Full textAbstract:
Collective behaviour in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacteria to insects, to fish shoals. Zebrafish have emerged as a model system amenable to laboratory study. Here we report a three-dimensional study of the collective dynamics of fifty zebrafish. We observed the emergence of collective behaviour changing between ordered to randomised, upon adaptation to new environmental conditions. We quantify the spatial and temporal correlation functions of the fish and identify two length scales, the persistence length and the nearest neighbour distance, that capture the essence of the behavioural changes. The ratio of the two length scales correlates robustly with the polarisation of collective motion that we explain with a reductionist model of self–propelled particles with alignment interactions.

Purpose This paper aims to reveal the effects of an organisation’s bargaining power on its negotiating behaviours (including integrating, obliging, compromising, dominating and avoiding) in the context of inter-organisational conflict in construction projects and investigate how organisational power distance orientation moderates the relationship between the organisation’s bargaining power and its negotiating behaviours. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a questionnaire survey among practitioners in the Chinese construction industry with the final sample consisting of 219 responses. A structural equation model was used to analyse the data and test the hypotheses. Findings The results reveal that an organisation’s bargaining power is positively associated with dominating and integrating behaviours but negatively associated with obliging and avoiding behaviours. Additionally, bargaining power is found to be negatively associated with compromising behaviour when the organisation has a high power distance orientation. Finally, a higher degree of power distance orientation strengthens the positive effect bargaining power has on dominating behaviour. Practical implications The findings can help practitioners to predict the negotiating behaviours of a counterpart according to its bargaining power and the power distance in its organisational culture. This can then enable practitioners to adjust their strategies accordingly and steer the negotiations towards a win–win outcome. Originality/value This study applies the approach-inhibition theory of power to inter-organisational negotiations and empirically tests the relationship between an organisation’s bargaining power and its negotiating behaviours in the context of construction projects. Additionally, this study reveals that organisational power distance orientation moderates this relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Alumina nanofluid has unique thermo-physical properties which make it appreciable as thermal fluid, but its high extinction coefficient is not significant enough for making it a good solar irradiation absorber. The investigation was conducted on 0.05% v/v water-based alumina nanofluid and results showed that the nanofluid is able to attenuate approximately 50% of solar energy irradiated on the earth surface. Enhancement in absorption coefficient is found very little to increase absorptivity of basefluid using Rayleigh approach. It is found that the scattering coefficient of alumina is dominating absorption coefficient. Although high value of extinction coefficient is observed as usual, scattering is found responsible for this high extinction. The Rayleigh approach cannot explain the optical behaviour of the nanofluid and dominating scattering behaviour points toward alumina nanofluids’ weak capability as radiation absorber.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problem of analysis of the factors that influence the behaviour and decision-making of consumers when buying beverages. The analysis was based on data about consumer behaviour obtained within the period of 1993–2004. The secondary analysis involved data collected within the framework of a marketing research project SHOPPING MONITOR performed by the marketing agencies INCOMA Research and GfK Prague in years 1999–2002. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that hypermarkets were dominating not only as a place of purchasing foodstuffs in general but also as a leading outlet for sale of beverages. Czech consumers preferred Czech brands of beverages and there was a new trend in increasing purchases of tea, juices and mineral water on the one hand and coffee and wine on the other. This indicates a change in consumption habits and reflects an interest in a healthier life style.

Full textAbstract:
Foreign labours workforce has long been dominating the Malaysian construction industry at the operational level as numerous occupational safeties literatures have reflected most of construction accidents are caused by poor human behaviours. Undeniably, the existence of proper safety behaviour would influence good safety compliance among the construction foreign labours. The purpose of this study is to examine the key issues affecting the safety compliance behaviour enhancement of construction foreign labours in the Malaysian construction site. For the present research, nine case studies were conducted by using semi-structured interviews to obtain data from the informants who are mainly site safety personnel. These personnel were working very closely with the construction foreign labours. The findings of this research reveals that there are five key issues that would influence the safety compliances enhancement among the foreign labours: (1) Emotional evoke, (2) Leader as example, (3) Forerunner within the same ethnicity, (4) Supervision execution and (5) Safety prioritisation. Therefore, these key issues have proven that there is a significant relationship between the workers' behaviours and consequences of an act.

AbstractThere has been little ecological and evolutionary research on learning in the context of sexual behaviour in insects. The traditional views still dominating the literature are that insects are short-lived and have little opportunity to learn about courtship and mating. In this paper I challenge these views by illustrating, theoretically, that at least some insects have ample opportunities to learn in the context of sexual behaviour and that such learning may be beneficial. Some of the best empirical evidence for learning about sexual behaviour in insects is reviewed and future directions in this fruitful area of research are suggested. The role of learning in insect sexual behaviour has probably been underestimated. Such learning may have had an important effect on sexual selection and incipient speciation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe literature on challenging behaviour is large, with heavy emphasis on behavioural approaches. In recent years more attention has been given to the effect of psychiatric illness on the behaviour of people with intellectual disability. However, theoretical differences between disciplines can lead to one or other approach dominating the assessment process. Increasingly, functional assessment is receiving attention as an assessment approach by both psychiatrists and psychologists. When used properly it can give a holistic overview of the individual and their behaviour, allowing a team approach to assessment and treatment that ensures the consideration of all possible psychiatric/medical/behavioural/environmental possibilities (a bio-behavioural model) in the aetiology and maintenance of challenging behaviour. This case study illustrates the effectiveness of teamwork in this area using functional assessment as a tool. The case also illustrates the possible futility of such comprehensive assessments of challenging behaviour in the absence of appropriate resources to implement the recommendations of such an assessment.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the current research program was to investigate the social context of escalation in response to continued pushy behaviour in the workplace. In doing so, this research program contributes to the development of communication skills by investigating the entire context of skills required for effective communication in managing everyday conflict in the workplace. The response class, Responding to continued pushy or dominating behaviour in the workplace, was selected as a vehicle for examining the context of escalation for two reasons. Firstly, this response class, by the very nature of pushy behaviour, embodies a continued interaction. In the past, assertive communication research has focused on one off responses rather than a continued interaction. Secondly, this response class has been identified in previous research as being of interest to assertiveness trainees (Cooley, 1979, Lefevre & West, 1984, Wilson & Gallios, 1993). The theoretical premise of the current research program resides in the application of Social Rules Theory to the difficult face-to-face communication situation, or response class, of responding to continued pushy behaviour in the workplace. In doing so, this approach also takes into account dialectical theory, conflict resolution theory, and the concept of response components that can be selected and/or combined in order to meet the requirements, or rules, of a specific situation. In adopting the Social Rules approach, the current research program addresses the key criticisms of the traditional approach to assertion and assertion training, namely that people behaving assertively are sometimes negatively evaluated for assertive behaviour (Wilson & Gallois, 1993); and that assertion traditionally focused on the expressiveness of a response at the unintended cost of social or contextual appropriateness (Crawford, 1988); that finding a response is assertive does not delineate which aspects of the response are producing which types of effects (Galassi, 1978; Mullinix & Galassi, 1981). Most importantly, the current research contributes to the field by examining the negative response class in terms of a response sequence of escalation, rather than a one-off response. This is new research and contributes to the field theoretically and to the conceptualisation of assertion and communication. In order to meet the goals of the current research program, the response class Responding to continued pushy behaviour in the workplace, was defined precisely in terms of the situational context. This response class implies a workplace relationship of an ongoing nature. Four other variables were involved in defining and investigating the situation. These were status, gender of message sender, gender of message receiver, and response level (initial response, first escalation or second escalation). The current program of research was carried out in a series of three related studies, and these four variables were examined in each of the three studies. The purpose of the first study was to elicit social rules and goals for interpersonally effective and appropriate escalation strategies in response to pushy dominating communication in the workplace. This study was conducted in two parts, a qualitative questionnaire completed by 20 females and 20 males, and two focus groups, one for females and one for males. Content analysis revealed a set of rules for an escalation sequence for each combination of status and gender. These rules were then operationalized, filmed and analysed in the second study. One hundred and twenty-three participants (64 females and 59 males) with work experience watched the operationalized responses and rated them on a series of seven scales. These scales were effectiveness in stopping the pushy behaviour (task effectiveness), effectiveness in maintaining the relationship (maintenance effectives), social appropriateness, interpersonal skill required, risk involved, personal difficulty in making the response, and likelihood of making the response. Analyses included descriptive statistics, which indicated that the operationalized responses were perceived to be effective and socially appropriate. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) were also conducted and revealed a number of significant interactions for each status level (manager, colleague, subordinate). The third and final study in this research program adopted a qualitative approach to examine continued pushy or dominating communication in the workplace. Eighty-two (45 female and 37 male) participants completed a qualitative questionnaire utilizing an open-ended approach. This questionnaire was designed for the purpose of the third study to elicit the typical behaviours, emotions and cognitions participants have in response to continued pushy behaviour in the workplace. Also, a data analysis process was designed specifically for the third study to provide an analytical procedure that was as systematically rigorous and replicable as possible. This process is explained in detail in Study 3. The results of the third study revealed differences between actual behaviour and rule based behaviour in response to continued pushy behaviour, namely that actual responses are more public and direct in nature, and more likely to promote destructive conflict escalation. This finding implies that typical responses are not as effective as rule based responses, highlighting the benefits of applying social rules to manage difficult face to face communication situations. In summary, the current research project utilized a multi-method approach in a series of three studies to reveal the nature of Social Rules based responses and typical responses. The results of this research program have implications for both the theory and practice of effective communication and effective communication training. Evaluation of both social rules based and typical responses have implications for communication trainees who wish to make informed choice based on a consideration of functionally effective behaviour and personal satisfaction. For example, social rules for escalation in response to continued pushy behaviour from a male manager may indicate that it is most effective for a female subordinate to acquiesce. However, the female subordinate may choose to violate social rules and risk being perceived as inappropriate and damaging the relationship, to achieve a super-ordinate goal or for personal satisfaction. Conversely, the social rules and responses developed in the current research program have implications for professional effectiveness in the workplace by providing guidelines for dealing with dominating behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Conflicts are part of our everyday life and the field of psychology describes how specific personality traits relate to specific conflict styles. However, the question remaining is why these relations exist? Recently, personality neuroscience has begun pinning down the neurobiology of personality traits, providing a deeper understanding of the human behavior. The present thesis utilizes the Five Factor Model (FFM; Costa & McCrae, 1990) of personality to investigate the neurobiology underlying the inverse relation between the specific personality trait of Agreeableness and dominating conflict style (a conflict management style characterized by aggressiveness, authoritarianism and/or need for dominance). Agreeableness overlaps both empathy and aggression which can work as each other’s opposites in explaining conflict behaviors. The goal of the thesis was to investigate whether the inverse relation between Agreeableness and dominating conflict style can be explained by brain regions. Brain regions such as the medial prefrontal cortex and regions involving anterior cingulate appear to be the most prominent neurobiology describing the relation. Serotonin is the neural substance involved in most cortical and subcortical brain structures and it also regulates the suppression of aggression, making it an important substance both within Agreeableness and the preference for dominating conflict style. The thesis will sum up with a discussion including some limitations within the research and further aspects such the consequences of the findings will be discussed.

The present paper comprehends a field study of the economic life of the inhabitants of Cariongo village in Santa Rita/MA. For the undertaking of this research we made use of a method which contemplated both qualitative and quantitative data analyses in loco observation and statistics thus, allowing us to interpret that the inhabitants of that village face a situation of crisis in the production of manioc flour, precisely, for having their right to farm their lands revoked by the INCRA, which had intervened in an agrarian conflict between the inhabitants and local grileiros . Therefore, it occurred to us that the inhabitants of Cariongo are now undergoing what we identified as a process of reconfiguration of their economic behavior. The interpretations made thereof were basically conducted by the theoretical and methodological orientation of the economic sociology of Karl Polanyi and Max Weber, apart from the analytical discussion on subsistence economies highlighting the historians Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein who defend a rather contrary perspective to that of the neoclassical economic theory in the face of the expansion of the historical capitalism world economy. Thus, the economic field is the ultimate point of the present research and practically of the entire debate, however, there is no intention of limiting the discussion to this field alone, this way, the focus on that social reality also takes into consideration its relation to both political and cultural fields (with analysis of the educational capital) precisely given that we understand the multiple dimensions of social life as undoubtedly inseparable aspects, yet it is not about harmonious relations, the social realm is one of struggle between the agents, a realm of contention between those who dominate and those who are dominated. In regard to this analysis of the political and cultural fields we made use of the theoretical propositions of Pierre Bourdieu with his notion of domination and symbolic violence as means of appropriation of both economic and cultural capital.
Este trabalho ocupa-se de um estudo de campo sobre a vida econômica dos moradores da Vila Cariongo, em Santa Rita/MA. Para a realização desta pesquisa utilizamos o método misto quali-quanti observação in loco e estatística , desta maneira, tornou-se possível interpretar que os moradores daquela Vila enfrentam uma situação de crise da produção de farinha de mandioca, justamente por terem suas terras agricultáveis interditadas pelo INCRA, este que intermediou um conflito agrário entre moradores e grileiros locais . Diante deste problema, percebemos que os moradores do Cariongo enfrentam o que identificamos como um processo de reconfiguração dos comportamentos econômicos. As interpretações aqui realizadas foram conduzidas basicamente pelas orientações teórico-metodológicas da sociologia econômica de Karl Polanyi e Max Weber, além da discussão analítica sobre as economias de subsistência, com destaque aos historiadores Fernand Braudel e Immanuel Wallerstein que defendem uma posição contrária à teoria econômica neoclássica frente à expansão da economia-mundo do capitalismo histórico. Neste sentido, o campo econômico é o ponto nevrálgico da pesquisa e de praticamente todo o debate, no entanto, não há o intuito de reduzir a discussão a este único campo, sendo assim, o enfoque sobre aquela realidade social também considera a sua relação com o campo político e o campo cultural (com análise do capital escolar), justamente por entendermos as múltiplas dimensões da vida social como aspectos indubitavelmente inseparáveis, contudo não se trata de relações harmônicas, o espaço social é o espaço de lutas entre os agentes, o espaço de disputas entre dominantes e dominados. No que se refere a esta análise do campo político e do campo cultural fez-se uso das proposições teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu com a sua noção de dominação e violência simbólica enquanto mecanismos de apropriação do capital econômico e do capital cultural.

Full textAbstract:
This study emerged from the high prevalence rate of HIV and AIDS infection among women in Sub-Saharan Africa, which has no exception to Namibia. Women have been vulnerable to HIV and AIDS let alone on sex related issues since the epidemic emerged, but not research has been done specifically to Okalongo women. The way in which women vulnerable to HIV and AIDS infection were explored by examined social and cultural identities that affect women’s sexual relations in negotiating sex and safe sex. Qualitative study on a sample of fifteen women was conducted in Okalongo. The purpose of this study was to investigate the conceptions and experiences of women in negotiating sex and safe sex with their husband and partners. Feminist theory guided the methodology and analysis of data. I assumed that gender roles andsexuality are socially constructed, shaped by religion, social, political, and economic influences and modified throughout life. Feminist theory assisted in documentary the ways in which the female’s gender and sexuality in Okalongo is shaped by cultural influences and by institutions that disadvantage female and other oppressed groups by silencing their voices. The feminist further guided the discussion of the contradicting messages about women’s sexuality and their experiences, as women complied, conformed and even colluded with their oppression. To address the issue under study, the primary analysis of data from the focus group discussion and individual interview were utilised. The following themes were the heart of analysis: Women Positionality, Normalisation and Compliance, Women Agency and Male Dominance Power, Women Perceptions of Risk, Sex Education in and out of school among Women.In this study the data suggested that women in Okalongo are more vulnerable to their lack of assertiveness, as they have difficult in developing an authoritative voice, they tend to be humble about their achievements and knowledge and to only assertively when concerned about others. The findings supported the literature that women’s vulnerability is strongly influenced and tied by broader forces present in the society. Women’s vulnerability is real and needs to be tackled for any progress to occur in the fight against AIDS. Until factors that constraints and enabling women agency to negotiate sex and safe sex acknowledged and addressed, women will continue to succumb to the HIV pandemic.

If you want to know what role politics plays in society and how it affects you, read this textbook. In it you will find answers to questions that concern everyone. What is politics: science, art or technology of domination in the hands of the elect? Are there laws in politics, is it possible to know them and use them in the interests of society, and not just the ruling class? Why has power always been a bone of contention, what is its attractive power? Does the theory of politics have the right to claim the status of a science about the laws of the functioning of power, if all knowledge about politics is situational, relative and changeable? Why are the conclusions and recommendations of political science relevant to society often ignored by the elite? These and many other questions are answered based on the analysis of the political practices of foreign countries and Russia.
The author interprets politics as a mechanism of volitional distribution of public goods, revealing its laws, exposing the hidden logic of the struggle for power, However, politics is presented not only as a mechanism for coordinating heterogeneous interests, but also as a set of beliefs, ideas, meanings that determine technologies and structures of symbolic domination and behavior patterns in the information society.

Changes in dynamics of economic development of Latvia and its regions are characterised by changes of consumer behaviour and socio-economic factors. The purpose of the chapter is to study and analyse the peculiarities of socio-economic factors and consumer behaviour based on methods of economic and mathematical analysis and evaluation. It is important to analyse the influence of socio-economic factors, which determine consumer behaviour in the regional economics. Unemployment, prices, average wage, and industry output volume influences Latvia's consumer behaviour features. As a rule, in the region with the highest average wage there are higher expenditures and vice versa. Latvia's consumers' consumption is characterised by significant consumer division into two dominating groups: the rich and the poor. Each of these two social groups has its own consumption peculiarities.

This chapter analyse the status of eunuchs in Islam, compared to other civilizations. One monitor the different types of eunuchs and their evolution from serving in the harem section under early Abbasids to become intrusted with intelligence, insignia among other vital posts. The significant period of caliph al-Amin d. 813, where one see his love affairs with eunuchs and public perception to such behaviour. One do examine how third gendered eunuchs became army commanders, dominating the political affairs of the empire in early 10th cntury. That is in full collaboration with royal mothers, concubines, among other courtiers. How legendary Mu’nis al-Khadim reinstated a caliph, and toppled another for his own interests, although he has no biological future. Such domination by eunuchs, made them occupy almost all top positions in the state. The result, was the declaration of the first sole eunuch as a governor of a Muslim state in 966; Kafur of Egypt. That took place with some resentment from some intellectuals, but chroniclers did not report much dismay to the phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
To learn the game, an aspiring professional wrestler at the Johnny Rodz Unpredictable School of Professional Wrestling must do more than acquire athletic and performative skills. He must also assimilate masculine codes of behaviour to earn the right to enter and perform in the squared circle. Learning the game is an often brutal reality check, an enforced encounter with one’s own physical, intellectual, and emotional limitations experienced through the tedium of repetitive practice and the volatility of other men. It is an exercise in managing the self, as much about learning to submit as it is about dominating, and about learning to accept the demand that one lose as it is about enjoying the pleasure of winning, or at least the appearance of winning. As with many other masculine rites of passage, it is ironic that to prove their manhood wrestlers must first surrender it to the others.

Abstract The chapter recalls the technological leaps in information and communication technology, highlights the importance of China’s full entrance into the world economy, describes China’s state capitalist model, and shows the political impact of the global financial crisis and European debt crisis. It shows the changes in the international political order since the Iron Curtain came down in 1989: the West, led by the United States, overstretched its power, overreacted militarily to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and experienced growing opposition by Russia and China. President Putin warned the West, then employed armed force in Georgia, Ukraine, and Syria. China hardened its stance in the China Seas, took an authoritarian path under the leadership of Xi Jinping, and engages in widespread industrial espionage. The creation of cyberspace has introduced a completely new, anarchic sphere for espionage, crime, and warfare short of armed conflict. Developments in that sphere are treated in detail. The chapter describes how economic sanctions were used ever more frequently since 1989, for political signalling as well as to achieve changes of behaviour. It reports how new forms of sanctions in the international financial system were developed, mainly by the USA, and how they operate. It shows how power politics permeates monetary orders, and how free capital movement and credit-funded speculation triggered financial crises since the 1990s, culminating in the world financial crisis and euro crisis. It highlights the dominating role of the US dollar, and how imprudently the USA used its monetary privilege.

Full textAbstract:
During the twentieth century, many nations – including Russia, Germany, and China – lived under extraordinarily brutal and oppressive governments. Over 100 million civilians died at the hands of these governments, but only a small fraction of their brutality and oppression was necessary to retain power. The main function of the brutality and oppression, rather, was to radically change human behaviour, to transform normal human beings with their selfish concerns into willing servants of their rulers. The goals and methods of these governments were so extreme that they were often described – by friend and foe alike – as ‘total’ or ‘totalitarian’ (Gregor, 2000). The connection between totalitarian goals and totalitarian methods is straightforward. People do not want to radically change their behaviour. To make them change requires credible threats of harsh punishment – and the main way to make such threats credible is to carry them out on a massive scale. Furthermore, even if people believe your threats, some will resist anyway or seem likely to foment resistance later on. Indeed, some are simply unable to change. An aristocrat cannot choose to have proletarian origins, or a Jew to be an Aryan. To handle these recalcitrant problems requires special prisons to isolate dangerous elements, or mass murder to eliminate them. Totalitarian regimes have many structural characteristics in common. Richard Pipes gives a standard inventory: ‘[A]n official all-embracing ideology; a single party of the elect headed by a “leader” and dominating the state; police terror; the ruling party’s control of the means of communication and the armed forces; central command of the economy’. All of these naturally flow from the goal of remaking human nature. The official ideology is the rationale for radical change. It must be ‘all-embracing’ – that is, suppress competing ideologies and values – to prevent people from being side-tracked by conflicting goals. The leader is necessary to create and interpret the official ideology, and control of the means of communication to disseminate it. The party is comprised of the ‘early-adopters’ – the people who claim to have ‘seen the light’ and want to make it a reality.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at Barbet Schroeder’s French-language film Maîtresse (1975), a film about sadomasochism that is also a love story. Schroeder films this potentially sensational subject matter in a matter-of-fact way, his camera calmly – though never coldly – observing the actions of the dominatrix (Bulle Ogier), her clients and her lover (Gérard Depardieu). The calmness of the visual style in this film speaks to what I am reading as a Levinasian openness to the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour, a calmness that performs an ethical acceptance of the Other. The chapter also explores Schroeder’s views on the power of the director and how he does all he can to refuse that power, and relates this to questions of directorial identity. It argues that Schroeder’s lack of an overt directorial identity is a part of what makes him a Levinasian director; in sacrificing his own sense of identity, he allows himself to be open, in a Levinasian way, to the Otherness of his filmic subjects.

Full textAbstract:
The shift of the real communication to the virtual sphere has influenced the nature of interpersonal relations. The article focuses on the characterization of the phenomenon ‘virtual communication', playing the dominating role in the electronic world culture. Drawing from a socio-cultural analysis and the theory of simulacra by J. Baudrillard, the article proposes the classification of the virtual communication types in terms of the nature of human relations and illustrates their peculiarities and features. Using the axiological approach, the author characterizes the phenomenon of the virtual communication and the existential and ethical aspects of the interpersonal relation transfer to the sphere of the information contact. The research resulted in revealing the features and peculiarities of the virtual communication and the benefits and risks for human beings and society.

Full textAbstract:
The ensuing discussion of the evolutionary principles surrounding misinformation describes how misinformation creates similar mindsets and behaviour patterns. The evolutionary process of misinformation is often a battle of opposing entities or forces - the rhythm of domination and subservience, altruism and egoism. For misinformation to succeed it requires all interrelated actors to remain, inadvertently or voluntarily, silent and cooperative with the misinformation sender. The negativity breeds negativity, which creates an unstable organisational environment leading to the collapse of the system supported on a misinformation foundation. Many organisations are based on this rhythm, and Michel Foucault affirms that organisations are repressive systems that require misinformation to control and dominate through knowledge management. The dominating organisational forces often include the use of unethical practices utilizing misinformation to dominate individuals, committees, other organisations, and the market. The hope of survival lies in the rise of Comte’s altruistic and ethical behaviour patterns beginning on an individual level, spreading within the unethical organisation to related organisations, and governments.

Full textAbstract:
Surface tension dominating mixings and interfacial interactions are major phenomena of multiphase flow in microchannels and a variety of micro mixers. Such phenomena are concerned with interfacial interactions not only at fluid-solid interface but also at different fluids/phases interfaces. In this paper, vortices behaviours in a mixing layer of two immiscible fluids are studied numerically. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is employed to simulat surface tension dominated mixing process. As a mesoscopic numerical method, the LBM has many advantages, which include the ability of incorporating microscopic interactions, the simplicity of programming and the nature of parallel algorithm and is therefore ideal for simulating multiphase flow. In this article, the index function methodology of the LBM is employed to simulate surface tension dominated vertices behaviour in a two-dimensional immiscible two-phase mixing layer. The initial interface between two-fluids is evenly distributed around the midpoint in vertical direction. Different velocity perturbations which consist of a basic wave and a series of sub-harmonic waves are forced at the entrance of a rectangular mixing layer of the flow field. By changing the strength of surface tension and the combinations of perturbation waves, the effects of the surface tension and the velocity perturbation on vortices merging are investigated. The vortices contours and frequency spectrums are used to analyse the mechanism of vortices merging. Some interesting phenomena, which do not take place in a single-phase mixing layer, are observed and the corresponding mechanism is discussed in details.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most intriguing aspects of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSEL's) lies in their polarization behaviour, which differs from that of edge-emitting lasers due to the lack of a dominating polarization selection mechanism in the quasi cylindrically symmetric structure. One explanation for the observed polarization switching is of a thermal nature and attributes the switching to the shift (caused by the current heating) of the material gain spectral profile relative to the cavity resonances for the two frequency-split polarization modes1. This model seems to be contradicted by recent experiments, which reported polarization switching at constant active layer temperature (by applying low duty-cycle short pulses on a constant bias level). These authors propose an alternative model based on the spin dynamics between magnetic sublevels in the semiconductor active material2. Nevertheless, thermal effects are recognized to play an important role in the behavior of VCSEL's.

Full textAbstract:
VIV of slender beams at high mode order will appear as a non-stationary response process. Amplitudes, dominating frequency and mode composition are seen to vary in time, but so far we do not have a complete understanding of this process. One approach is to attempt to understand and model the physical mechanism behind the observed behaviour, but an alterative is to establish a simplified model that can be used for fatigue calculations. The purpose of the present paper is to compare the dominant response frequencies that have been observed in large scale tests of a flexible beam to the discrete response frequencies that are predicted by an empirical model for prediction of VIV. Use of wavelet and modal analyses on experimental data makes it possible to describe the time variation of the peak frequency, and hence also the relative period of time this frequency falls into discrete frequency bins. An empirical model is also proposed for calculation of relative duration of competing response frequencies. The observed frequencies can hence be compared to the results from the proposed model. The conclusion is that the model identifies the domination response frequencies with satisfactory accuracy. The range of calculated discrete response frequencies is larger than for the discrete peak frequencies identified from the experiments. But the observed response process has a broader frequency band than the variation of the peaks. Hence, the results from the analysis seem to agree well with observations. Further analyses are, however, still needed in order to verify the proposed model.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a new model for prediction of fatigue damage from VIV in risers. The method will overcome some of the shortcomings of previous methods. A fully 3D model is proposed, “cross-flow” and “in-line” response are predicted, response at higher order harmonic components will be added, and the stochastic nature of the response is accounted for by introducing a time varying envelope function combined with “time sharing” between dominating response frequencies. A model that reflects this behaviour is considered to be more realistic and is more likely to predict lower fatigue damage than the traditional discrete-frequency models. The model will predict a response that will appear as a combination of standing and travelling waves depending on boundary conditions, damping and load distribution. Fatigue damage will therefore become more evenly distributed along the riser, and less concentrated at anti-nodes for (dominating modes) than seen from traditional discrete frequency models. The proposed model needs empirical coefficients for simultaneous IL and CF response. In principle this requires a data base of added mass, excitation and damping coefficients for varying flow conditions and response frequencies, combinations of response amplitudes in both directions, varying phase between the two response components and even the presence of higher order motion components. Such data do not exist. We have therefore proposed to use the limited information we have on this matter at present. Future improvement of the model might therefore be possible if more data becomes available. The new model will be implemented in the VIVANA program and the enhancement of the code is in progress. The paper will present the background of the model, the basic assumption of the new model and a comparison between preliminary results obtained from a preliminary code and model test results. The cases include both 2D uniform current conditions and 3D (non-uniform) current conditions.

ASMEDC, 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/fedsm-icnmm2010-30559.
Full textAbstract:
The pressure drop in microchannels filled with porous media formed by square arrays of cylinders (micro-porous channels) is investigated. Combining the Brinkman equation and the existing models for permeability of regular arrays of cylinders, the pressure drop in the considered micro-porous channels is calculated theoretically. Soft lithography method is used to fabricate several Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microporous-channels with porosities in the range of 0.35 to 0.95, fiber diameters varying from 50 to 400 μm, and channel depth of approximately 100 μm. Distilled water is pushed through the samples using a syringe pump with steady flow rate and the resulting pressure drops are measured for several flow rates. The developed model captures the trends of experimental data for all of the samples. Our analysis indicates that a competing behaviour exists between the permeability and the channels dimensions for controlling the pressure drop. Therefore, the Darcy number should be used to determine the dominating parameter.

Full textAbstract:
First-year sea ice ridges are a major concern for structures operating in the Arctic and will in many cases give the design mooring load. In this paper, a moored conical floater, somewhat similar to the well-known Kulluk, is studied in first-year ridges. The study is based on model tests performed at HSVA in several ridges with different properties. Mooring forces and floater response resulting from interaction with different ridges were compared with respect to ridge properties, ridge behaviour and simulated ice management. Clearance of accumulated rubble upstream the structure was the dominating physical process in the ridge-structure interaction. Accumulation of rubble caused large mooring forces. The amount of accumulated rubble depended on the ridge cross-sectional area, thus the mooring forces increased with ridge cross-sectional area. Large mooring forces were also experienced after the initial position of the ridge was passed due to difficulties with clearing of accumulated rubble.

Full textAbstract:
In order to separately describe the dominating loss mechanisms in pre-swirled cooling air delivery systems, discharge, temperature and velocity measurements were performed for numerous designs. Whereas pre-swirl nozzles, as first component, were characterized by their discharge coefficients, total pressure losses occurring at the inlet of the receiver holes were correlated depending on the incident angle of the cooling flow. To quantify losses generated inside the rotor-stator gap, flow velocity data, acquired by means of 3D PIV, were compared to total temperature measurements. In addition the influence of wall friction and mixing losses due to the strong velocity gradients inside the preswirl chamber was discussed by means of a simple loss model. Finally, dimensionless loss coefficients, discharge behaviour and expected cooling temperature can be predicted for a family of realistic pre-swirl systems. Moreover, this detailed description of the losses provides a methodology to quantify the impact of individual loss sources on the global efficiency of the pre-swirl system, thus allowing improved designs.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Aluminium as a structural material is known for its lightweight, which facilitates easy transportation and installation, and reduces foundation requirements. However, this lightweight characteristic makes it sensitive to excitations from vehicular traffic leading to dominating dynamic design over the static one. The dynamic design of highway bridges by the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CSA S6-19) is based on the concept of equivalent dynamic amplification factors (DAF), which were derived largely based on the observations from bridges constructed with traditional materials such as concrete, wood and steel. It is prudent to evaluate whether these factors are applicable to lightweight bridges made with extruded aluminium decks. In addition, since road roughness plays an important role in the dynamic behaviour of a bridge, it is important to consider the influence of roughness on the bridge vibration response. The objective of this research is to investigate the dynamic behaviour of aluminium deck-on-steel girder bridges under vehicular loads considering the effect of road roughness, and consequently evaluate the applicability of the current design DAFs for such structures. For this purpose, numerical models have been developed in Abaqus for a range of selected bridge configurations and loading parameters and subsequently the key observations and conclusions from the numerical analysis have been presented in this paper.</p>
