as a result of diversity; hence, the Commonality versus Diversity Index (CDI) is introduced in this paper to assess the commonality and diversity within a family of products or across families. The CDI has variable levels of depth analysis to help designers design or improve the product family. Two case studies using single-use cameras and power tool families highlight the usefulness of this new index.

Abstract:
In this paper a new way for neural network training is introduced where the output of middle (hidden) layer of neural network is used to update weights in a competition procedure. Output layer’s weights are modified with multi layer perceptron (MLP) policy. This learning method is applied to two systems as case studies. First one is the monitoring of industrial machine where the results are compared with other training methods such as MLP or Radial Basis Function (RBF). Oil analysis data is used for condition monitoring. The data is gathered by using ten stages technique. The second one is the Stock prediction where the data are highly nonlinear and normally unpredictable especially when the markets are affected by political facts. The simulation results are analyzed and compared with other methods.

Abstract:
Modeling of evaporation of a pure liquid within a capillary tube of circular cross section is a classic problem which has been the subject of many studies. Here we consider the case of tubes of polygonal cross section. This case leads to much greater evaporation rates owing to the liquid flow along the tube edges induced by the capillary forces. We concentrate on slow evaporation situations for which evaporation is controlled by mass transfer. Various evaporation regimes are distinguished depending on the competition between capillary, gravity and viscous forces. When the capillary forces are dominant, it is shown that the position of the bulk meniscus scales linearly with time (and not as the square root of time as in a capillary tube of circular cross section). The effect of viscous or gravity forces is to thin out the corner liquid fingers as the bulk meniscus recedes into the tube. This contributes to reduce the evaporation rate compared to the capillarity dominated regime. Then the case of faster evaporations inducing significant temperature variations is briefly discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Hydrogen is one of the key components in clean energy systems of the future (Hydrogen Council, 2017). Currently, clean hydrogen production requires either availability of large quantities of renewable energy (in competition with other high power demanding industries) in a capitally expansive electrolysis process or need for carbon capture and storage solutions for the steam methane reforming process. Hydrogen Source developed and is commercializing Hydrogen Generation from Hydrocarbons Subterrain technology allowing to reduce both costs and associated emissions. The process allows converting non- commercial gas reserves to clean hydrogen available for recovery and commercial use with costs considerably below today's state-of-the-art hydrogen production technologies such as electrolysis or steam methane reforming. The paper presents the experimental studies, including adiabatic reactor, core, and combustion tube experiments, confirming process efficiency and simulation studies using state-of-the-art reservoir simulation tools, laying basis for technoeconomic evaluation of the process at the field level. Experimental investigations confirmed process efficiency. Numerical simulation, monte-carlo and P10-P50-P90 statistical analysis showed hydrogen production costs on the scale of 0.1-0.5 $/kg with low associated emissions. Techno-economic estimates of application to several field case evaluations for offshore and onshore hydrogen production are presented. Potential for technology application worldwide is also presented.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper synthesises the findings of a set of country studies commissioned by the RISE Programme to explore the influence of politics and power on education sector policymaking and implementation. The synthesis groups the countries into three political-institutional contexts: Dominant contexts, where power is centred around a political leader and a hierarchical governance structure. As the Vietnam case details, top-down leadership potentially can provide a robust platform for improving learning outcomes. However, as the case studies of Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Tanzania illustrate, all-too-often dominant leaders’ goals vis-à-vis the education sector can veer in other directions. In impersonal competitive contexts, a combination of strong formal institutions and effective processes of resolving disagreements can, on occasion, result in a shared commitment among powerful interests to improve learning outcomes—but in none of the case studies is this outcome evident. In Peru, substantial learning gains have been achieved despite messy top-level politics. But the Chilean, Indian, and South African case studies suggest that the all-too-common result of rule-boundedness plus unresolved political contestation over the education sector’s goals is some combination of exaggerated rule compliance and/or performative isomorphic mimicry. Personalised competitive contexts (Bangladesh, Ghana, and Kenya for example) lack the seeming strengths of either their dominant or their impersonal competitive contexts; there are multiple politically-influential groups and multiple, competing goals—but no credible framework of rules to bring coherence either to political competition or to the education bureaucracy. The case studies show that political and institutional constraints can render ineffective many specialised sectoral interventions intended to improve learning outcomes. But they also point to the possibility that ‘soft governance’ entry points might open up some context-aligned opportunities for improving learning outcomes. In dominant contexts, the focus might usefully be on trying to influence the goals and strategies of top-level leadership. In impersonal competitive contexts, it might be on strengthening alliances between mission-oriented public officials and other developmentally-oriented stakeholders. In personalised competitive contexts, gains are more likely to come from the bottom-up—via a combination of local-level initiatives plus a broader effort to inculcate a shared sense among a country’s citizenry of ‘all for education’.
