Full textAbstract:
Background Maternal nutrition interventions are efficacious in improving birth outcomes. It is important to demonstrate that if delivered in field conditions they produce improvements in health and nutrition. Objective Analyses of scaling-up of five program implemented in several countries. These include micronutrient supplementation, food fortification, food supplements, nutrition education and counseling, and conditional cash transfers (as a platform for delivering interventions). Evidence on impact and cost-effectiveness is assessed, especially on achieving high, equitable, and sustained coverage, and reasons for success or failure Methods Systematic review of articles on large-scale programs in several databases. Two separate reviewers carried out independent searches. A separate review of the gray literature was carried out including websites of the most important organizations leading with these programs. With Google Scholar a detailed review of the 100 most frequently cited references on each of the five above topics was conducted. Results Food fortification programs: iron and folic acid fortification were less successful than salt iodization initiatives, as the latter attracted more advocacy. Micronutrient supplementation programs: Nicaragua and Nepal achieved good coverage. Key elements of success are antenatal care coverage, ensuring availability of tablets, and improving compliance. Integrated nutrition programs in India, Bangladesh, and Madagascar with food supplementation and/or behavioral change interventions report improved coverage and behaviors, but achievements are below targets. The Mexican conditional cash transfer program provides a good example of use of this platform to deliver maternal nutritional interventions. Conclusions Programs differ in complexity, and key elements for success vary with the type of program and the context in which they operate. Special attention must be given to equity, as even with improved overall coverage and impact inequalities may even be increased. Finally, much greater investments are needed in independent monitoring and evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
The unprecedented advances taking place in the technology industries (computer, electronics, telecommunications) can benefit the transit industry by enabling safer, cleaner, and more reliable transit vehicles; easier maintenance; better customer service; and faster and more efficient scheduling and operations. Without an effective technology transfer process, however, the technologies may not reach the proper audience in the transit organization, or they may fail to elicit the appropriate response from transit staff. The two key elements of successful technology transfer in the transit industry are discussed—effective technology transfer infrastructure and technology transfer (T2) agents. Effective technology transfer infrastructure consists of an organizational culture that is open and flexible, a comprehensive evaluation mechanism, an efficient transfer design, and an effective training program. T2 agents are individuals or organizations that bring new technologies and information to agencies, which then can transform the technology and information into useful products, processes, or programs. Also discussed are intra- and interagency barriers, such as strict adherence to rule books and bureaucratic organizational structures, and examples are provided of how some agencies are addressing these problems.

Full textAbstract:
A study is presented of the transfer of heat within a saturated sand with reference to the analysis of artificial freezing of the ground. First, the main characteristics of the adopted finite element approach and of the technique that introduces the latent-heat effects during the water–ice phase transition are illustrated. Subsequently, the results of some laboratory freezing tests are presented on the basis of which the computer program and the procedure for working out the thermal constants of the soil were calibrated. Finally, a parametric study is discussed that concerns the effects of pipe diameter, distance between pipes, and coolant temperature on the progress of the 0 °C isotherm. Key words : artificial freezing, finite elements, heat transfer, laboratory test, Stefan problem.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of global warming and the reduction of energy consumption have led to an evolutionary progress of research directed towards finding as many solutions as possible to these environmental issues. Firstly, this paper presents the background information on the role of wastewater as a source of heat for the future. Next, the paper includes the analysis elements that define a system for recovering thermal energy from wastewater. The main objective was to identify the parameters that determine the heat transfer. It has started from a conceptual model of the technological system that involves inputs and outputs characterized by technological, physical-chemical, measurable or imposed properties. In the second part this paper presents a numerical model elaborated for the analysis and simulation of the main physical processes, the mass and heat transfer, which underlie the operation of the heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE). The numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer in the HPHE is computed by using Delphi 7 solver program. This program contained a series of sub-programs for the meshing of the field occupied by the HPHE, another subprogram for solving the meshing equations and the third for post processing. The design of HPHE is the key to provide a heat exchanger system to work proficient as expected. Finally, the result is used to optimize and improving heat recovery systems of the increasing demand for energy efficiency in residential buildings or industry.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing care engagement is essential to meet HIV prevention goals and achieve viral suppression. It is difficult, however, for agencies to establish the systems and practice improvements required to ensure coordinated care, especially for clients with complex health needs. We describe the theory-driven, field-informed transfer process used to translate key components of the evidence-informed Ryan White Part A New York City Care Coordination Program into an online practice improvement toolkit, STEPS to Care (StC), with the potential to support broader dissemination. Informed by analyses of qualitative and quantitative data collected from eight agencies, we describe our four phases: (1) review of StC strategies and key elements, (2) translation into a three-part toolkit: Care Team Coordination, Patient Navigation, and HIV Self-Management, (3) pilot testing, and (4) toolkit refinement for national dissemination. Lessons learned can guide the translation of evidence-informed strategies to online environments, a needed step to achieve wide-scale implemention.

This paper tries to highlight some biomechanical characteristics of the transfer in the rotational movements on uneven bars in women’s artistic gymnastics. This scientific approach led to a study conducted during the Masters National Championships from 16th to 18th of October 2012, in ”Nadia Comaneci” Polyvalent Hall of Onești. The study involved 7 gymnasts belonging to junior training team of Deva, aged 12 to 15. The following methods have been used in this research: method of bibliographic study, method of pedagogical observation, method of biomechanical video analysis using Kinovea and Physics Toolkit programs, experiment method, statistical method (KyPlot) and the method of graphical representation (Excel). The analysis of difficulty values of the technical elements on uneven bars as per the Code of Points emphasizes the dynamics of the vertical and horizontal transfer, depending on the category / type of the movement and the difficulty group. The results of the study highlights how the transfer is made throughout the routines on uneven bars in terms of kinematics and dynamic characteristics of the key elements of sports technique during the rotational movements. The efficient use of the postural orientation method based on the biomechanical analysis of the rotational movements on uneven bars showed the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the key elements of sports technique according to the performances achieved in competition.

Full textAbstract:
Adaptive management is a key component of a forest project being implemented across all of Weyerhaeuser's coastal forest tenures. This project uses two main tools to accomplish the British Columbia (BC) Coastal Group's ecological and socio-economic goals: variable retention (VR) harvesting and broad zoning of the land base. The adaptive management program was designed to examine the effectiveness of retention systems and zoning in maintaining those forest attributes necessary to sustain biological richness and essential ecosystem functions, such as nutrient transfer, energy flow, decomposition, and dispersal of seeds, spores, and animals. The program is grounded on three biological indicators evaluated in both operational and experimental contexts: 1) representation of habitat types in a relatively unmanaged state to ensure that little-known species are retained; 2) structure of stands and landscapes to ensure that key elements are present through time; and 3) indicator organisms to track whether retaining structures and patterns, while addressing representation, will maintain species and populations whose life needs are well understood. Representation of ecosystems in unmanaged conditions has been examined. Habitat structure is being assessed in VR blocks and in unmanaged blocks. Studies on several organisms (breeding birds, owls, gastropods, amphibians, bryophytes, lichen, squirrels, mycorrhizae, and carabid beetles) have been underway for various lengths of time. These studies collected baseline information to begin comparisons of the effectiveness of the various types of VR for maintaining biological richness. The current focus in the adaptive management program is refining the lists of specific elements to monitor and beginning to create tools to help extrapolate relationships and findings over large areas and long time frames, with the expectation of operational implementation in 2003. The first two years of pilot work are also being used to examine how the results will link to management practices to strengthen areas that most need improvement. This paper describes three indicators used in Weyerhaeuser's adaptive management program. Key words: adaptive management, variable retention harvesting, indicators for monitoring forests

The article is devoted to the solution of key issues arising in the course of practical implementation of the artificial intelligence system elements. Based on the need to distribute tasks among several developers and ensure scalability, the structure of the system, the programming language and the data transfer protocol of the program modules were determined. The structure of the software package is conditioned by the requirement to modify and expand its capabilities by connecting additional software modules or completely replacing them. A refined algorithm for receiving and processing a command from the external environment is presented. The choice of the programming language is based on the availability of already developed libraries that solve the tasks of artificial intelligence, as well as the need to ensure cross-platform software. The choice of the programming language is based on the availability of already developed libraries that solve the tasks of artificial intelligence, as well as the need to ensure cross-platform software. The choice of the protocol for exchanging data between the individual program modules of the system was carried out proceeding from the need to transfer data of arbitrary size.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the possibility of using eyetracking technology when solving the problem of preserving and transmitting cognitive experience. Video recording of the process for which this task is being solved may contain key elements, the control and management of dynamic properties of which are essential components of cognitive experience. In the example with the “invisible gorilla”, intentionally incorrectly instruction leads to the fact that the essential characteristics of the system are not detected by the observers. Registration of eye movements of an expert, who transmits cognitive experience, performed in addition to the procedure of cooperative debriefing, makes it possible to identify such key elements and their dynamic patterns. In the future, based on the analysis performed, it is possible to create training programs for cognitive experience transfer systems.

Diabetes Mellitus is the main cause of chronic patients in Spain. An equivocal exploration by the health worker and the client itself leads to the appearance of chronic complications, the most important being diabetic foot. The role of the health worker in the prevention and treatment of this is key. Objectives: This work has the general objective of identifying and providing information to the diabetic client about diabetic foot prevention and care elements to avoid complications. Data sources, study eligibility criteria: The search for the articles was carried out in various scientific databases with the help of a search string, which combined the keywords and Boolean operators. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Thirty-seven papers were selected after a review of 101 articles. Results: The implementation of a health education program, in addition to performing multidisciplinary work, favors the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and reduces the risk of amputation. Conclusions and implications of key findings: Nurses must have greater responsibility to inspire patients ‘self-efficacy by making health education programs effective.

Aim:
As a priority for Aboriginal women, in the context of worsening Aboriginal health and lack of clarity about successful strategies to address healthcare needs, this research explored successful strategies in remote Aboriginal womens health that may be transferable to another community with similar health needs.
Methodology:
Against a background of cultural and historical events, the study sought to identify existing strategies and frameworks for Aboriginal womens health. It uses Naturalistic Inquiry situated within the Interpretive paradigm and conceptualised within the philosophical approach of feminist and critical social theory It has examined Aboriginal health providers and womens priorities, practices, perceptions and expectations within the context of primary health care and community development principles by Participatory Action Research (PAR).
The successful elements of an established and effective Aboriginal Well Womens Health (AWWH) program from Central Australia (CA) were identified, transferred and adapted to meet the needs of a willing recipient remote community in South Australia (SA). Working together with healthcare providers from CA and SA, the adapted Well Womens Health program was implemented in an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service collaboratively with local mainstream Community Womens health services and evaluated.
Results:
Over a two year period, the research was evaluated through Critical Social Theory examining both the process of implementation and the impact on the Aboriginal community, analysing both qualitative and quantitative data. The AWWH program model and its principles were successfully transferred, adapted and implemented in this community. The AWWH program which included comprehensive health screening, health information and lifestyle sessions have become core business of the Aboriginal health service and an Aboriginal Mens Well Health program has also been established using the same model.
The women have found the AWWH program culturally acceptable and their attendance has steadily increased and the program has reached those women in the community who previously had never experienced a well health check. It has also identified an extremely high incidence and comorbidity of acute illness and chronic disease in diabetes, renal and dental disease, mental and social health problems that require address.
Conclusion:
Health programs that are well established and effective can be successfully replicated, transferred and adapted to other communities if the elements that made them successful are acknowledged and those principles are then transferred with the program to a willing community with similar needs. This program transfer has potential to save much time and developmental costs that will help to address poor Aboriginal health.

Customer power is growing, and customers now have tools that inform them of the true state of affairs. This power enables them to avoid the pushy messages of marketers, make their own decisions, and determine what to buy. A company advocates for its customers and earns their trust. It may not be a strategy for everyone, but innovative companies are following this path. The marketing paradigm is shifting from traditional push-based marketing to trust-based advocacy marketing. This research identifies and summarizes the key elements needed to create customer advocacy. It considers the following research questions: What are the key elements to creating customer advocacy? What means or types are there in each key element? Which elements are influential on advocacy marketing in each company and industry? The author sent out requests for interviews to many firms and received affirmative replies from about thirty. Based on the data gathered by the author, twelve new key elements were identified, and several means for realizing these elements, which can be distilled in several ways. These key elements and means are effective for firms in a variety of industries and categories. In addition, the author introduces a new framework which can effectively identify a firm's position in terms of two dimensions: push and trust. This framework is useful for confirming differences between competitors and validating corporate strategies for building and maintaining competitive advantage. Few firms can afford to ignore advocacy marketing as a marketing strategy. Advocacy marketing is associated not only with customer marketing, but also with overall corporate strategy. This research will focus on enriching practical knowledge for the
(cont.) real world, and be a useful reference when a company launches its advocacy marketing campaigns.

Due to the rapid growth of internet and global information network, e-business on the internet environment has become a major goal and perspective for national information infrastructures and company-wide information system. Many large-cap electronic companies that have deep thoughts and profound perspectives have been aggressively getting involved into the building process of e-business system. (And because information industry and e-business are highly knowledge intensive industry, my research took some specific companies as examples to discuss their strategies for adapting e-business and summary their processes of knowledge transfer and pervasion. I hope my research result could be one of useful references for information industry companies that want to develop e-business, and help them to adapt themselves to e-business very quick and smooth, and improve their knowledge management practices. This is a qualitative research, the research methodology is “case study”. By observing and interviewing companies, we can understand and analyze essentials of our problem, and of cause find the solution of the problem. I chose “Mitac”, “Acer”, and “Systeck ”as my interviewed companies. Information comes from primary and secondary data collecting. And research topics focus on strategies for adapting e-business and processes of knowledge transfer and pervasion. Finally, I compared and analyzed these three companies’ strategies and processes and provided my suggestions about this issue. Here comes my conclusion: according to the strategic object model which PriceWaterhouseCoopers Consultant proposed, Mitac and xxx belong to “Status-Quo” enterprise, and Acer is more like “E-Innovation” enterprise, but Acer still has “Status-Quo” enterprise’s characters. For electronic or information companies that want to adapt themselves to e-business, how relevant their businesses are to knowledge will decide their transfer mechanisms and media. （1） The frequency of interacting between knowledge is higher for conceptual style of transfer; the degree of knowledge relevance between different organizations is higher for experienced style of transfer; the main transfer media is person. （2） The frequency of interacting between knowledge is lower for standard style of transfer; the degree of knowledge relevance between different organizations is lower or even complementary for cooperative style of transfer; the main transfer media is systematic database. There pervasion mechanisms – “die out style”, “enhancement style”, “complete style” – are separate by learning period and education system. But the real factors to make these three mechanism different are corporate culture and how they treat their human resource. Finally, I proposed some suggestions according to my analysis results, and pointed out limitations. I hope my research could provide other researchers for further study.

According to the competitive environment of global business in CNC machines business of Taiwan, using the information technology to tell the market segmentation for different characteristics in designing the product in a prompt way. Not only to bring the variety new productions into the market but also create the additional values on it, that’s the way to keep the advantages of companies and gain more margins. Our study has three main areas, stratagem, execution and achievement. We are using the Delphi Method to do the specialist surveys and draw the effect elements for evaluated items in the processes of new production development. In the further, we are using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process,AHP) to set up the relative weight of all the evaluated items. The stratagem is the most important method and the execution stays at the second position. Our study, in a way, has been confirmed through a completely analysis and it came up a successful new production as a new project launching. Meanwhile, we are considering the supporting from our group, not only from our inner circle source but also the supports of vendors or other related groups. After all the processes of “project Management” we are using, under the restricted conditions and limited supports, we are here to very glad to announce that our project running via the systematized programming has been successfully running as we hope to. Our study is not to be compared with other businesses; it can only as a reference model of new product developments via “project management” for the business of CNC machines.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores Article 23 of the ATT, which considers the provisional application of states to the ATT. When signing, ratifying, accepting, approving, or acceding to the ATT, any state may declare that it will provisionally apply the key elements regarding prohibition of transfer and export and export assessment as set out in Articles 6 and 7 of the ATT, respectively. Such provisional application generally extends until the state becomes party to the treaty. This article is broader in scope compared to similar provisions in other disarmament treaties and is more far-reaching than provisional application as foreseen by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The opportunity provisionally to apply core elements of the ATT may prove particularly attractive to states that are among the first to ratify the treaty or to signatory states whose domestic ratification process may be expected to be prolonged or delayed.

Full textAbstract:
Enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) are evidence-based care pathways starting from the point of patient referral right through the peri-operative period until discharge home. The ERP aims to reduce surgical stress and enhance post-operative physiological function with resulting early return of enteral diet and mobilization to improve outcomes. There are 20 evidence-based elements, many of which are delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Many elements support a treatment intervention, but some aim to avoid an intervention, which can negatively impact on recovery. An ERP with good compliance has been shown to reduce length of stay and medical complications. Minimal access surgery, high quality analgesia, and goal-directed fluid therapy are key factors ensuring optimal outcomes. There has been successful adoption and transfer of enhanced recovery principles into many surgical specialties. There is wide variation in the use of critical care within ERPs depending on local policy and patient risk factors.

Full textAbstract:
Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design is a comprehensive account of the open pit slope design process. Created as an outcome of the Large Open Pit (LOP) project, an international research and technology transfer project on rock slope stability in open pit mines, this book provides an up-to-date compendium of knowledge of the slope design processes that should be followed and the tools that are available to aid slope design practitioners.
This book links innovative mining geomechanics research into the strength of closely jointed rock masses with the most recent advances in numerical modelling, creating more effective ways for predicting rock slope stability and reliability in open pit mines. It sets out the key elements of slope design, the required levels of effort and the acceptance criteria that are needed to satisfy best practice with respect to pit slope investigation, design, implementation and performance monitoring.
Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design comprises 14 chapters that directly follow the life of mine sequence from project commencement through to closure. It includes: information on gathering all of the field data that is required to create a 3D model of the geotechnical conditions at a mine site; how data is collated and used to design the walls of the open pit; how the design is implemented; up-to-date procedures for wall control and performance assessment, including limits blasting, scaling, slope support and slope monitoring; and how formal risk management procedures can be applied to each stage of the process.
This book will assist in meeting stakeholder requirements for pit slopes that are stable, in regards to safety, ore recovery and financial return, for the required life of the mine.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter emphasizes the need for research that is designed and implemented explicitly with dissemination in mind. This is illustrated in relation to environmental and policy initiatives to influence physical activity through active transport, and through the example of initiatives to reduce workplace sitting. The other element of this chapter, the broad-reach intervention-dissemination case study of a health behavior-change program, highlights the need to maintain key elements of research quality in designing for dissemination, to the extent that is practically possible: a rigorous study design; the systematic tracking of implementation and related costs; and, the conduct of dose-response, maintenance and cost-effectiveness analyses. These examples of designing for dissemination illustrate not only the exciting opportunities for real-world dissemination research, but also the resourcefulness and commitment required for success.

Cognitive-behavioral approaches to treatment are derived from learning principles underlying behavioral and/or cognitive therapy. Only evidence-based approaches are recommended for practice. Support for different approaches varies across substance use disorders. For alcohol use disorders, cognitive-behavioral coping skills training and cue-exposure treatment are beneficial when added to an integrated treatment program. For cocaine dependence, contingency management combined with coping skills training or community reinforcement, and coping skills training added to a full treatment program, produce increased abstinence. For marijuana abuse, contingency management or coping skills training improve outcomes. For opiate dependence, contingency management decreases use of other drugs while on methadone. For smoking, aversive conditioning produces good results and key elements of coping skills training are supported, best when medication is also used. Recent advances include Web-based coping skills training, virtual reality to present cues during cue exposure, and text-messaging to remind clients to use coping skills in the natural environment.

AbstractThe stated purpose of the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) was to contribute to meeting the basic needs of the most vulnerable refugees in Turkey. In the context of this book’s argument, we ask whether it achieved this goal but also whether and to what extent it contributed to extending elements of market citizenship to forced migrants. We conclude that while the ESSN’s CT program made a limited contribution to meeting basic needs and empowering displaced persons as consumers, other elements of market citizenship, or even “denizenship,” are lacking. With regard to its explicit targets, the effectiveness of ESSN was limited by the ambiguities of its design, linked to the different priorities of the agencies involved, which exclude some vulnerable persons from the program. More broadly, very limited access to the formal labor market remained an obstacle to fuller market citizenship.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLifted (family-based) static analysis by abstract interpretation is capable of analyzing all variants of a program family simultaneously, in a single run without generating any of the variants explicitly. The elements of the underlying lifted analysis domain are tuples, which maintain one property per variant. Still, explicit property enumeration in tuples, one by one for all variants, immediately yields combinatorial explosion. This is particularly apparent in the case of program families that, apart from Boolean features, contain also numerical features with large domains, thus giving rise to astronomical configuration spaces.The key for an efficient lifted analysis is a proper handling of variability-specific constructs of the language (e.g., feature-based runtime tests and $$\texttt {\#if}$$ # if directives). In this work, we introduce a new symbolic representation of the lifted abstract domain that can efficiently analyze program families with numerical features. This makes sharing between property elements corresponding to different variants explicitly possible. The elements of the new lifted domain are constraint-based decision trees, where decision nodes are labeled with linear constraints defined over numerical features and the leaf nodes belong to an existing single-program analysis domain. To illustrate the potential of this representation, we have implemented an experimental lifted static analyzer, called SPLNum$$^2$$ 2 Analyzer, for inferring invariants of C programs. An empirical evaluation on BusyBox and on benchmarks from SV-COMP yields promising preliminary results indicating that our decision trees-based approach is effective and outperforms the baseline tuple-based approach.

AbstractThe specialized function of the kidney is reflected in its unique structure, characterized by juxtaposition of disorganized and ordered elements, including renal glomerula, capillaries, and tubules. The key role of the kidney in blood filtration, and changes in filtration rate and blood flow associated with pathological conditions, make it possible to investigate kidney function using the motion of water molecules in renal tissue. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a versatile modality that sensitizes observable signal to water motion, and can inform on the complexity of the tissue microstructure. Several DWI acquisition strategies are available, as are different analysis strategies, and models that attempt to capture not only simple diffusion effects, but also perfusion, compartmentalization, and anisotropy. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of DWI alongside common acquisition schemes and models, and gives an overview of specific DWI applications for animal models of renal disease.This chapter is based upon work from the COST Action PARENCHIMA, a community-driven network funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) program of the European Union, which aims to improve the reproducibility and standardization of renal MRI biomarkers.

Global connectivity has opened up a new dimension in education, namely, the concept of delivering education via technology to students who may never see their classmates or their instructor face to face. The typical school with its traditional classrooms does not exist in this new scenario, and many of the professionals responsible for developing distributed learning courses are new to the task. This chapter will guide the reader through the process of planning and implementing a distributed learning program. The model for this chapter is the distributed learning program provided by the Department of Defense Education Activity to schools serving the family members of U.S. military personnel at home and abroad. The DoDEA Electronic School (DES) offers sixteen courses to over six hundred students at 56 high schools in fourteen countries, spanning twelve time zones. The program has been in existence for over twelve years, evolving from a two-teacher program to a worldwide school headed by an administrative staff and employing 23 instructors and four technical support staff members. Courses currently available through the DES include seven advanced placement courses (Calculus AB and BC, Physics B, German, United States History, and Computer Science A and AB); five computer programming courses (Pascal I and II, Q-BASIC, Visual BASIC, and C++); economics; health; humanities; and science research seminar. In addition to offering student courses, the DES is in the process of adding an extensive staff development component. With teachers and staff based worldwide, the system can save a significant amount of travel money by providing staff development opportunities that are accessible at the local site. The DoDEA Electronic School grew up with technology. During those first years, students used an acoustic coupler and a telephone to call a central computer in the United States, where they accessed a text based conferencing program to communicate with their classmates and instructors. Today’s DES instructors develop their courses in Lotus Notes, and students can use either the Lotus Notes client or a Web browser. Domino servers at each school send and receive information via the Internet, resulting in efficient transfer of data. In today’s environment, rich with technology but short on hours in the day, there is no time afforded for the luxury of “evolving.” Professionals tasked with developing distributed learning programs for their organizations are given a staff, a budget and a mandate— and certainly a challenge. The goal of this chapter is to help those professionals meet the challenge by examining the key elements of a successful distributed learning program.

Video is increasingly used in professional development programs for teachers. Several studies have shown that the ability to notice and analyze pertinent classroom elements is the mark of an expert teacher, but little research has focused on how to use video to bring about real transformations in teachers' classroom activity. A research program was therefore developed to address this issue, drawing on Dewey's notion of collaborative inquiry and key concepts from work analysis. The research revealed three processes of professional development that video-artifacts can bring to the fore and enrich: mimetic engagement, the comparison and cross-fertilization between activities, and the deconstruction-reconstruction of activity. On the basis of these processes, the researchers designed a program called the Collaborative Video Learning Laboratory, which has yielded promising preliminary results for professional development. The advantages and challenges of this program are discussed and the new perspectives for professional development programs for teachers are presented.

Reliable transfer systems are a key element in developing floating LNG technology. Multi-composite hoses may prove to be a reliable and cost effective solution. TNO, the Dutch contract research organisation, has executed an extensive test program on the multi-composite hose of Gutteling B.V. for Ship-to-Ship (STS) LNG transfers. It has resulted in qualification of the hose in accordance to EN1474-part 2 [2]. This hose is the first product that has been qualified in accordance with this new internationally accepted standard. The test program was performed in close cooperation with Gutteling B.V., EXMAR and DNV. It focused on the mechanical and flow behaviour at ambient and cryogenic operating conditions. In excess of the EN1474-requirements, a multi-level test programme is performed, more samples are tested and more extreme load combinations are applied. The purpose was to provide a data set that enables transfer system qualification in accordance with EN1474-part 3. The hose appears to have a complex mechanical behaviour: elastic non-linear, coupling of deformation modes, hysteric behaviour and large damping. Damage tolerance tests, such as impact and crushing, show that the composite hose performs exceptionally. This paper summarises the test program and describes some of the tests performed in excess of the requirements. In particular, testing for off-spec operation conditions, fatigue and creep is addressed. Absences of engineering models to predict fatigue and creep performance are future obstacles for realising the interesting proposition of multi-composite hoses.

The heat transfer enhancement through turbulence augmentation is recognized as a key factor for improving the safety and economic conditions in the development of both critical and subcritical innovative advanced gas cooled fast reactors (GFR) and transmutation systems. In the present work, a new experimental facility named L-STAR has been designed and erected at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to study turbulence flow behavior and its heat transfer enhancement characteristics in gas cooled annular channels under a wide range of conditions. The main objective of the experimental study is to investigate and improve the understanding of complex turbulent convective enhancement mechanisms as well as the friction loss penalties of roughened fuel rod elements compared to smooth ones and to generate an accurate database for further development of physical models. Tests are being conducted in a closed gas loop at various Reynolds numbers with nearly uniform heat release conditions. The test section consists of an annular hexagonal cross-section channel with an inner electrical heater rod element (smooth and roughened), placed concentrically within the test section, to simulate the flow area of a fuel rod element in a fast gas cooled reactor. In the first step, experimental results of the fluid flow with a smooth heater rod are presented. The pressure drops, as well as axial temperature profiles within the heater rod surface have been measured at Reynolds numbers in the range from 3·103 to 7·104. Experimental program is continued with higher temperatures and the implementation of various artificial surface structures.

Textron Lycoming and Pratt&Whitney teamed to develop the T800 for the Army’s LHX program and other applications. A teamed approach was selected in order to answer the Army’s requirement for true competition during the production phase of the program. Clear definition of this requirement, while not specifying teaming as absolutely necessary, was a critical element in the rapid and smooth initiation of the teamed effort. Additional key elements were management compatibility, equal technical contribution, willingness to transfer technology, and team focus on a clear goal. An organization was structured which utilizes a Joint Program Office (JPO) as the managing unit. This office is located at Stratford, Connecticut, and is staffed by Textron Lycoming and Pratt&Whitney personnel. The JPO structure has been successful in forcing the joint decision process to function within both organizations. This case study focuses on the process of teaming for the development of complex systems. It addresses initiation of the team, management structure, unique management issues, benefits to participants and customers, and lessons learned.

Full textAbstract:
Progresses in conjugate heat transfer simulation method provide a new approach for turbine blade cooling design. The procedure of air-cooled blade design introduced in this paper consists of two levels, a schematic design using 1D flow network calculation method, and a detailed design based on CFX conjugate heat transfer simulation. The program platform for the design method was developed, including an air-cooled blade design program, a 1D cooling structure flow network solver, and conjugate mesh generation tools for air-cooled blade. The design platform contains parametric methods for blade profile, cooling channel, and various cooling structures. The key parametric algorithm named Element Design Method was invented and introduced, which brings about parametric design for complex cooling channel, and accelerates the calculation model generation during the schematic design and detailed design. The flow network solver for schematic design consists of a pressure solving program, a temperature solving program, and a film cooling solving program. The pressure solving program uses linear method to solve the momentum equation, so higher stability of the flow network solver can be achieved. In detailed design, CFD pre-treatment using the commercial software is time-consuming. The mesh generation tools, combined with parametric design programs, can automatically create hexahedron/mixed mesh for turbine cascade and cooling structures with considerable speed and quality, which significantly reduces the difficulty of pre-treatment during detailed design.

Full textAbstract:
The Hot Section Technology (HOST) program has focussed on providing methods to solve difficult structural analysis problems. Few structures require as much effort to analyze as the modern aircraft gas turbine engine; heat transfer, constitutive relations, linear and nonlinear analysis, multiple advanced materials are some of the key topics requiring attention in the structural analysis of engine components. Usually based on limited information and experience, these advanced methods must evolve from expert systems to widely verified user friendly techniques available to the design community. This paper will discuss the development of turbine blade analysis tools as they moved from research contracts under the NASA HOST program to a PC based system for preliminary design and their use in evaluating the SSME HPFTP blade, a similar but subtly different problem. Included in the discussion will be the heat transfer and structural analysis of the blade, development of a data base for constitutive modelling of the blade materials, including coatings, and the usage of advanced nonlinear finite element methods.

Full textAbstract:
The quantitative assessment and management of the risks associated with fire require integrated computations of fire loads and their consequences. The objective of this paper is to present a new procedure for the nonlinear structural response analysis of offshore installations during fires. The procedure comprises calculation of fire loads using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, thermal response analysis and nonlinear structural response analysis in fire which are key elements in the framework of the fire risk assessment and management. KFX code is used to perform the fire CFD simulation; whereas the analyses of both thermal and nonlinear structural responses are performed using the LS-DYNA code. Models for such analysis can be developed with shell elements to represent the structures with required accuracy. A computer program known as KFX2DYNA is applied to automatically import the results of the KFX simulations which are directly exported to LSDYNA for the analyses of both heat transfer and nonlinear structural responses, making fire risk analysis fast, accurate and reliable. An experimental scenario with a simply supported I-girder under fire is used to validate the procedure. The applicability of the procedure is demonstrated using the example of a fire in the hypothetical topside structure of a VLCC-class FPSO.

This paper addresses the factors involved in effectively implementing a world-class program/project management information system funded by multiple nations. Along with many other benefits, investing in and utilizing such systems improves delivery and drive accountability for major expenditures. However, there are an equally large number of impediments to developing and using such systems. To be successful, the process requires a dynamic combining of elements and strategic sequencing of initiatives. While program/project-management systems involve information technologies, software and hardware, they represent only one element of the overall system. Technology, process, people and knowledge must all be integrated and working in concert with one another to assure a fully capable system. Major system implementations occur infrequently, and frequently miss established targets in relatively small organizations (with the risk increasing with greater complexity). The European Bank of Reconstruction (EBRD) is midway through just such an implementation. The EBRD is using funds from numerous donor countries to sponsor development of an overarching program management system. The system will provide the Russian Federation with the tools to effectively manage prioritizing, planning, and physically decommissioning assets in northwest Russia to mitigate risks associated the Soviet era nuclear submarine program. Project-management delivery using world-class techniques supported by aligned systems has been proven to increase the probability of delivering on-time and on-budget, assuring those funding such programs optimum value for money. However, systems deployed to manage multi-laterally funded projects must be developed with appropriate levels of consideration given to unique aspects such as: accommodation of existing project management methods, consideration for differences is management structures and organizational behaviors, incorporation of unique strengths, and subtle adjustment to compensate weaknesses. This paper addresses the architecture and sequencing of implementation. A properly designed program/project-management system provides necessary tools for those planning the program as a whole, as well as those tasked with delivering individual projects. It also provides a communication framework to transfer information to parties on the funding side of the equation. Aligned program and project management methods are key to making the overall effort effective. Ultimately, progress and transparency are essential outcomes that help to sustain funding and mitigate major funding fluctuations that create havoc for any project. A solid program-management system must provide donor countries the ability to know what is to be accomplished, how much it should cost, and over what period of time, as well as provide adequate transparency into how much is being accomplished at any given point in time. Prioritization, funding, transparency, politics, and many other considerations come into play when dealing with challenges that take decades to overcome. These issues exist for most programs, but the situation becomes even more complex when dealing in a multi-lateral framework. Project management methods and systems relate directly to program level ones and underpin the higher level program system. Before continuing, it is important to summarize the distinctions between program and project management. Program management primarily incorporates efforts relating to the identifying what is to be done over a long time horizon involving multiple projects. Project management, in contrast, generally embodies the efforts of how identified scope shall be done. Many of the efforts performed in each are similar and the distinction between programs and large projects in particular are often blurred. In general, the environment that a program manager deals with involves more uncertainty than a project manager. The essential point, however, is that a program consisting of perfectly sequenced and executed projects can still fail to provide the desired benefit if the overall program strategy is flawed or fails to adequately communicate the vision to the many lower-tier managers involved on individual projects.
