Full textAbstract:
Uniform open-channel flow in a pipe of circular cross-section with a flat bed, is studied by experiment and numerical modelling. A pipe of diameter D= 305 nun, and mild bed slopes So = 4.63 x 10-4and 9.27 x 10-4was, studied - the former slope only by experiment. The bed thicknesses( e), e/D = 0.141, and 0.285 were studied experimentally and numerically, with e/D = 0.020, studied only numerically. Five flow depths (Y. ) were studied; (Y. +e)/D = 0.3,0.4 (and 0.416), 0.5,0.667, and 0.751. A smooth bed and bed roughnessesd,5 o= 0.93,4.20, and 1.71 mm were also used. Mono-chromatic Laser Doppler Anemometry (ILDA) was used to measure the local mean longitudinal (primary), and vertical velocities, and their respective turbulence intensifies. The primary velocity contours display dipped maxima and bulging towards the comer. The inwardly-curving side-walls slightly modify these contours. In each channel half there is a surface cell and a bottom cell. These move high momentum fluid away from the centreline towards the comer zone. The primmy and secondary flows are largely similar to those in rectangular channels. The wall shear force ratios obtained by the Vanoni-Brooks separation technique follow the empirical trend from various channel types. Similarity laws for the longitudinal mean velocity in the comer-influenced zones are proposed. The numerical model is based on the SIMPLE technique, and computes the flow on a Cartesian grid, using a non-linear k-e turbulence model with wall functions. The model boundary conditions were modified to reflect the effects of the comers, the curved side-wall, and a roughened bed. Model predictions of the primary mean velocities, and centreline turbulence intensities, are close to the experimental and empirical distributions. Primary velocity predictions for e/D = 0.020 compare well to the case of a clear pipe flowing part-fiffl. The predicted secondary flows are largely similar to the experimental patterns. Usage of a small mesh size (e. g. when (YO + e)/D < 0.5) results in side-wall points lying within the larninar sublayer, leading to inaccurate secondary flow prediction by the k-e model. As in rectangular channels, the predicted local boundary shear stress decreases from the centreline along the bed and minimises at the comer. On the side-walls, the model overpredicts the local boundary shear stresses. Nonetheless, computed wall shear force ratio values follow the empirical trend.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of this practice based research was to develop, for the first time, a new combination of knitting methods which created knitted garments for larger size women that uniquely did not rely on stretch to fit their body shape. Through working with real women, an innovative capsule collection of custom-fitted knitwear toiles incorporating 3D knitted shape was produced which positively demonstrated the originality, effectiveness and significance ofthe outcomes. This research therefore focused on developing knitwear with an improved fit for the individual body shapes of a cohort of women over a UK size 16. In 2004, publicly available information from SizeUK indicated that the average women's size in the UK was a size 16. However following a literature search, and in conjunction with primary data from this research, it became evident that women over a size 16 were experiencing dissatisfaction with clothing fit. This disjunction formed an early driver for the research idea and helped to form the research framework that spanned three main areas: clothing fit, larger female body shape and mass knitwear manufacture. The research has been necessarily set in the wider context of debates on larger women's self-image and their relationship with fashion. Interviews and an online survey provided primary data on clothing fit, clothing choices, shopping experience, body image, body cathexis and self perception in relation to clothing. A case study research method was developed that resolved ethical issues which arose when working with participants. Prior to knit sampling, a hierarchy of desirable technical and aesthetic knit qualities was established, and a design process comparable to that in industry adopted in order to place this research in a 'real' commercial context. The knitwear was developed from manually acquired measurements and 3D body scanned data, using specific measurement protocols developed by the research for measuring larger size. Objective and subjective evaluation of the knitwear employing wrinkle-analysis, fit and comfort tests informed a final design development process that ran parallel to commercial examples. Amongst the final outcomes of this research is a library of visual digital templates derived from the knit programming, which offers a transferable new resource for future industrial developments of this process. Their particular and unique value is to contribute information to the emerging field of mass-customisation of knitwear and larger sized clothing as recommended for EU development by the SERVIVE report of 2010. This research concluded, as a significant contribution to new knowledge in the field of larger sized fashion knitwear, that improving the fit of knitwear for larger women by removing the fit-by-stretch factor (a major style and psychological drawback for these consumers), enhanced wearing experience and enthused the wearer towards the garment.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing awareness of sustainability in the concrete industry forces structural design and executionto focus on avoiding costly and unpredictable maintenance action, instead paying higher attention todamage prevention by direct actions on early stages of production. One of such approaches, whichdeals with the problem of freezing and thawing deterioration, is intentional air bubble introductionto the concrete mix. However, the mechanism of air entrainment in concrete can be negativelyaffected on different stages of production by many factors including cement type, admixture dosage,casting conditions or mixing procedure. Therefore, reliable tools for the end-product evaluationought to be considered. The experimental study, presented in this work, focuses on understandingthe blast furnace slag (BFS) influence as well as admixtures’ dosage effect on pore structure ofhardened concrete. Three types of cement were evaluated, including ordinary portland cement(OPC) and two types of CEM III cements with different BFS percentage. The optimal amountsof air entraining agent (AEA) and super plasticizer (SP) were chosen and later reduced in orderto evaluate their impact on total air content, spacing factor and specific surface of the air voids.The main method chosen for this evaluation was the use of an office flat-bed scanner to acquireimages and application of BubbleCounter software for the analysis of the air void structure. Thisapproach is based on linear traverse method and requires special surface treatment for contrastenhancement. Specimens for the analysis were cut from hardened concrete cubes and polishedto achieve a flat surface. The samples were later treated with black ink and zinc oxide paste toachieve a clear contrast between white voids and black paste/aggregate area. In order to estimatethe accuracy of this method, more conventional tools such as pressurised gauge method and air voidanalyser were applied for comparison. Resulted mixtures showed significant differences in air voidproperties between OPC and BFS containing concrete, with the latter being less affected by AEAdosage reduction. Changes in spacing factor and specific surface were also registered; however,their deterioration did not follow the same pattern as that of total air content. No significantdeviation between the two cements containing BFS was observed. An interesting effect of the usedpolycarboxylate ether SP on the AEA reactivity was registered, showing deterioration of air voidproperties with the decrease of plasticizer amount. Comparison of the results from different air voidanalysis methods, suggested an overall agreement on the measured air void system changes due tochanging the AEA content. However, the BubbleCounter software tended to slightly overestimatethe material’s resistance to freeze and thaw phenomenon, giving the most optimistic values inspacing factor and specific surface of air voids.Betongindustrins ökande medvetenhet om hållbarhet leder till att man inom dimensionering ochutförande fokuserar mot att undvika kostnadskrävande och oförutsedda underhållsåtgärder ochistället lägga större vikt på att förebygga skador i produktionens tidiga skeden. En av dessaåtgärder, som hanterar problemet frostnedbrytning, är en medveten inblandning av luftbubblor ibetongen. Mekanismen för att skapa luftporssystemet kan emellertid bli negativt påverkad underolika skeden av produktionen av många faktorer såsom cementtyp, tillsatsmedelsdos, gjutvillkoroch blandningsordning. Därför behöver man reflektera över pålitliga verktyg för utvärderingenav slutprodukten. Den experimentella studien, som presenteras i detta arbete, fokuserar motförståelse hur slagg och tillsatsmedelsdos påverkar den hårdnade betongens luftporssystem. Tretyper av cement utvärderades, dels ett normalt portlandcement, dels två typer av CEM III-cementmed olika andelar av slagg. Optimala mängder av luftporbildare och flyttillsatsmedel valdesmen reducerades senare för att undersöka deras inverkan på totalt luftinnehåll samt luftporernasavståndsfaktor och specifika yta. Den huvudsakliga metoden som valdes för denna utvärderingvar en flatbäddsscanner (kontorsmodell) för att ta bilder och användningen av en programvaravid namn BubbleCounter för att analysera luftporssystemet. Detta tillvägagångssätt baseras påanalys av tvärgående linjer och kräver en speciell behandling av ytan för att åstadkomma kontraster.Provkroppar för analysen sågades ut ur hårdnade betongkuber och polerades för att erhålla en jämnyta. Provkropparna var senare behandlade med svart bläck och zinkoxidpasta för att åstadkomma entydlig kontrast mellan de vita porerna och den svarta ytan av cementpasta och ballast. För att studeranoggrannheten hos denna metod användes som jämförelse även mer konventionella metoder sommätningar med trycksatta givare och luftporsanalys. De framtagna blandningarna visade signifikantaskillnader i luftporernas egenskaper mellan betong med normalt portlandcement och betong medslaggcement, där den senare påverkades i mindre grad av reduktioner i dosen luftporbildare.Förändringar I avståndsfaktor och specifik yta noterades också men försämringen följde inte sammamönster som den för totala luftinnehållet. Ingen signifikant skillnad mellan de två cementeninnehållande slagg kunde observeras. En intressant inverkan av det använda polykarboxylateterbaseradeflyttillsatsmedlet på luftporbildarens reaktivitet noterades. Den visade en försämringav luftporernas egenskaper vid en reduktion av mängden flyttillsatsmedel. En jämförelse avresultaten från de olika metoderna för luftporsanalys indikerade en övergripande överensstämmelsegällande de uppmätta luftporssystemens förändring p.g.a. förändringar i mängden luftporbildare.Programvaran BubbleCounter tenderade emellertid att något överskatta materialets motstånd motfrostnedbrytning med de mest optimistiska värdena för luftporernas avståndsfaktor och specifikayta.

Full textAbstract:
This research is part of a major project with a stimulus that rose from the need to manage a large number of ageing bridges in low traffic volume roads (LTVR) in Australia. The project investigated, designed and consequently constructed, involved replacing an ageing super-structure of a 10m span bridge with a disused Flat-bed Rail Wagon (FRW). This research, therefore, is developed on the premises that the FRW can be adopted as the main structural system for the bridges in LTVR network. The main focus of this research is to present two alternate deck wearing systems (DWS) as part of the design of the FRW as road bridge deck conforming to AS5100 (2004).
The bare FRW structural components were first examined for their adequacy (ultimate and serviceability) in resisting the critical loads specified in AS5100(2004). Two options of DWSs were evaluated and their effects on the FRW examined. The first option involved usage of timber DWS; the idea of this option was to use all the primary and secondary members of the FRW in load sharing and to provide additional members where weaknesses in the original members arose. The second option involved usage of reinforced concrete DWS with only the primary members of the FRW sharing the AS5100 (2004) loading. This option inherently minimised the risk associated with any uncertainty of the secondary members to their structural adequacy.
This thesis reports the design phases of both options with conclusions of the selection of the ideal option for better structural performance, ease of construction and cost. The comparison carried out here focuses on the distribution of the traffic load by the FRW as a superstructure. Advantages and disadvantages highlighting cost comparisons and ease of constructability of the two systems are also included.

Full textAbstract:
Pythium diseases are common in the greenhouse production of tobacco transplants and can cause up to 70% seedling loss in hydroponic (float-bed) greenhouses. However, the symptoms and consequences of Pythium diseases are often variable among these greenhouses. A tobacco transplant greenhouse survey was conducted in 2017 in order to investigate the sources of this variability, especially the composition and distribution of Pythium communities within greenhouses. The survey revealed twelve Pythium species. Approximately 80% of the surveyed greenhouses harbored Pythium in at least one of four sites within the greenhouse, including the center walkway, weeds, but especially bay water and tobacco seedlings. Pythium dissotocum, followed by P. myriotylum, were the most common species. Pythium myriotylum, P. coloratum, and P. dissotocum were aggressive pathogens that suppressed seed germination and caused root rot, stunting, foliar chlorosis, and death of tobacco seedlings. Pythium aristosporum, P. porphyrae, P. torulosum, P. inflatum, P. irregulare, P. catenulatum, and a different isolate of P. dissotocum, were weak pathogens, causing root symptoms without affecting the upper part of tobacco seedlings. Pythium adhaerens, P. attrantheridium, and P. pectinolyticum did not affect tobacco seeds or seedlings. The consequences of Pythium infection were more likely to be severe when they occurred during seed germination than at seedling emergence, or after plant stem elongation when seedling roots had started to grow into underlying nutrient solutions, depending on the species of Pythium. High and low variation was observed among isolates of P. dissotocum and P. myriotylum, respectively. Pythium myriotylum co-existed with multiple other Pythium or oomycete species in the same environments within tobacco greenhouses, and significant in vitro and/or in vivo interactions between P. myriotylum and some naturally co-existing species were revealed. Pythium porphyrae may have the potential to protect tobacco seeds and seedlings from P. myriotylum infection. Greenhouse Pythium control trials identified ethaboxam, mefenoxam, and copper ionization as potentially promising alternatives to etridiazole for Pythium disease management in tobacco transplant production. The outcomes of this project provide useful new information to better understand the composition, distribution, and diversity of Pythium communities in tobacco transplant greenhouses and to improve Pythium disease management for tobacco transplant production.Doctor of Philosophy
Pythium diseases are common in tobacco transplant production and can cause up to 70% seedling losses in hydroponic (float-bed) tobacco transplant greenhouses. However, little is known about the composition and distribution of Pythium communities in tobacco transplant greenhouses. This project began with a tobacco transplant greenhouse survey, in which 12 Pythium species were recovered from center walkways, weeds, greenhouse bay water, and tobacco seedlings. Pythium dissotocum and P. myriotylum were the two types (species) of Pythium most commonly found in the survey. Pythium myriotylum, P. coloratum, and P. dissotocum were aggressive pathogens that suppressed seed germination and caused root rot, stunting, foliar chlorosis, and death of tobacco seedlings. Pythium aristosporum, P. porphyrae, P. torulosum, P. inflatum, P. irregulare, P. catenulatum, and an isolate of P. dissotocum, were weak pathogens causing root symptoms without affecting the upper part of tobacco seedlings. Pythium adhaerens, P. attrantheridium, and P. pectinolyticum did not affect tobacco seeds or seedlings. The symptoms caused by infection by Pythium species differed among host (tobacco) growth stages, except for the most aggressive species, P. myriotylum. High levels of variation were observed among isolates of P. dissotocum, in terms of vegetative growth rate (on V8 agar media) and aggressiveness on tobacco seed and seedlings. Pythium myriotylum was found to co-exist with multiple other Pythium or oomycete species (neighbor isolates) in the same environments within tobacco greenhouses. Significant interactions between P. myriotylum and some neighbor isolates were revealed, and these interactions significantly affect the consequences of P. myriotylum infection of tobacco seeds. Greenhouse Pythium control trials identified two chemical water treatments (ethaboxam and mefenoxam), and a non-chemical water treatment (copper ionization) as potentially promising alternatives to the current standard Pythium control (etridiazole) for Pythium disease management in tobacco transplant production. The outcomes of this project provide useful new information to both better understand the composition, distribution, and diversity of Pythium communities in tobacco transplant greenhouses and to improve Pythium disease management for tobacco transplant production.

Full textAbstract:
Human body temperature is an important indicator of physical performance and condition in terms of comfort, heat or cold stress. The aim of this research was to develop Temperature Sensing Fabric (TSF) for continuous temperature measurement in healthcare applications. The study covers the development and manufacture of TSF by embedding fine metallic wire into the structure of textile material using a commercial computerised knitting machine. The operational principle of TSF is based on the inherent propensity of a metal wire to respond to changes in temperature with variation in its electrical resistance. Over 60 TSF samples were developed with combinations of different sensing elements, two inlay densities and highly textured polyester yarn as the base material. TSF samples were created using either bare or insulated wires with a range of diameters from 50 to 150 μm and metal wires of nickel, copper, tungsten, and nickel coated copper. In order to investigate the Temperature-Resistance (T-R) relationship of TSF samples for calibration purposes, a customised test rig was developed and monitoring software was created in the LabVIEW environment, to record the temperature and resistance signals simultaneously. TSF samples were tested in various thermal environments, under laboratory conditions and in practical wear trials, to analyse the relationship between the temperature and resistance of the sensing fabric and to develop base line specifications such as sensitivity, resistance ratio, precision, nominal resistance, and response time; the influence of external parameters such as humidity and strain were also monitored. The regression uncertainty was found to be less than in ±0.1°C; the repeatability uncertainty was found to be less than ±0.5°C; the manufacturing uncertainty in terms of nominal resistance was found to be ± 2% from its mean. The experimental T-R relationship of TSF was validated by modelling in the thermo-electrical domain in both steady and transient states. A maximum error of 0.2°C was found between the experimental and modelled T-R relationships. TSF samples made with bare wire sensing elements showed slight variations in their resistance during strain tests, however, samples made with insulated sensing elements did not demonstrate any detectable strain-dependent-resistance error. The overall thermal response of TSF was found to be affected by basal fabric thickness and mass; the effect of RH was not found to be significant. TSF samples with higher-resistance sensing elements performed better than lower-resistance types. Furthermore, TSF samples made using insulated wire were more straightforward to manufacture because of their increased tensile strength and exhibited better sensing performance than samples made with bare wire. In all the human body wear trials, under steady-state and dynamic conditions both sensors followed the same trends and exhibited similar movement artifacts. When layers of clothing were worn over the sensors, the difference between the response of the TSF and a high-precision reference temperature were reduced by the improved isothermal conditions near the measurement site.

Boundary Element Method progress into research foR study pile groups.
This method including the non-linear conduct of the soil by a hyperbolic
modulus reduction curve; the non-linear response of rc pile section. The non-
linear behaviour of soil is modelled using a hyperbolic modulus reduction
curve; the non-linear response of rcc pile sections is modelled using a
hyperbolic modulus reduction curve, also considering tension stiffening's
impact; and the effect of suction is modelled using rising the stiffness of
shallow portions of soil. The pile group shadowing effect was analysed by a
method comparable to that suggested in the Strain Wedge Model for pile
group studies.In comparison to more complicated codes like VERSAT-P3D,
PLAXIS 3D, and FLAC-3D, the suggested BEM approach requires less
computing effort and produces accurate results utilising data from a normal
site inquiry. A study of measured and calculated result for a horizontal loaded
fixed-head pile group made up of rcc bored piles is provided . The findings of the
recommended approach are found to be quite similar to those obtained in the field.
To determine the ultimate lateral capacity and deflection under working loads,
all tests were carried out to failure. When compared to straight shaft piles
, test findings show a non linear response, a significant increase in lateral
capacity, and a reduction in deflections at working loads .

Full textAbstract:
Most engineering fields often encounter challenges in material, performance, and time efficiency. Truss design is a subject many structural engineers confront in their careers. Optimization is an effective approach in solving preliminary designs of truss structures. This paper studies two different multi-objective optimization algorithms, the particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and the bee algorithm (MOBA), to optimize a simply supported flat-truss bridge designed by California State University, Long Beach’s Steel Bridge team for the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Spring 2018 competition. The variables, randomly selected from a continuous domain, are the top chord area, bottom chord area, web member area, and the center-to-center distance between the top and bottom chords. The optimized objectives are the weight and deflections of the bridge for the six load combinations stipulated in AISC’s rules. Both algorithms are calibrated using recommended parameter values derived from the parametric studies conducted. To compare their effectiveness, the recommended parameters were selected so that run-times for both optimization codes were similar. Both algorithms generated optimized solutions to the multi-objective truss problem, but MOPSO exhibited more, and better, solutions in a slightly longer run-time than MOBA.

Krüger, Tom. "Zum Einfluss der Lateralität in zyklischen Sportarten bei Nachwuchsathleten." Phd thesis, Universität Potsdam, 2005. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2005/581/.
Full textAbstract:
Die Ausprägung der Lateralität der Körperextremitäten steht in engem Zusammenhang mit der Hemisphärenspezialisierung des menschlichen Gehirns. Die Lateralität und die Dominanz einer Hemisphäre mit ihren Auswirkungen auf die Leistungsfähigkeit ist ein bislang unvollständig untersuchtes Phänomen im Sport.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll daher die Bedeutung der Seitigkeitsausprägung im Rahmen sportlicher Bewegungsabläufe geprüft werden. Sowohl bei Messungen im "Freiwasser", als auch in der "Kanu–Gegenstromanlage" im Bereich des Kanurennsportes werden seit einigen Jahren sich in Qualität und Quantität unterscheidende Kraft–Zeit–Funktionen der linken und rechten Körperseite beobachtet, die zwar dokumentiert, aber bislang ungeprüft in ihrer Bedeutung als leistungsbeeinflussend angenommen werden.Im Zeitraum von Oktober 1997 bis Oktober 2000 wurden 275 Kajakfahrer und Canadierfahrer im Alter zwischen 11 und 20 Jahren zweimal jährlich (März und Oktober) mit einem umfangreichen trainings- und bewegungswissenschaftlichen sowie biomechanischen Instrumentarium untersucht. Die Athleten gehören zum Nachwuchs- und Anschlusskader des LKV Brandenburg. Schwerpunkt der Fragestellung ist der Zusammenhang von auftretenden Kraftdifferenzen zwischen der linken und rechten oberen Extremität und sportartspezifischen Leistungen unter Laborbedingungen und Feldbedingungen. Es wurden objektive Daten zu ausgewählten Kraftfähigkeiten der oberen Arm–Beuge–Schlinge an einem Kraftdiagnosegerät, Kraftverläufe am Messpaddel während Leistungsüberprüfungen im "Kanu–Gegenstromkanal" und im "Freiwasser" über 250 m und 2.000 m im Jahresverlauf erhoben.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen Trend der im Altersverlauf ansteigenden Differenz der Mittelwertunterschiede in der Maximalkraft zwischen dem linken und rechten Arm. Bei bestehenden Maximalkraftdifferenzen zwischen linker und rechter oberer Extremität in der Längsschnittgruppe liegen die Leistungen mit dem rechten Arm deutlich über den Kraftleistungen des linken Arms und sind nicht zufällig. Mit steigendem Maximalkraftniveau nimmt überraschenderweise auch die Differenz der Maximalkraft zwischen der linken und rechten oberen Extremität trotz bilateralen Trainings zu. Die Ergebnisse der EMG–Analyse bestätigen, dass die Maximalkraft leistungsbestimmend für die Bootsleistungen ist. In den EMG–Signalverläufen werden die unterschiedlichen Belastungen der Labor– und Feldbedingungen mit individuellen Charakteristika nachgezeichnet. Deutlich unterscheiden sich die Kraftverläufe im "Freiwasser" gegenüber den Kraftverläufen in der "Kanu–Gegenstromanlage".
Bei der vorliegenden Untersuchung handelt es sich um eine erste empirische Arbeit zur Auswirkung von Seitigkeitsunterschieden in zyklischen Sportarten auf der Expertiseebene. In der Untersuchung wurden methodische Verfahren eingesetzt, die dem derzeitigen Forschungsstand in der Trainings- und Bewegungswissenschaft entsprechen. Neben varianzanalytischen Verfahren der Auswertung zur Darstellung von Mittelwertunterschieden und Zusammenhänge prüfenden Verfahren wurden ebenso explorative EMG–Analysen angewandt. Die Ergebnisse aus dem Längsschnitt belegen bei ausschließlich rechtshändigen Probanden, dass die Schlussfolgerung von bevorzugter Extremität auf ein höheres Kraftniveau nicht eineindeutig ist. Zwischen den oberen Extremitäten bei Kanurennsportlern bestehen nicht nur zufällige Kraftunterschiede, trotz des bilateralen Trainings. Kontrovers diskutiert wird die Beziehung von bevorzugter Extremität und der Höhe der Kraftentfaltung. Im Alltagsverständnis wird häufig angenommen, dass ein höheres Maximalkraftniveau in der Extremität vorliegen muss, die auch die bevorzugte (z.B. Schreibhand) ist (WIRTH & LIPHARDT, 1999). Diese Eindeutigkeit konnte in der durchgeführten Untersuchung nicht bestätigt werden. Wie die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung deutlich zeigen, nimmt mit der höheren Maximalkraft aber auch die Differenz der Kraftleistungen zwischen dem linken und rechten Arm bei bilateral ausgerichtetem Training zu. FISCHER (1988; 1992) wies nach, dass sich ein Training auf der subdominanten Seite in einem kontralateralen Leistungstransfer auf der dominanten Seite positiv auswirkte. Erkenntnisse von KUHN (1986) und HOLLMANN & HETTINGER (2000) unterstützen nachhaltig die Ergebnisse. Die EMG–Ergebnisse zeigen die individuelle Reaktion auf die Belastungsanforderungen. Die elektromyographischen Daten beziehen sich auf den neuromuskulären Komplex. Somit sprechen hohe Amplitudenwerte einerseits für eine hohe Innervation der beteiligten motorischen Einheiten an der Bewegungsausführung und andererseits für einsetzende Ermüdungserscheinungen im Muskel. In Bezug auf die Ermüdung der oberen Extremitätenmuskeln der rechten und linken Seite beschreiben WILLIAMS, SHARMA & BILODEAU (2002) keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen der dominanten und nichtdominanten Handseite.
The development of body extremity laterality is closely linked to hemisphere specialization of the human brain. Laterality, the dominance of one hemisphere, and the effect of these two phenomena on sports performance capacity have yet to be described in detail. The question arises as to whether performance differences between paired extremities and the attendant extent of this difference might determine performance levels. In flat water canoeing, measurements in flat water as well as in the canoe counter current system reveal force time functions of the left and right body side that differ in quality and quantity. These differences have been documented for a number of years. However, so far their influence on performance has been presumed to exist and no attempt has been made to explain them.
During the period from October 1997 to October 2000, 275 kayakers and canoeists between the ages of 11 and 20 were examined twice annually (March and October) using extensive training scientific, kinetic and biomechanical equipment. The athletes were members of a state-wide canoeing club.
The main focus of the study was the correlation between (a) force differences arising between the left and right upper extremity and (b) athletic performance under laboratory conditions and field conditions. The following data was gathered: selected strength capacities of the upper arm flexor at a static strength measurement system (Wick & Krüger, 1998), force curves at the measuring paddle during exercise tests using the canoe counter current system and canoeing times in flat water over 250 m and 2,000 m during the course of the year.
The results of the static maximum force test showed that the difference in maximum force between the left and right arm increases with age. In the cross-sectional group, maximum force differences were observed between the left and right upper extremity; in terms of strength performance the right arm was clearly superior to the left arm. Despite bilateral training, contrary to what might be expected, the difference in maximum force between the left and right upper extremity increases with rising maximum force level. The proportional relationship remains unaffected by this. The evaluation of force parameters from the longitudinal and cross-sectional standpoint does not provide any clear indication of performance dominance of a specific extremity. The differences of the force parameters between the left and right upper extremity as measured in the canoe counter current system and in flat water are not stable. An analysis of EMG results confirmed that the maximum force has a decisive effect on canoeing performance. Force curves in flat water differ markedly from force curves in the canoe counter current system.
The present investigation is a first empirical paper on the effect of laterality differences on expert athletes in cyclic sports. The methodologies applied during the investigation correspond to the present state of research in the fields of training science and human kinetics. Variance-analytical methods of evaluation for the representation of average value differences, procedures that search connections and explorative EMG analyses were used. Results from the longitudinal section indicate that with exclusively right-handed subjects the preferred extremity cannot biuniquely be shown to have a higher force level. This result is confirmed by the cross-sectional findings. Despite bilateral training, force differences are observed between the upper extremities of canoeists. However, there is ongoing controversy about the relationship between preferred extremity and the extent of force development. The preferred extremity (e.g. the writing hand) is commonly believed to possess the higher maximum force level (Wirth & Liphardt, 1999). Nonetheless, this assumption could not be confirmed during the present investigation. However, the results of this investigation clearly show that as maximum force increases, the difference in strength performance between the left and right arm increases, including when bilateral training is applied. Fischer (1988; 1992) showed that training the subdominant side positively affected the dominant side. This is attributable to contralateral achievement transfer. These results are strongly supported by the findings of Kuhn (1986) and Hollmann & Hettinger (2000). The proportional difference remains stable over time with the athletes studied. This too supports the concept that the preferred extremity benefits from positive transfer effects. The electromyographic data pertains to the neuromuscular complex. Thus high amplitude values suggest on one hand a high innervation of the motor units involved in the performance of the movement and on the other hand the first signs of muscle fatigue. Williams, Sharma & Bilodeau (2002) found no significant differences between fatigue levels in the upper extremity muscles of the dominant and non-dominant extremity.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD aims to create a reading strategy for the subject of the female boxer in order to intervene in the ways in which this figure is utilized and understood in contemporary culture. Ultimately, I am positing the limits of social constructivism and social science as a way to understand the boxing body and, specifically, the female boxer. Readings arising out of the philosophy of phenomenology, among other areas of thought, are more useful as a way to understand and capture this. Art can draw on the difference and also the intersection between these understandings, as well as add new meanings to our thinking around the subject. I am considering the female boxer as a cipher to explore questions around the representation and vulnerability of moving bodies. My interest is in the contradictions present in the plurality of the subject; on the one hand, a political need exists to count the particular body of the female boxer as a body that matters; on the other hand, the female boxing body is an example of physicality and potentiality that is not totally captured by current semantic, cultural definition. I will discuss depictions and conceptualizations that exist both in the sociological definition of the boxing body and in methods of artistic representation, with the intention of articulating an understanding of the subject that allows for its inconclusivity as a lived body. Brian Massumi writes, “in motion, a body is in an immediate, unfolding relation to its own non-present potential to vary.” The charge of indeterminacy as carried by a body is inseparable from it, as long as the body is dynamic and alive. This thesis describes, addresses, and challenges the ways in which the female boxing body is functioning and being defined as a sociological signifier, specifically the practice of gender construction as it frames the boxing body in art and theory. Via an understanding of the female boxer as vacillating, as being both irresolute and situated, my project engages with particular works of contemporary art that are attempting an alteration of our existing interpretations of the subject. My ultimate intention is to elucidate the becoming female boxer as a generative prism, and to investigate the ways in which art could be engaging with the ensuing spectrum.

Full textAbstract:
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist es, die Temperaturbeständigkeit von bikontinuierlichen Kompositmembranen bestehend aus Zeolith 4A und Visiomer HEMATMDI zu überprüfen und das Verhalten ihrer Permeanz im Verlauf der Temperaturerhöhung zu untersuchen. Weiterhin wird ihre Verwendbarkeit für technisch und industriell relevante Prozesse der Gastrocknung nachgewiesen.
Zunächst wird thermogravimetrisch untersucht, bei welcher Temperatur Zersetzungserscheinungen an der polymeren Komponente auftreten. Anschließend wird thermogravimetrisch der Wassergehalt von Zeolith 4A im Bereich dieser Temperatur bestimmt. Hierauf folgen Permeationsmessungen mit Sauerstoff und Stickstoff an der bikontinuierlichen Kompositmembran. Die Temperatur wird hierbei schrittweise bis knapp unter die Zersetzungstemperatur des Polymers erhöht.
Die Eignung der Membranen zur Gastrocknung wird exemplarisch an der Trocknung von Erdgas gezeigt. Es werden die Permeanzen für Wasserdampf und Methan als Hauptbestandteil von Erdgas mittels Einzelgasmessungen experimentell bestimmt. Aus diesen Permeanzen errechnet sich die ideale Selektivität der bikontinuierlichen Kompositmembran von Wasserdampf gegenüber
Methan. Mit ihrer Hilfe lässt sich die Eignung der Membran zur Trocknung von Erdgas abschätzen.The aim of this work is to study the temperature resistance of bicontinuous composite membranes, composed zeolite 4A and Visiomer HEMATMDI, and their permeances with rising temperatures. Furthermore their suitability for gas drying is investigated.

Full textAbstract:
Einleitung: Die Dysbalance proangiogener (Placental Growth Factor = PlGF) und antiangiogener Faktoren (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 = sFlt-1) gilt heute als pathophysiologische Grundlage bei der Entstehung einer Präeklampsie (PE), eines HELLP-Syndroms (Haemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets) oder einer intrauterinen Wachstumsretardierung (IUGR). Der sFlt1/PlGF-Quotient, ein sensitiver und robuster diagnostischer Marker, ist bereits Wochen vor der Krankheitsmanifestation erhöht. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Wertigkeit des sFlt1/PlGFQuotienten als prädiktiven Faktor bei Risikopatientinnen zu untersuchen. Patienten und Methode: In diese prospektive Studie wurden 68 Patientinnen mit einer Einlingsschwangerschaft und mindestens einem Risikofaktor für das Auftreten einer PE, eines HELLP-Syndrom oder einer IUGR im Schwangerschaftsverlauf eingeschlossen. Die Patientinnen wurden je nach Verlauf der Schwangerschaft in eine Gruppe mit Symptomen (Fallgruppe) und eine Gruppe ohne Symptome (Kontrollgruppe) für eine der oben genannten Erkrankungen unterteilt. Der sFlt1/PlGF-Quotient wurde bei der Aufnahme in die Studie und im weiteren Schwangerschaftsverlauf bestimmt. Ergebnisse: Eine PE, ein HELLP-Syndrom oder eine IUGR trat bei 41 % der Risikopatientinnen auf… Der absolute Wert des sFlt-1/PlGF-Quotienten war nur bei der Gruppe mit Symptomen auf ≥ 85 erhöht und zeigte sich in der 25 + 0-31 + 0 SSW (p = 0,005) und ab der 35 + 0 SSW (p = 0,044) als prädiktiver Faktor für eine PE, ein HELLP-Syndrom oder eine IUGR. Ab 7–10 Wochen vor der Entbindung war, in der Fallgruppe stärker als in der Kontrollgruppe, ein Anstieg des sFlt1/PlGFQuotienten zu beobachten. Dieser war 0–2 Wochen vor der Entbindung bei beiden Gruppen (Kontrollgruppe (MW ± SA 66,9 ± 134) vs. Fallgruppe (MW ± SA 393,3 ± 147,4, p = 0,021) am ,stärksten und zeigte sich ebenfalls als prädiktiver Faktor für eine der genannten Schwangerschaftserkrankungen (p = 0,025). Schlussfolgerung: Bei Risikoschwangeren kann der sFlt1/ PlGF-Quotient für die Einschätzung des individuellen Risikos für eine PE, ein HELLP-Syndrom oder eine IUGR im Schwangerschaftsverlauf genutzt werden. Wiederholte Messungen des Quotienten versprechen eine risikoangepasste Betreuung dieser PatientinnenBackground: A dysbalance of proangiogenic [placental growth factor (PlGF)] and antiangiogenic [soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)] proteins is known to cause the symptoms of preeclampsia (PE), HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). An increased sFlt-1/ PlGF ratio ≥ 85 is considered a reliable diagnostic marker. Altered sFlt1 and PlGF concentrations can be detected several weeks prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. In this study we analysed the role of the sFlt1/PlGF ratio as a predictive marker for preeclampsia in a high-risk patient group. Patients and materials: We prospectively included 68 singleton pregnancies with at least one risk factor for PE, HELLP syndrome or IUGR. During the study the patients were divided into one group with symptoms (patient group) and one group without symptoms (control group) for the above-mentioned diseases. The sFlt1/PlGF ratios were measured on admission and during the course of pregnancy. Results: During pregnancy 41 % of patients developed PE, HELLP syndrome or IUGR. An increase of the absolute value of the sFlt1/PlGF ratio ≥ 85 was only observed in the patient group and was found to be a predictive factor for PE, HELLP syndrome or IUGR at 25 + 0 to 31 + 0 weeks of gestation (p = 0.005) and after 35 + 0 weeks of gestation (p = 0.044). Alterations of the sFlt1/PlGF ratio were observed in all patients but were higher in the patient group from 7–10 weeks prior to delivery and with the highest peak 0–2 weeks prior to delivery. Compared to the control group (mean ± SD 66.9 ± 134) absolute values of sFlt1/PlGF ratio were signifi cantly (p = 0.021) increased 0–2 weeks prior to delivery in the patient group (mean ± SD 393.3 ± 147.4). An increase of the sFlt1/PlGF ratio ≥ 85 0–2 weeks before delivery has shown to be predictive for one of the mentioned diseases (p = 0.025).Conclusions: In high-risk patients the sFlt1/PlGF ratio can be used for an individual risk assessment with regard to PE, HELLP syndrome or IUGR. Serial measurements permit a risk-adapted prenatal care of these patients

L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser le système juridique français et brésilien concernant les stratégies de défense contre les offres publiques d'acquisition visant à prendre le contrôle des sociétés cotées en bourse. Les offres publiques d'acquisition font l'objet d'un vif débat, plus particulièrement lorsqu'elles présentent un caractère hostile pour la société cible. En France, de nombreux efforts législatifs ont été mis en œuvre en vue d'encadrer les OPA et de lutter contre les prises de contrôle rampantes. L'analyse du droit positif permet de mettre en lumière ces différents efforts ainsi que leur mise en œuvre à travers diverses techniques par les sociétés visées. Grâce à l'analyse juridique des stratégies anti-OPA en France, le système brésilien peut prendre connaissance de cette expérience et trouver la meilleure approche juridique pour les sociétés cotées ayant un capital flottant important. Au Brésil, la récente vague d'IPO a été possible grâce à la réforme dans la bourse BM&FBOVESPA. Dorénavant, la BM&FBOVESPA présente le scénario idéal pour prendre le contrôle des sociétés cotées. Ainsi, l'importance de ce thème est le résultat de la dispersion de l'actionnariat après la première vague d'introduction en bourse dans le marché de capitaux brésilien, et en France, elle se traduit par l'évolution dans environnement légal des défenses anti-OPA face à des pratiques qui ne cessent d'évoluerThe objective of this thesis is to analyse the French experience and the Brazilian legal environment concerning the defense strategies against hostile corporate takeovers aimed at taking control over public companies. Through the analysis of the French legal system of the anti-takeover strategies, the Brazilian system will be able to acquire this experience and find the best legal approach for Brazilian public companies with dispersed ownership. The importance of this theme is the result of the ownership dispersion following the first IPOs in the current Brazilian securities exchange market, which provides the ideal scenario for taking control of these publicly-traded companies, as well as the changes and the evolution in the French legal environment

Full textAbstract:
Dams and barrages play a very vital role in the economy of a country by providing essential benefits like irrigation, hydropower, flood control, drinking water, recreation, etc. However, when these fail in rare conditions, these may cause catastrophic flooding in the downstream area resulting in huge loss to human life and property. The spillway is among the most important structures of a dam project. It provides the project with the ability to release excess or flood water in a controlled or uncontrolled manner to downstream to ensure the safety of the project. The surface of the spillway should also be such that it is able to withstand erosion or scouring due to the very high velocities generated during the passage of a flood through the spillway. So the safety of spillway against the scouring at downstream is also important. To prevent the scouring of the riverbed and failure of the hydraulic structure, energy dissipators are commonly used for the purpose of dissipating the excessive kinetic energy of flowing water downstream of hydraulic structures.
An experimental study was conducted to understand the scouring pattern below downstream of the spillway. A rectangular flume of dimensions 6.0m(length)X0.30m(width)X0.60m(depth), four spillway models(ogee spillway, ski jump bucket, ogee spillway with subsidiary dam, ogee spillway with baffle wall) and locally available material to prepare bed were used in this study. A pitot tube was used to measure the flow velocity and discharge. To measure the pre-jump and post-jump for the calculation of energy loss point gauge was used. In this experimental study total 40 tests were conducted using same run time. The scour pattern (depth and length) were measured after each test run.

The machinery industry was limited in facility of maintenance and repair before Taiwan restore. After Taiwan government set the developing stratagem and ranked the machinery industry as the key industry, it went through sprouting and settle down step by step. The Machinery industry is the Mother of Industry, development of machine-tools business is well standing for it especially. The CNC machines take the position of conventional machine business as the latter lost its competition when the NT dollar appreciated and the manufacturing cost raised severely. The CNC machinery production started from 1986, the two/three-axis machining center is the key business which widely applied in mobile, air craft, machine facility, electrical and electricity industrie, The main markets are in South-East Asia, America (including South & Middle America) and Africa. In recent 5 years, China even occupies higher than 40% of export-sale volume. (Except 2005 & the 1st quarter of 2006 decreased to 36%) Even though the gross volume keeps growing, the quality is never outstanding to break the door of high end market, like the European market. The European Communities (EC) occupied about 40% of the whole world machinery business, but Taiwan only exports 15%~20% CNC machines to EC. The main obstacle is the lack of knowledge for EC safety regulation. As a matter of fact, makers do not understand the mechanical/ electrical engineering and the related safety requirement, and most of the products do not meet CE regulation. In order to ensure their own safety, the European big importers/distributors are afraid of purchasing and selling the products from Taiwan. Most of Taiwan machinery manufacturers appoint the 3rd party to approve, but on the certificate marks the 3rd part to get rid of the legislation responsibility. To save the expense, usually the 3rd party only approves one model, but lists all the models on the certificate. Although obtaining the certificate, the manufacturers still do not know much about it and could only sell to inferiority or small markets. Hence, it is very important to strengthen the CE regulation knowledge and use the mechanical/electrical technique (especial to those high risk factors, such as electrical interference, loading, design, panel, circuit design) to assist the machine tool builders producing the machines which can conform to CE-regulation, based on CE-Regulation, we have produced Flat-Bed CNC Machines. Full load is 50.975A, heat exchanger reduced 20 degree C, and EMI value at 70dBuV and geometic tolerance meet ISO60204. It is also helpful for the manufacturers to upgrade in the production of multiple axis machines, high speed built-in motor, linear way motor, and high torque motor. To utilize the advanced technique and open the high-end markets, gaining higher market share.Ensuring the long term development and life expectancy, is the main purpose of this thesis.

The non-woven cross lapper machine is mainly reciprocating motioned via a pulley-roller system with a carriage. This system can fold non-woven production in desired thickness and width. In non-woven manufacture, technology influences products of good and bad reasons, with uniform control of the web as the main key. In non-woven factory production, the reciprocating motion required in stabilizing speed and motion has to be precisely maintained in between return points. This study’s purpose is to build a model and control for flat-bed cross lapper machine. We first used Lagrange’s Equation to provide the system’s dynamic equation, followed by step input function and sinusoid function as torque signals provided by the motor. The input signal response and the system dynamic can then be determined. We also designed a linear control system and a non-linear control system to achieve design requirement. For designing a linear control system, we first used the Runge-Kutta method to determine the equilibrium points of this non-linear system. Then, we used the Taylor series expansion to linearize this system and use both the classical and modern control theory to design the controller. To design the system by using the classical control theorem, we determined the higher order transfer function first and then used the approximant method to determine lower order transfer function to design PID controller. Using this low order control system into higher order control system allowed us to obtain system responses that could be compared to those of the flat-bed cross-lapper machine. For designing the modern control system, we could design by two ways: state feedback control and pole-placement design control. Then, we designed this linear system’s characteristic roots to achieve the goal. We designed the non-linear system by directly designing the system output and target function and expecting this system’s output to reach target function; this controller was designed by sliding control and state feedback linearization. The idea of sliding control is forcing the system’s trajectory into sliding surface by switching the control law. State feedback linearization control is basically using different kind of states to simplify the original non-linear state, meaning that the new system will still keep equivalent to original system with error function but simpler. The error function can decide the stability of the system and if sliding control mode is added to reduce the uncertainty of system, we could obtain better results.

Most of the standard test methods for potential alkali reactivity of aggregate around the world measure the expansion of mortar bars (ASTM C227 or ASTM C1260) or concrete prisms (ASTM C1293) with comparators or multi-length strain gauge set under certain conditions (inclusive of temperature, moisture or alkaline supply) and draw the curve of expansion to time duration. The result can only show the change in length. This research tends to use a scanner to get a surface image of a specimen with AAR, which can be analyzed for expansion and stored digitally. Result include that it''s application to measure the expansion of specimen with digital image required with a commercial scanner. With images acquired from same specimen in different time, one can trace the crack development. With higher resolution images, one can zoom in to recognize the crack even if it is too small to recognize with bare eyes. Digital images can be easily stored and traced back for data checking. In comparison with multi-length strain gauge set, the method of image measurement spends less, gets more, and easy to maintain a good quality of measurement.

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a cyclic process used for separation of gas mixtures. This process uses variation of pressure as the main operating parameter to achieve separation and is becoming increasingly popular for the production of oxygen or nitrogen from air. The heat released during gas adsorption will increase the bed temperature, which is an unfavorable to adsorption. On the other hand, gas desorption is an endothermic process and the decrease of temperature caused by desorption is unfavorable to desorption. In this study, the traditional cylindrical adsorbers are replaced by flat-box adsorbers, which are stacked together. We hope this design can reach higher performance of PSA by letting the released heat from the adsorption bed be transferred to the desorption bed. This simulation is performed for the bulk separation of air (21% oxygen ; 79% nitrogen) in Skarstrom cycle and 5A zeolite is utilized as adsorbent. The second part of simulation is to separate water from air(air with relative humidity 90% , equivalent to a water concentration of 3.4241%). In the second part, the adsorbent used is γ-Alumina. This study uses the equilibrium model and the pressure drop can be neglected. We assumed instantaneous equilibrium between solid and gas phase with non-isothermal operation. The simulation results of flat-box type adsorbers and traditional cylindrical adsorbers are compared. The oxygen concentration of products of the flat-box adsorbers is higher than that of the traditional cylindrical adsorbers. From the graphs of adsorber’s temperature, expected temperature changes is observed. The effects of operating variables such as steps time, adsorption pressure, the ratio of bed width to bed height, the heat transfer coefficient between neighboring adsorbers are investigated on the performance of PSA.

NoA discrete particle model is described which simulates bedload transport over a flat bed of a unimodal mixed-sized distribution of particles. Simple physical rules are applied to large numbers of discrete sediment grains moving within a unidirectional flow. The modelling assumptions and main algorithms of the bedload transport model are presented and discussed. Sediment particles are represented by smooth spheres, which move under the drag forces of a simulated fluid flow. Bedload mass-transport rates calculated by the model exhibit a low sensitivity to chosen model parameters. Comparisons of the calculated mass-transport rates with well-established empirical relationships are good, strongly suggesting that the discrete particle model has captured the essential elements of the system physics. This performance provides strong justification for future interrogation of the model to investigate details of the small-scale constituent processes which have hitherto been outside the reach of previous experimental and modelling investigations.

An investigation of adsorption bed using flat-tube in a adsorption cooling system with siliga gel as adsorbent and water as refrigerant is described. The new type adsorption bed is in order to increase the amount of adsorbent and decease the thermal resistance. Otherwise, the performance of the adsorption bed with difference thickness of silica gel coated layer on the flat-tube is discussed. The results show that the performance of the flat-tube adsorption bed is better than the circular tube. The amount of water adsorbed of flat-tube adsorption is 2.2 times than the circular tube in 10 minutes at adsorption cycle. Otherwise, it is smaller thermal resistance and better performance of mass transfer by thin thickness of silica gel coated layer. It means that the 2.8 mm coated layer has better performance of adsorption and cooling power.
