In the 1950s, American public universities began training a vast new cadre of nuclear engineers, technicians, and scientists in specially designed and built “teaching reactors.” As this article describes, a generation of nuclear engineering undergraduates and graduate students were exposed to an open, accessible, and above all, visible demonstration of nuclear energy through educational “swimming pool”–style reactors. Distinct from reactors for either weapons or power production, the swimming pool reactor was specifically configured to be a pedagogical tool. Educational programs were created around federally and industrially sponsored reactors for training, part of the massive Cold War era transformations of Midwestern, Western, and Southern public colleges and universities. This article offers the Ford Nuclear Reactor at the University of Michigan as an example of how the peaceful pedagogical atom developed after the 1950s. As I argue, teaching reactors were one product of the conservative compact made between government, public universities, and private industry in the early 1950s that underpinned the famed Atoms for Peace movement, with its technology and information sharing and international training priorities. Indeed, teaching reactors resolved for Eisenhower’s administration the tension between a desire for centralized control of the atom and the powerful vision of a future of prosperity brought about by open education and use of nuclear materials. This paper is part of a special issue entitled “Revealing the Michigan Memorial–Phoenix Project.”

This article is about the importance of sanitary and hygienic examination of water complexes, in particular, swimming pools and water parks. There is an increasing demand for visiting such water complexes in Ukraine, both for sports activities and for leisure activities. The focus of this article is on the sanitary and hygienic examination and survey of pool water, which is treated with sodium hypochlorite (obtained by chemical way). Material and methods. The studies were carried out for 10 weeks, including a series of water samples, which were taken during the quarantine period, when swimmers were prohibited from visiting the pool. This situation made possible to make a comparative hygienic assessment of the effect of workload on the water condition in the pool and the effectiveness of disinfection. There was also a short review and characteristics of hypochlorite A, which was obtained in chemical way, its advantages and disadvantages as a disinfectant. The article analyzes the data obtained during the sanitary and hygienic survey of the pool of the swimming pool of the national technical university, their statistical processing, and comparison with the current regulatory documents of Ukraine and some other states. The data obtained in the course of a series of studies indicated a significant human influence on the state of water in the pool, which once again indicates the importance of health education of the population and visitors in swimming pools and water parks, in particular, the need to take a shower before swimming, after using the toilet, etc.; the need for training the right culture of visiting different water objects. Particular attention should be paid to swimming pools frequented by children, as they often do not have sufficient hygiene skills, or due to age cannot constantly monitor urination, so, as a rule, it`s an acute issue of large amounts of chloramines in swimming pools for children. Conclusion. In particular, a statistically significant difference was obtained in terms of ammonia and ammonium ions (in total), which indicated a significant influence of visitors on this parameter. And, as you know, organic impurities (sweat, urine, cosmetics remains etc.) that get into the water together with the swimmers, react with chlorine and form chloramines, which can negatively affect the health of both the visitors and the staff. This must be taken into account while changing the workload on the pool and choosing the dose of disinfectant

Full textAbstract:
Sport centres thermal demand is extremely high due to the large amount of sanitary hot water production. Therefore, energy savings actions must be performed in order to optimize system efficiency. In this framework, the present paper investigates the possibility to perform an energy rehabilitation of an indoor swimming pool centre by means of solar thermal collectors and heat pump technologies integrated with the existing plant. The case study consists of a university indoor swimming pool centre located in Naples, South of Italy. A dynamic simulation model is developed by TRNSYS software (Thermal Energy System Specialists, LLC, Madison, WI, USA). An experimental investigation is also performed in order to calibrate the swimming pool thermal model and the space conditioning equipment operation. Real data concerning the thermal demand of the centre are implemented and the dynamic behaviour of the swimming pool occupants is also considered. The proposed technical solutions are analysed from an energy and economic point of view. A parametric analysis aiming at determining the effect of the size of the solar field on the system performance is performed. The comparison outlines that the best energy and economic performance is achieved by evacuated solar thermal collectors. In particular, the Simple Pay Back (SPB) period results about 14 years without incentives and it decreases to 5 years considering the Italian incentive policy. For an evacuated collector field of 150 m2, the SPB without incentive results below 9 years.

Full textAbstract:
UV lamps are being increasingly used in the treatment of swimming pool water, mainly due to their abilities to disinfect and effectively remove chloramines (combined chlorine). However, the application of UV lamps in a closed loop system, such as that in which swimming pool water is treated, creates conditions under which chlorinated water is then also irradiated with UV. Thus, the advanced oxidation process occurs, which affects the transformation of organic matter and its increased reactivity, and hence the higher usage of chlorine disinfectant. In addition, UV lamps require electrical power and the periodic replacement of filaments. In order to assess whether the application of a low-pressure UV lamp is justified, water quality tests and an analysis of the operating costs (including the energy consumption) of the water treatment system were carried out for two operation variants—those of the low-pressure UV lamp being turned on and off. The experiments were carried out on the real object of the AGH University of Science and Technology sports swimming pool for one year. The consumption of electricity and water treatment reagents was also measured. The following values of the selected parameters of the swimming pool water quality were observed (for without and with UV lamp, respectively): 0.68 and 0.52 mg/L combined chlorine; 3.12 and 3.02 mg/L dissolved organic carbon; 15.70 and 15.26 µg/L trihalomethanes; 7 and 6 cfu/mL mesophilic bacteria; and 6 and 20 cfu/mL psychrophilic bacteria. Generally, the statistically important differences in water quality parameters were not observed, thus the application of the low-pressure UV lamp in the swimming pool water treatment technology did not bring the expected improvement in water quality. However, the higher consumption of electric energy (by 29%) and chlorine disinfectant (by 15%), and the need to periodically replace the lamp filaments significantly increased the operating costs of the water treatment system (by 21%) and its ecological impact, thus this technology cannot be considered as profitable or ecological.

Full textAbstract:
Global energy consumption has increased the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), these being the main cause of global warming. Within renewable energies, bioenergy has undergone a great development in recent years. This is due to its carbon neutral balance and the fact that bioenergy can be obtained from a range of biomass resources, including residues from forestry, agricultural or livestock industries, the rapid rotation of forest plantations, the development of energy crops, organic matter from urban solid waste, and other sources of organic waste from agro-food industries. Processing factories that use loquats to make products such as liqueurs and jams generate large amounts of waste mainly in the form of skin and stones or seeds. These wastes are disposed of and sent to landfills without making environmentally sustainable use of them. The University of Almeria Sports Centre is made up of indoor spaces in which different sports can be practiced: sports centre pavilion (central court and two lateral courts), rocodrome, fitness room, cycle inner room, and indoor swimming pool. At present, the indoor swimming pool of the University of Almeria (UAL) has two fuel oil boilers, with a nominal power of 267 kW. The main objective of this study is to propose an energetic analysis to determine, on the one hand, the energetic properties of the loquat seed and, on the other hand, to evaluate its suitability to be used as a solid biofuel to feed the boilers of the heated swimming pool of the University of Almeria (Spain), highlighting the significant energy and environmental savings obtained. Results show that the higher calorific value of loquat seed (17.205 MJ/kg), is like other industrial wastes such as wheat straw, or pistachio shell, which demonstrates the energy potential of this residual biomass. In addition, the change of the fuel oil boiler to a biomass (loquat seed) boiler in the UAL’s indoor swimming pool means a reduction of 147,973.8 kg of CO2 in emissions into the atmosphere and an annual saving of 35,739.5 €, which means a saving of 72.78% with respect to the previous fuel oil installation. A sensitivity analysis shows that fuel cost of base case is the variable with the most sensitivity changing the initial cost and net present value (NPV).

Full textAbstract:
Dry eye syndrome is one of the eye health risks frequently suffered by swimmers who swim without goggles. It is initiated by direct contact of eyes with irritants from the disinfection process in the swimming pool. The purpose of this study was to analyze risk differences of using goggles for dry eye syndrome in the Sub Laboratory FIO Surabaya State University (Unesa). This research was an observational with cross sectional study design. The results of statistical tests showed that there were significant differences between swimmers using goggles and without goggles (p = 0,000). An examination of water found that the level of residual chlorine was (<1 mg / l), pH (<7), and alkalinity (> 200 mg / l). It calls the needs for strengthen the precaution for the presence of chemical risks. The result showed that the parameters did not satisfy the requirements of Permenkes RI No. 32 of 2017 about Standard for Environmental Quality and Water Health Requirements for Sanitary Hygiene Needs, Swimming Pools, Solus Per Aqua, and Public Baths. It can be concluded that there are differences in the risk of dry eye syndrome between swimmers who used goggles and without goggles. Swimmers is recommended to wear goggles while swimming to avoid the risk of dry eye syndrome. Furthermore, managers need to monitoring pool water quality in to order comply with term and reduce the risk of dry eye syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates differences in propulsive force between the water surface and underwater conditions in the flutter kick swimming technique. The subjects were well-trained university male swimmers. A towing device was set up in a 25 m swimming pool to measure the towing force and velocity of the swimmer under two conditions: the swimmer was near the water surface and at a depth of 0.60 m. The swimmers performed the gliding trials and the kicking trials with maximum effort with five towing velocities from 1.2 to 2.4 m/s. The passive drag and the resultant force of the propulsive and drag forces in kick swimming were formulated, respectively. The propulsive force was calculated from the difference between the two formulas. A difference of the propulsive force under conditions in high swimming velocity was observed. This suggests that the water surface condition has advantages of raising the foot above water.

Abstract An innovative teaching sequence on underwater diving Physics has been experimented for nine years in a High School in Milano (Italia) to help teachers and students to build a deep comprehension of the wave phenomena. This activity involves all the 15-year-old students attending their second year in the school together with their teachers. It has been implemented under the supervision of the Milano City Police Diving Division in collaboration with the Physics Department of the University of Milan. Many Physics issues, such as optics, acoustics, heat, fluids and dynamics laws, can be explored under water. In the presented contribution the focus will be on the main features of acoustic and electromagnetic waves propagation through air and water by using common descriptors like impedance and energy. The presented proposal may be used as a case study on how to improve the physics teachers’ skills to innovate their educational approach in full autonomy.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: We sought to study the epidemiology of drowning among children reported at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of the patients who presented to the emergency department with a history of drowning over 10 years from January 2008 to December 2017. Patients with children aged one to 18 years old were included in the study. The data including demographics, timing and location of drowning, season, adult supervision, swimming ability, medical risk factors, duration of submersion, on spot resuscitation, emergency medicine department assessment, and hospital management and outcome were collected from electronic hospital information system using a preformed proforma. The outcome was categorized into either full recovery, severe neurological injury, or brain death based on the pediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC). A good outcome represents a score of 1–3 points, and a PCPC of 4–6 points corresponds to a poor outcome. We calculated correlation for all variables with the outcome by using chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. A p-value of < 0.050 is taken as significant value. Results: A total of 74 patients were included in the study; 54 (73.0%) were male, and 47 (63.5%) were aged < 6 years old. More than half (59.4%) of drownings happened in swimming pool, 21 (28.4%) children were unsupervised during the incident, and 39 (52.7%) required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Out of all studied subjects, three (4.1%) were brain dead, and two (2.7%) developed severe neurological injury. On univariate analysis, the following variables were statistically significant (p < 0.050), predicting the poor outcome like lack of adult supervision, duration of submersion >10 minutes, asystole, Glasgow Coma Scale < 8, temperature < 35 oC, pH < 7, anion gap > 20, blood glucose > 10 mmol/L, abnormal chest X-ray findings, rewarming, CPR, intubation, inotropic support, and pediatric intensive care unit admission. Conclusions: Our study suggests that children, especially males under the age of six with no swimming ability, need strict supervision next to bodies of water. Furthermore, preventive measures might include raising community awareness about the risk factors of drowning, commencing public CPR lessons, and strict pool safety regulation by related authorities.

Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores of students taking swimming lessons and their 25-meter freestyle swimming degrees. Methods: A total of 12 male volunteering swimmers studying at Yozgat Bozok University Faculty of Sport Sciences were included in the study. The participants were aged 22.00±0.85, 79.05±11.63 kg in body weight and 178.91±5.03 cm in height. The FMS, a screening test to evaluate functional movement patterns, was applied to the students taking swimming lessons. The short lane freestyle degrees of those students were measured in a 25-meter swimming pool. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between FMS scores and 25m swimming degrees, as the data showed a normal distribution. Results: When the relationship between the FMS scores of the students who took swimming lessons and the 25-meter freestyle swimming degrees was examined, a negative correlation and statistically significant relationship was found between the swimming degrees and the left hurdle step score (r=-0.656, p=0.021) and the FMS total score (r=-0.694, p=0.012). Conclusion: As a result, the FMS total scores of all the students who took swimming lessons participating in the study are above the critical limit of 14 points, and therefore it is safe to state that the participants have a low risk of injury. With the correct application of movement patterns with the help of FMS of the athletes, an increase in swimming performance can be achieved through developing swimming techniques. FMS can be a performance determinant. Keywords: Swimming, Functional Movement Screen, Swimming Degrees, Swimming Performance

This study was aimed to assess the financial feasibility of National Taiwan University (NTU) Outdoor Swimming Pool Renovation and Building Alteration Project to give some practical suggestions to the management. This study applied capital budgeting techniques, and descriptive statistical analysis including frequency distribution, and percentage to assess the financial feasibility of NTU outdoor swimming pool project using data from National Taiwan University Enforcement Rules for Sports Fields Management and Outdoor Swimming Pool Renovation and Building Alteration Project planning, and financial analysis report. The findings showed that: 1. After considering financial indicators, namely net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), self-liquidation ratio (SLR), debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR), and timed interest earned (TIE), the NTU outdoor swimming pool project is financially feasible. 2. The results from the sensitivity analysis showed that the NPV has a significant positive relationship with operating revenue, and significant negative relationships with construction cost, operating expense, and interest rate. These findings can be used as a reference for assessing the financial feasibility and developing operational strategies for not only NTU’s sport facility proposals, but also similar proposals from other domestic universities. Future research is recommended to estimate the intangible benefits of NTU’s outdoor swimming pool project to provide people and the government with a reference for understanding the overall benefits of this project.

Computer technology in this new century is advancing at great speed and has entered an age of marketing and digitalization. The use of advanced technology in digitized management information system (MIS) helps improve the overall productivity and efficiency of a company and has become a social indicator of modernization, driving businesses and industries to develop related software. Conventional management and usage of swimming pools no longer can meet today’s demands, and computerized management has become an inevitable trend for schools to upgrade their quality service. In view of this new trend, we developed a “Membership Service MIS for the National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) Swimming Pool” that uses a standard operation procedure derived by the computer to give the pool a highly efficient, reasonable, modernized, high technical, and systematic service. This system will be greatly beneficial to the overall management of the university pool and will also enhance service quality to meet the needs of consumers. This study used literature reviews and interviews as the basis for developing the membership service MIS. This management system integrates database and the Internet, and uses PHP and HTML along with MySQL to design a front end for consumer search and a back end for membership management. The system allows for comprehensive, uniform, and safe management, reduces human errors, improves service quality, and reduces the workload of the management staff. Users and management staff can easily access the system online, which enables search and information access, as well as immediate update of membership information and membership statistics. This will reduce maintenance and duplicate data as well as reduce human resources and operation procedures. With the system in place, management will have an up-to-date and complete database of member information to help develop mid- and long-term plans, improve work efficiency, and provide better and more convenient services to the public. In turns, this will help increase the competitiveness of NTNU’s pool service.

The method applied randomly sampled 350 members of National Taiwan Sport University swimming pool in the 103 academic year as the study population, conducting “service quality survey,” customer trust survey” and “customer loyalty survey” as the research tool. 237 surveys were collected through a Questionnaire Survey, the data of which will be conducted by Descriptive Analysis and Person’s Product Moment of Coefficient Correlation Analysis. The result of the research indicates: (1) There is a positive correlation between the service quality of National Taiwan Sport University and the customer loyalty. (2) There is a positive correlation between service quality and customer trust. (3) There is a positive correlation between customer trust and customer loyalty. By adopting Multiple Stepwise Regression Analysis on dimensions of service quality, customer trust and customer loyalty, it was discovered that all the elements reach a significance: the extent of customer loyalty can be predicted by service quality and customer trust. In conclusion, the higher the service quality is, the higher the customer trust and customer loyalty are; the lower the service quality is, the lower the customer loyalty and customer trust are; the higher the customer trust is, the higher the customer loyalty is. Moreover, it was discovered that dimensions of service quality can be leveled into (1) reliability (2) assurance (3) empathy and (4) tangibility. Dimensions of customer trust can be leveled into (1) problem solving ability (2) good intentions (3) professional ability. Dimensions of customer loyalty can be leveled into (1) loyal attitude and (2) loyal act. The study is anticipated to offer guidance and to be successfully applied for operation by university and swimming pool managers. keywords: service quality, customer trust, customer loyalty

The water and Na2SO4 water solution boiling investigation had been carried in pool on the surfaces with artificial and natural nucleons sites under different pressures using high speed digital camera. The boiling of water was investigated at atmosphere pressure on a surface with a artificial nucleons site, which had a micro scale (cavity’s diameters – 100 and 200 μm and depth – 80 μm), in the Fridrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nu¨rnberg, Germany in the Institute of Fluid Mechanics. The boiling of water and Na2SO4 water solution with concentration 20 g/l was investigated on a surface with natural nucleons sites in the pressure range 0.1 – 1 MPa in the Moscow Power-Engineering Institute (Technical University) on department of Thermal Physics. The “hand” video processing was used for the study’s results in case of the pool boiling on a surface with a artificial nucleon site. The data processing was realized for the study’s results using with a program “Bubble Detector”, which was specially developed for case of the pool boiling on a surface with the natural nucleon sites, and the “hand” processing was carried for video, which showed the reliability of the program “Bubble Detector”. First the distributions and dependences of basic boiling characteristics (frequency, departure diameter) were obtained at water pool boiling on a surface with a artificial cavity in the range of heat flux from 20 to 128 kW/m2 and the time dependence of vapor bubble’s grow. It was obtained, that departure diameters of vapor bubbles do not depend in case of boiling on a surface with a single cavity practically on heat flux. First the distributions and dependences of swimming velocities and equivalent diameters were obtained at water and Na2SO4 water solution with concentration 20 g/l pool boiling on a surface with natural nucleon sites in range of pressures from 0.1 to 1 MPa. The comparison of diameters’ and swimming velocities’ distributions of vapor bubbles was carried for under consideration conditions.

A 1 MW Direct Fuel Cell® (DFC) power plant began operation at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) in January, 2007. This plant is currently the largest fuel cell plant in the world operating on a university campus. The plant consists of four 250 kW DFC300MA™ fuel cell units purchased from FuelCell Energy, Inc., and a waste heat recovery system which produces dual heating hot water loops for campus building ventilation heating, and domestic water and swimming pool heating water for the University Student Union (USU). The waste heat recovery system was designed by CSUN’s Physical Plant Management and engineering student staff personnel to accommodate the operating conditions required by the four individual fuel cell units as well as the thermal energy needs of the campus. A Barometric Thermal Trap (BaTT) was designed to mix the four fuel cell exhaust streams prior to flowing through a two stage heat exchanger unit. The BaTT is required to maintain an appropriate exhaust back pressure at the individual fuel cell units under a variety of operating conditions and without reliance on mechanical systems for control. The two stage heat exchanger uses separate coils for recovering sensible and latent heat in the exhaust stream. The sensible heat is used for heating water for the campus’ hot water system. The latent heat represents a significant amount of energy because of the high steam content in the fuel cell exhaust, although it is available at a lower temperature. CSUN’s design is able to make effective use of the latent heat because of the need for swimming pool heating and hot water for showers in an adjacent recreational facility at the USU. Design calculations indicate that a Combined Heat and Power efficiency of 74% is possible. This paper discusses the integration of the fuel cell plant into the campus’ energy systems, and presents preliminary operational data for the performance of the heat recovery system.

There are three research reactors of different type in Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University (INET), they are Swimming Pool Shielding Reactor (SPSR), 5MW Nuclear Heating Reactor (NHR-5) and 10MW High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTR-10). The interim storage facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) are applied in these reactors except NHR-5, the SPSR adopts the wet storage for its SNFs, HTR-10 accepts the dry storage due to the ceramic structure of its SNFs. The practical storage conditions including SNFs features, space distribution, SNFs transportation, shielding measures and the safety analysis results including radioactive activity, shielding effect, the total amount of radioactive product leakage to environment are demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract Iceland’s harsh climate limits the number of harvestable cultivars that can be grown outdoors. While Icelandic heated greenhouses enable a larger variety of crops to be grown, their upkeep is labor and resource intensive, and the associated costs can be prohibitive. Professor Robert Dell, Director of the Laboratory for Energy Reclamation and Innovation (LERI) at the Cooper Union has developed an intensive cascade utilization system using waste steam condensate and hot water as a working fluid that creates an outdoor shallow network of plastic pipes for heating garden soil. This research and development, which began in 2007 in New York City and 2009 in Iceland, compares plant growth between heated and control gardens. Previous studies’ test beds used municipal district heated wastewater, waste fluid from a geothermal heated swimming pool, and waste hot water from a traditional heated greenhouse. This paper analyzes the results of enhanced outdoor crop production using a new small-scale, high yield garden from the 2019 growing season at the Agricultural University of Iceland (Landbúnaðarháskóli Islands). The plants studied include turnips, zucchinis, tomatoes, oregano, and a variety of peppers. A plant growth index was developed for analytical purposes. It takes the weighted average of measurements of plant height and the two widest stem spread diameters to quantify growth before the harvest. The plants in heated gardens grew approximately 45% taller and wider on average than those in unheated beds.
