Full textAbstract:
Gas stoves belong to the number of the most wide — spread domestic devices. Research activity concerning these appliances has been stopped in Ukraine some decades ago despite an increase of the natural gas using in municipal economy.
Operation data, power efficiency characteristics and pollution indicators related to on air state by gas combustion in the living accommodation are regulated by the normative documents: national and international standards, regional technical (engineering) conditions of Ukraine, EU countries, Russia, USA, China and other states.
Practically any gas stove is equipped with an atmospheric ejection burner. The principal characteristics of the gas burners, operation peculiarities peculiarities for the atmospheric burners are systematized and analyzed in the presented paper. The following qualitative and quantitative indicators of the atmospheric burners have been considered in this paper: the fuel types to be used (natural gas, liquefied gas), working gas pressure ahead of stove, nominal heat capacity, limit range of operation adjustment, noise by burner operation.
Gas burning under the atmospheric burners operation makes the two-stage process. The physical background of the stable combustion have been considered along with the specific reasons and generalized criteria of the unstable combustions modes: flash-back, blow-off, appearance of the «yellow tips» in the flame.
The atmospheric burners possess both the power and environmental advantages in comparison with the burners of total preliminary mixing of fuel gas and combustion air. Application of primary air excess lpr < 1.0, provides higher efficiency of the burners and need for lower gas pressure ahead of the domestic stoves while the two-stage combustion makes one of the principle techniques of environmentally benign combustion technologies. It has been shown that energetic experiences in ejection burners are proportional to the cube of the air access coefficient, in case of the atmospheric burners — are raised two the third power: ea ~ l3a,pr.
An original methodology experimental researchers for the atmospheric burners of various design and of different companies — manufacturers has been proposed. The methods of the tests performing fully meet to Ukrainian norms and international standards. The computerized firing rig stand with a diagnostic facility has been created providing both power and environmental research of the atmospheric burners with definition of the boundaries of stable operation and breach the combustion stability. An example of the water heating thermogram within the test vessel has been presented providing an opportunity to evaluate the peculiarities of head transfer process by time and space for the system «atmospheric burner – the vessel to be heated and liquid to be boiled».

Full textAbstract:
A low cost heat-conserving stove that uses palm waste briquette (substitute for fuel wood) has been developed. It has a furnace size of 400mm diameter and a height of 400mm with a 90mm inner cylindrical burner. The heating surface of the stove generated about 966 kilojoules of heat. A natural draught of 6m/s (efflux velocity) was used to determine the chimney size. The stove which was designed and fabricated mostly from 3mm low carbon steel (mild steel) material can accommodate different sizes of briquette for both domestic and industrial cooking. The air inlet has a regulating duct that controls the burning of the briquette. The burning rate of the palm waste briquette using the briquette stove was estimated to be approximately 3.0kg/hr. This value was found to be lower than values obtained when the same quantity of briquette was burnt in the open air. The technology is recommended for adoption by women preparing snacks (such as roasted yam. plantain and corn) in market places and along commercial roads.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a review of the experimental design of the small-scale single stone column that adopts the unit cell concept. Materials and methods used in experiments along with their effects and implication have been appraised. The reviewed cases showed that clayey soils were often used to construct the host ground. Steel cylindrical tanks were used with diameters ranging from 15 to 60 cm and heights ranging from 20 to 120 cm. For such scale, the used stone size is 2 to 10 mm. Plates load test can be carried out on the entire tank or on the stone column. The load has been imposed at a constant settlement rate of 1 to 1.25 mm/min in order to simulate the stage immediately after construction. The review shows that remoulding and replacement have been often practised for the construction of the host ground and the stone column, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to derive and empirically test a theoretically grounded model of motivations (socializing, entertainment, self-expression, and information seeking) that lead to the use of Facebook Places. Store atmosphere factors (ambient, design, and social factors) were also investigated as moderators of the relationship between the motivation and use of Facebook Places. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a survey of 504 South Korean Facebook users, this research applies a structural equation modeling approach to test the research hypotheses. Findings – The analysis revealed that motivations such as socializing, entertainment, and self-expression influence the use of Facebook Places, and design factors moderate the relationship between the motivations and the use of Facebook Places. Practical implications – This study provide insights that can help Facebook and store owners develop effective marketing strategies that could increase revenue. When users check-in at a location it creates free word of mouth advertising. Thus, identifying the factors that motivate users to check-in at a particular location will be an important way to advertise. Originality/value – While uses and gratification theory has mainly been used to study mass media, this study applied the theory to Facebook Places, a type of social networking sites-based location-based services. Additionally, this study added store atmosphere elements as moderators, which is an appropriate concept in the context of the Facebook check-in service.

Full textAbstract:
The causes of the fracturing of stone grills in barbecue ovens were analyzed using a coupled analysis model that combined combustion thermodynamics with heat conduction and the finite element method. The proportion of mixed air for combustion was simulated, and the stone grill plate temperature and thermal stress distribution were the two factors taken to enhance the design of stone grill plates. Moreover, thermal images were used to compare the performance of the original and the improved plates to quantify the improvements, and validate the accuracy of the simulations. The results showed that the temperature distribution was uniform across the stone grill plate. When comparing the simulation model and the actual experiment, the simulation model can generate an optimal design with fewer errors in a shorter period. The combustion tube is deemed to have considerable influence on the performance of the barbecue oven. The surface temperature distribution of the stone grill plate was improved by controlling the amount of fuel entering the combustion system and/or changing the material and shape of the stone grill. On the other hand, the analysis results of the improved stone grill plate in this study showed that we can correct the temperature difference and thermal stress difference caused by the opening of the upper cover of the oven. According to our study, the average thermal stress on the surface of the stone grill plate was effectively reduced by 45.3 MPa. The average temperature difference decreased by 91 °C. At the same time, by improving the intake position and method of the combustion tube, the air mass flow in the combustion tube increased by 12%, which effectively improved the combustion efficiency of the combustion tube. In particular, a more uniform distribution was achieved by decreasing the temperature of the mixed air entering the combustion tube, which in turn increased the flow rate and velocity of the air flowing through the top of the flame to the bottom surface of the stone grill plate. The strategies employed can prevent the thermal-stress-induced fracturing of stone grill plates and prolong their service life.

Full textAbstract:
The design of the industrial port of Sepetiba, 50 km south of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, required a detailed evaluation of the underlying soft soil deposits. Initially, on the basis of laboratory tests, it was proposed to remove approximately 3.7 × 106 m3 of the very soft deposits in the stockpile area by dredging and substitute with hydraulic sand fill. Subsequently, in view of the cost of such a measure, a large program of field investigations was initiated to study the in situ characteristics of the soft clay to evaluate whether replacement of this material and (or) ground improvement was necessary. As part of this investigation, two large identically instrumented test fills (test fills B and D), each 65 m2 in plan and 5 m high, with 3:1 slopes were constructed. Test fill B was constructed over natural ground, whereas the subsoil beneath test fill D was treated with stone columns. The instrumentation for each test fill consisted of piezometers, deep settlement plates, surface settlement plates, and inclinometers. This paper provides a description of the field investigations, observations on installation of stone columns, analysis of instrumentation, a comparison of the behaviour of the two test fills, and a discussion on load tests on individual stone columns. Key words : case history, embankment, ground improvement, instrumentation, soft clay, stone columns.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences 352, no. 1352 (April 29, 1997): 469–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstb.1997.0034.
Full textAbstract:
The teeth of sea urchins comprise a variety of different structural entities, all of which are composed of magnesium–bearing calcite together with a small amount of organic material. The teeth are worn down continuously, but in such a way that they remain sharp and functional. Here we describe aspects of the structural, compositional and micromechanical properties of the teeth of Paracentrotus lividus using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectrometry, atomic absorption, X–ray diffraction and microindentation. The S–shaped single crystalline calcitic fibres are one of the main structural elements of the tooth. They extend from the stone part to the keel. The diameter of the fibres increases gradually from less than 1 micrometre at the stone tip to about 20 micrometres at the keel end, while their MgCO 3 contents decrease from about 13 mol per cent to about 4.5 mol %. Each fibre is coated by a thin organic sheath, and surrounded by polycrystalline calcitic discs containing as much as 35 mol % MgCO 3 . This structure constitutes a unique kind of gradient fibre–reinforced ceramic matrix composite, whose microhardness and toughness decrease gradually from the stone part to the keel. Primary plates are also important structural elements of the tooth. Each primary plate has a very unusual sandwich–like structure with a calcitic envelope surrounding a thin apparently amorphous CaCO 3 layer. This central layer, together with the primary plate/disc interface, improves the toughness of this zone by stopping and blunting cracks. The self–sharpening function of the teeth is believed to result from the combination of the geometrical shape of the main structural elements and their spatial arrangement, the interfacial strength between structural elements, and the hardness gradient extending from the working stone part to the surrounding zones. The sea urchin tooth structure possesses an array of interesting functional design features, some of which may possibly be applicable to materials science.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The current context of retail is extremely challenging. Retail environments are pushing consumers to appreciate hedonic aspects of consumption. Retailers are finding new ways to offer customers something unique or special in order to encourage traffic to physical stores. People like to touch, feel, smell, taste, inspect, test and try on. It is a holistic approach that involves both emotional and rational triggers (Meyer, 2006, p. 1). The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The basic proposition is that a shopper’s behavior is influenced by the environment. The environment (store) influences a shopper’s emotions and mood, which in turn influence the shopper’s behavior (Ebster and Garaus, 2011, p. 108). Mehrabian found a significant amount of research to back Holbrook’s findings that “emotion is a key link in the shopping experience” determining that consumers’ reactions within stores are based on their emotional states, which are stimulated by store designs (Mehrabian, 1977). Findings – It is important to focus on engaging the customer both emotionally and behaviorally, which means that the communication on social media and physical retail stores should both excel in emotional appeal, and encourage various forms of interaction with the brand. Increasingly, success at retail is less about what the retailer has to sell and more about how they sell it. This is the new experiential paradigm shift in shopping. This will become even more critical in the future as success at retail will continue to shift toward how well retailers play to the emotions, psychology and feelings of the shopper (Danziger, 2006, p. 17). The need whether utilitarian or hedonic carries them to the store but emotions make them stay and shop. Originality/value – Both utilitarian and hedonic experiences – whether they are derived from consuming products or total experience, including products, people, places and the environment – contribute in differing degrees, to the overall experience of consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Replication technology is commonly used to improve data availability and reduce data access latency in the cloud storage system by providing users with different replicas of the same service. Most current approaches largely focus on system performance improvement, neglecting management cost in deciding replicas number and their store places, which cause great financial burden for cloud users because the cost for replicas storage and consistency maintenance may lead to high overhead with the number of new replicas increased in a pay-as-you-go paradigm. In this paper, towards achieving the approximate minimum data sets management cost benchmark in a practical manner, we propose a replicas placements strategy from cost-effective view with the premise that system performance meets requirements. Firstly, we design data sets management cost models, including storage cost and transfer cost. Secondly, we use the access frequency and the average response time to decide which data set should be replicated. Then, the method of calculating replicas’ number and their store places with minimum management cost is proposed based on location problem graph. Both the theoretical analysis and simulations have shown that the proposed strategy offers the benefits of lower management cost with fewer replicas.

Full textAbstract:
Religious transformations in modern societies are not merely a discursive or demographic phenomenon, they also relate to religious architecture in urban space and affect the built environment at its core. Many churches, for instance, are in the process of reuse, closure, or even demolition. At the same time, there has been an increase in the construction of new mosques and a reorientation in synagogue architecture in Germany for the last twenty-five years. The three religious traditions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—undergo remarkable transformations with regard to the design and style of their places of worship. Often, however, these new designs are not easily ‘readable’ to visitors and believers alike. In addition, the role of contemporary religious architecture in its relation to urban space is changing. Which meanings do religious buildings convey, how are they positioned, and how do they structure urban space? In collaboration of the study of religions and architectural history, we approach these questions by means of studying the transformations of contemporary religious architecture in Germany in a comparative manner. We survey Jewish, Christian, and Muslim places of worship, that is, new constructions, reused, and demolished buildings in Germany since 1990. The selected buildings are studied in detail regarding their meaning and positioning in urban space. This article presents findings from an ongoing research project and opens new perspectives in the study of urban religion.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, based on archaeological and hagiographic sources, the features of constructive solutions (techniques of construction and use of building materials) in the temples of the capital and provincial architectural schools of the middle and late Byzantine period were studied. The author focuses on the two main types of roofs of Byzantine temples – tiles and metal plates, the technology of their construction, roof shapes, the use of certain types of building materials and the specifics of using certain types of roofs in different regions of the Byzantine Empire. Each case of application of a certain technique / building material / type of roof is illustrated by the example of archeological finds or preserved mentions in the hagiographic literature. The study found that the most common version of the roof was ceramic tile, due to the cheapness of the material. A popular type for Byzantine roofs was a tile of weakly conical semi-cylindrical, sometimes flattened, shape; trapezoidal tile provided in the design of a wedge-shaped gutter for water drainage on the outside of the tile. It was found that the process of «assembling» the roof took place by connecting the tiles from the top elements (semi-cylindrical shape with a tooth-shaped end), which were driven between the already connected two tiles. During a study of the manufacture of ceramic tiles, it was found that the process was probably similar to the production of plinths (bricks) in the same kilns; instead, the main difference was that at the time of formation, trapezoidal, flat thin frames were used (so that the tile was formed on one side wider and narrower on the other – to overlap each other), and in the drying process these frames with clay were not placed on sand, and on a wooden board. The author also considered other variations of the tile – depending on the building material and shape. Thus, it was found that the material of the tile could not be limited to ceramics: in areas of construction, where there were no resources for the manufacture of ceramic tiles, stone was made and used. The most expensive and strongest variant of a material for a tile – metal – was chosen also because it was easy in processing. Particular emphasis in the study was placed on the use of metal plates for the roof. So the most popular material for this was lead – it melted at low temperatures, easily rolled into sheets (usually rectangular, but there were exceptions). The technique of construction of a roof with lead plates was that when superimposing plates, one overlapped another, for this purpose in places of seams they were bent and rolled. Lead for Byzantine construction was found to have been mined in several regions, including the northern Balkans, Pontus, and Macedonia. It is also noted that the use of lead plates for the roof contributed to the emergence and development of various forms of the roof (for example, the capital’s architectural school preferred a wavy surface).

In this increasingly difficult economic situation, there is a lot of competition in various fields of life, including competition in the business world. Many companies are competing to get a market, so this spur stores to try to keep moving forward in improving their business. In addition, with the advancement of technology, companies are required to keep up with the times so as not to be left behind by others. For the company to grow and develop properly, the company must be able to anticipate increasingly competitive economic developments by carrying out the right strategy so as not to be left out in the competition. E-Commerce is a dynamic set of technologies, applications, and business processes that connect companies, consumers, and specific communities through electronic transactions and electronic trading of goods, services, and information. Almost all agencies use the internet and have a website for the smooth running of their business. So far, the company does not have a website that can display the products sold by the store so that consumers are less familiar and product sales are less than optimal. User Centered Design (UCD) is a design philosophy that places the user at the center of the system development process. The UCD approach has been supported by various techniques, methods, tools, procedures, and processes that help design interactive systems that are more user-centric

Full textAbstract:
A type of disc-on-plate test methodology was used to determine the wear behavior of metallic binders employed in the manufacturing of diamond impregnated tools. The disc consists of a special circular wheel that allows the binder materials alone (i.e., without diamond, but sintered under conditions identical to those of the complete tool) to be tested against a plate of stone material under pre-determined testing conditions. The testing conditions are intended to be equivalent to those used in the industrial processes. Using plates of five types of granite and one type of marble, this work comprises wear tests of 15 different types of metallic binders and two sintering modes conducted under, at least, three different values of contact-force. The analysis of the results demonstrated that the wear of the binders can be related to their mechanical properties through an empirical expression. The larger the difference between the characteristics of the tribological pair (binder versus stone), the higher is the correlation between the experimental wear data and the values given by the empirical expression. The relationships presented in this work allow predicting the wear behavior of the binder, and therefore may help in the design process of diamond tools. There was a clear difference between the wear behavior of metallic binders when they were employed against the two main classes of stone under analysis (marble and granite).

The teeth of Evenchinus chloroticus are not only vital tools for their survival but also have fascinating structures in the world of science and engineering. Despite being compositionally similar to rocks, these teeth are still able to scrape along the hard surfaces of rocks for food, while having the unique ability to self-sharpen. Yet these abilities arise from the properties of the teeth, which are in turn dependent on their design and composition. Nanoindentation was used in this study to characterise the hardness across the sea urchin tooth in detail. It focuses on the chewing tip since the main grinding function is performed by this region. In addition, SEM and EDS were used to explore any correlations between the mechanical properties of the tooth and its composition. It was found that there were two main relatively hard regions (stone part in the centre of the top flange part and another similar region in the centre of the bottom keel zone). These regions are similar in structure, consisting of thin needles and matrix and have a higher magnesium content compared to other areas of the tooth, which is attributed to the greater proportion of matrix present. Furthermore, the regions below the stone part and at the start of the keel zone appear to be weaker, which might be due to the significant amount of pores in these areas. The sharp tip is maintained by shedding of the primary plates surrounding the stone part and the keel fibres, leaving only the stone part at the chewing tip.

Full textAbstract:
About thirty-five years ago the trend of investing in flagship stores in the fashion and luxury sectors started, and has not stopped even since the last economic crisis. Recently, flagship stores have expanded into new sectors. There is an increased interest in flagship stores; but until now, they have received little attention in academic research. Published papers are mainly related to the fields of luxury shopping and internationalization studies.
Nowadays, the term “flagship store” is ambiguous; it has different meanings. A flagship brand store is, in general terms, the most important, expensive, and representative store of the brand. It has to show the full range of products and services offered. Usually it is the largest store, in the most prestigious location, and adopts original store design solutions; they offer new facilities, and a very high service level. Moreover, flagship designers are famous and prestigious architects; (“Signature” architects, or “Archistars”) and the aim is to create iconic buildings.
The store design solutions are different from other mono-brand stores or franchisee outlets of the company.
Academic research until recent years has overlooked studying the trend of the main luxury and fashion international companies opening flagship stores; which are the most expensive type of retail stores to own, nevertheless a number of questions remain. The purposes of this paper are (1) to consider the evolution of the role of the main types of flagship stores, (2) to establish whether flagship stores constitute a marketing innovation, (3) to discuss factors pushing firms to develop flagship stores and finally, (4) to assess implications for management. In order to answer to our research questions, the study adopts a qualitative approach, in the belief that this type of research is consistent with the research questions. Particularly, we adopted two research methods: interviews and cases studies. We collected interviews with store designers and entrepreneurs. Finally, some information was also collected from secondary sources such as web sites or company news. Our study provides relevant information for marketing managers considering the cost of investing in flagship stores. Vertical branding and new flagship brand stores are becoming increasingly widespread among different firms and sectors, and are bringing to the forefront a requirement for new skills. Particularly in the store design phase, where firms need to be able to take part in constructive dialogue with a wide variety of professional profiles like architects, internal designers, and visual merchandisers. They need a new approach to decoding and displaying the primary values of a brand through innovative store design solutions and sales points, which should be inspired by the communication and entertainment industries. Flagship brand stores should be designed and run to be unique unrepeatable places, able to enhance brand image and provide animation and entertainment value to the brand. Furthermore, flagship store success depends on the firm’s ability to integrate interdisciplinary issues and commercial and artistic-creative communication.

Energy efficiency is becoming more and more important in high temperature processes or for high temperature applications. In order to achieve thermally efficient processes, heat accumulators and heat exchangers are increasingly being used to store or to recover the process heat [1]. Currently used commercial heat exchanger systems are based on stacked plates or tubes. Primarily they are produced from metals which have a high thermal conductivity and show gas-tightness. Ceramics or ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are novel material candidates due to their higher resistance in severe environments, their ability to withstand extremely high operating temperatures and especially, their high thermal shock resistance. In order to fabricate HX with ceramic designs, joining is the key technology to perform complex shaped components [2].

Abstract: At Present, in Aviation industry there is a strong and rapid growing interest in the development of Urban/Rural Air Mobility (U/RAM) networks, which are aerial transportation systems in, and around major metropolitan areas and rural hilly region where less possibilities of operating big passenger aircraft to cover short distance in challenging geographical location. STOVL capabilities for fixed-wing aircraft is one application of this technology. For rural passenger transport missions in remote area of Nepal, it is risky and difficult during landing in Hilly and Himalayan region due to geographic land structure and slope runway to operate big size passenger or cargo aircraft. Hence, the sole aim of this paper is to present the practical alternative to these problems in the early days of rural air transportation in aviation industries in Nepal. Here, we discuss about the air accidents that occurred in Nepali sky and along with their reason so we decided to try our level best to come up with solution i.e., our proposed design VAAYU YAAN. This paper clarifies the main motive of deploying VAAYU YAAN over conventional aircrafts. It is designed in a such a way that it can solve the problem of fatal accidents in aerial transportation in Hilly and Himalayan region faced as result of topographical difficulties, slope and small runway issues along with air traffic problems and helps in enhancing the public transportation all over the country for regional mobility due to short takeoff and vertical landing capacity. As a result of this feature, due to less risk in mobilization of aerial vehicle in Hilly and Himalayan places, people across the country will be connected and benefited. Keywords: VAAYU YAAN, STOVL, Hilly and Himalayan air mobility, Conceptual Design, Topographical challenges etc.

A Neolithic Stone Coffin in Bjergby on Mors The mound is located on “Højsager” in Bjergby on the peninsula Mors. P.C.O. Nørgard from Morsland’s Historical Museum investigated it in 1966. The excavation exposed a small stone coffin in the eastern side of the mound. It contained a well-preserved skeleton of a slight person. A double button from Period II found at the waist, dates the grave to the Early Bronze Age. At the foot of the grave was also a heap of burnt human bones. They may be the remains of a person sacrificed – a parallel to the bundle of burnt bones found in the grave of the Egtved girl.In the centre of the mound was another coffin, which had been disturbed. The grave fill was completely messed up, but it did contain some skeleton remains.A third stone coffin was found south of the mound centre, just underneath the ploughed soil. It had been built in a deep hole, filled with stones. Above and around the grave and just underneath the layer of ploughed soil was a 35-40-cm thick, tightly packed stone layer. This stone layer covered several layers of flat stones covering the grave. Apart from a single granite stone, they were all sedimentary rock from the moler clay layer, at least one came from the beach about 3.5 km away. The large flat stones were packed closely so that they constituted a four-layer cover. The stone coffin was almost precisely E-W orientated. It was 1.9-m long and 0.40-m wide and built from thin plates of sedimentary rock. Each long side was made from four carefully fitted side stones, with a single stone at either end. In the eastern end, a clay border adjoined the side stones. The floor in the coffin was made from thin, flat plates of sedimentary rock, joined with sand.On the bottom of the coffin was a very well preserved skeleton, stretched out on the back with the head towards the west. By the left arm of the skeleton was a c.26- cm long flint dagger of type IC, with parallel chipping. The end of the handle had been used to strike light.The proportions and other design of this late Neolithic stone coffin correspond completely to the stone coffins from the Early Bronze Age. The type classification should therefore be considered defi nite. The coffin contained just one body, completely undisturbed. Next to the body was a type IC knife. The structure thus undoubtedly dates from the SN A and represents a stone coffin positively dating from this period.Stone coffins differ from stone cists in that the latter are burial chambers constructed for the repeated burial of a wood coffin or a wrapped body, whereas stone coffins are individual grave structures meant to be used only once for a wood coffin or a wrapped body. The stone coffins are a very frequent grave type during the Early Bronze Age, and at least two Zealandic stone coffins date already from period I of the Bronze Age.So far, the question has been whether there are also Late Neolithic stone coffins, i.e. grave structures consisting of flat stone blocks built during the Late Neolithic for just one body, which was placed in the stone grave during the funeral for which it was built. The dating of this stone cist to the SN A shows that this was the case.At the same time it makes it probable that a number of other stone coffins should also date from the Late Neolithic, for instance grave A in the burial mound of ”Solbakken” in Skodsborg on Zealand. This grave contained a single skeleton, stretched out on its back with the head towards the west and with a knife in the belt. The knife belongs to type IIB and dates the grave to SN B. The stone coffin was contemporary with the stone cist (grave B), which was also found in the mound. This structure thus documents that stone coffins and stone cists could be built at the same time during the late Neolithic.Two stone coffins were found in the easternmost of the Tågerup mounds by Hejnstrupgård in eastern Zealand. Both seem to have been built for just one burial, and at least stone coffin A is positively identified as a Late Neolithic stone coffin.An older find from Skræm in Thy probably represents a Late Neolithic stone coffin. A flint dagger of type VC gives it a dating from SN C. Several other finds, two of which were made at Grurup and Vestervig in Thy respectively, are more uncertain.The investigation shows that stone coffins were built during the whole of the Late Neolithic simultaneously with stone cists. Apart from the stone coffins from “Solbakken” in Solrød and the “Eastern Tågerup mound” by Hein strupgård, are all structures situated in the western Limfjord area. We are thus dealing with a predominantly local grave form. The continuity with the stone coffins of the older Bronze Age is very clear, not only concerning the construction by Heinstrupgård, but also in the Limfjord area, as the stone coffins from period II are clearly concentrated within the Thy area.Klaus EbbesenHørsholmTranslated by Annette Lerche Trolle

Sales are still carried out traditionally or using less good places for distribution because they rely only on customers who come to the store, so the innovation of online sales technology or e-business is needed. The creation is to build e-commerce as a medium for buying and selling online with a broader market coverage. E-commerce is a system designed to process goods and services' buying, selling, and marketing through an electronic system. They built this e-commerce using UML (Unified Modeling Language) and PHP-MySql programming language. Some UML diagrams are used, such as Usecases, Activity Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, and Class Diagrams, and assisted with interface design before being translated into applications. Its e-commerce is built into two parts: the admin panel and the user panel on the system, where this e-commerce is based on a website. The admin panel is managed by the section owner as the manager of online sales management, while the board is the system user who makes transactions from the system. The tests involve random owners and users to get responses to the e-commerce so that they are implemented on an ongoing basis.

Full textAbstract:
. Various types of protection are used in order to ensure rigidity in earth dam slopes and dumped rip-rap and precast and cast-in-situ reinforced plates are the most commonly used for this purpose. Durability and reliability of the protections mainly depend on the fact whether protection parameters have been correctly calculated and correspondingly observed during the process of protection creation, the main protection parameters are material diameter of dumped rip-rap and thickness of reinforced plates. Values of protection parameters calculated in accordance to the existing formulae significantly differ among themselves. Some of these formulae are acceptable for small water reservoirs in Belarus and provide actual results only for large water reservoirs where a wave height reaches two metres and even more. A new calculation methodology which is suitable for Belarusian water reservoirs of various size is proposed with the purpose to determine diameter of dumped rip-rap material and thickness of plates for earth dam slope protection in the zone of active wave impact. The methodology has been developed on the basis of the theory pertaining to limit equilibrium of slope shearing and holding forces. While calculating diameter of dumped rip-rap material the following shearing forces have been taken into account: uplift wave pres- sure depending on wave height; drag force which is formed on the slope due to back sweep of wave; shearing component of protection material gravity force which is dependent on preselected slope ratio. Holding forces are determined with due ac- count of main physical and mechanical properties of dumped rip-rap material: density of particles in water suspension, porosi- ty, internal friction and holding component of protection material gravity force. While developing methodology for calcula- tion of reinforced concrete plate thickness a drag force has not been taken into account because the flow which is formed on the plate surface does not exert an influence on their equilibrium. Bottom slope zone where hydrodynamic pressure is created by bottom velocity has usually a reduced-weight protection in the form of broken stone, gravel and finely broken stone rip-rap. Dependences for determination of dumped rip-rap fineness have been obtained as a result of slope rigidity criterion conversion. The proposed formulae for calculation of earth dam slope protection parameters can be recommended for applica- tion in design organizations.

There are different places in India where natural stone aggregates are not available for constructional work. Plastic coated OBBA can solve the problem of shortage of stone aggregate to some extent. The engineers are always encouraged to use locally available materials. The present investigation is carried out to evaluate the plastic coated OBBA as an alternative material for bituminous road construction. Shredded waste plastics are mixed with OBBA in different percentages as 0.38, 0.42, 0.46, 0.50, 0.54, and 0.60 of the weight of brick aggregates. Marshall Method of mix design is carried out to find the optimum bitumen content of such bituminous concrete mix prepared by plastic coated OBBA. Bulk density, Marshall Stability, flow, Marshall Quotient, ITS, TSR, stripping, fatigue life, and deformations have been determined accordingly. Marshall Stability value of 0.54 percent of plastic mix is comparatively higher than the other mixes except 0.60 percent of plastic mix. Test results are within the prescribed limit for 0.54 percent of plastic mix. There is a significant reduction in rutting characteristics of the same plastic mix. The fatigue life of the mix is also significantly higher. Thus plastic coated OBBA is found suitable in construction of bituminous concrete road.

This article uses the materials of archaeological researches of the monuments and iconographic sources to make a detailed analysis of some architectonic members the medrese in the town of Krym (Solkhat; now Staryi Krym, formerly Eski-Kyrym), which was built in 733 AH (=1332/33 AD) by the order from Indzhi-Bay Hatun, a daughter of Kyl-Burun Bay. The results of the research allow a reliable restoration of the original appearance of the entrances to the living rooms of the building. The doorways of the hujras belonged to the same type, with inconsiderable difference of dimensions at some places. Despite the clearly distinguished centre with the dominant monumental portal designating the longitudinal axis of the structure, the medrese’s main facade had an asymmetric composition. Its sides had different numbers and arrangement of windows and stone gutters. The design and shape of the openings which illuminated eastern hujras are reconstructed with reliability. The basic planes of the main facade were decorated with profiled protrusions that completely framed the wall around the perimeter, simultaneously highlighted the basement and contoured the window frames. The most problematic is a detailed reconstruction of the lost forms of the portal which general outline appears on M. M. Ivanov’s watercolours. So far there is no doubt concerning the solid profiled reglet which framed the portal on the outer side: it outlined the portal’s main surfaces by limiting them above and on the back side. The graphic reconstruction of the whole structure with its minor details depends, to a great extent, on the introduction into the scholarship of absolutely all architectural, structural and decorative members discovered in Staryi Krym and especially those excavated from the building in question.

Torino, in 1861, was the first capital of the just unified Reign of Italy. In the same year, Eng. A. Mazzucchetti was charged for the design of the railway station of Porta Nuova in Torino, in correspondence of the arrival of the railway connecting Genova. The original conception resembles the bilateral scheme of the King Cross station in London, which is few years older. The design and construction of the station deserved contributions from the most outstanding scientists of that time, including R. Sephenson who provided the details of the lateral roof structures of the station, and the young Eng. A. Castigliano who defended his thesis on the design of the great steel vault above the rails. The two main branches were conceived with masonry bearing structure and a wide span timber roof covered with stone plates. The station, during the years, was object of several interventions, including restorations, dismantling of parts, and changes in the destination of use. Nowadays, the roof structure needs for important maintenance interventions due to the water leaking which caused the deterioration of the beneath timber structure. The present holders are considering the replacement of the entire roof. This solution is not respectful for conservation criteria, nor is affordable from an economical point of view. The present study describes the correct and sustainable approach for the structural assessment, restoration and maintenance program for the preservation of this important structure belonging to cultural heritage.

Abstract. The "history" of places exists as a stratification process of events that have occurred over time in a specific place, leaving more or less appreciable physical traces. The "memory" of the places, instead, is the result of a conscious choice of events to be handed down to future generations constructing the identity of a community and a recognisable image of places. It is in this sense that the project conducted in Quota, a mountain village in central Tuscany, Italy should be interpreted and set. The urban redevelopment process led to the design and reconstruction of a small agricultural artefact, particularly important to the local community given its location near a public fountain. Initially identified as the subject of an exercise to be conducted as part of the Thematic Seminar "Survey, redevelopment and redesign of architecture and environment", the redesign offered an opportunity to "re-invent" a neglected corner of the village taking as reference the traces of the ancient village fountains to create the plot of a new "story" involving the small local community. The reconstruction was carried out using traditional techniques with stone ashlars and cement mortar. To complete it, a corten steel staircase designed with reverse engineering methods and modelled using experimental 3D photo-modelling was created. The "Quota chestnut dryer" proved to be a virtuous process involving various subjects to enable the recovery of a degraded area, a possible model for the preservation of villages in the Apennines of central Italy, authentic sites of collective memory.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the varied needs of persons who have lost a lower limb in their everyday lives, ankle-foot prosthetic technology is continually evolving. Numerous prosthetic ankles have been created in recent years to restore the ankle function of lower limb amputees. Most ankle foot prostheses, on the other hand, are passive, such as the solid ankle cushion heel and the energy storage and release foot (ESAR). The solid ankle foot can only provide steady vertical support during ambulation; however, the ESAR foot can store energy and gradually release it throughout human walking periods, hence increasing the walking pace of amputees. The aim of this work is to describe the design and manufacture of an actuated ankle-foot prosthesis. The main benefit of powered ankles is that they are capable of mimicking natural stride, particularly in steep or uneven terrain conditions. The primary objective is to establish two degrees of freedom of ankle rotation in two planes, plantar flexion and dorsiflexion in the sagittal plane, besides inversion and eversion in the frontal plane. As software can improve the gait stability, an automatic modifiable transmission arrangement was prepared for delivering the current design motions in the sagittal plane based on empirical collected biomechanical data related to passive prosthetic normal gait circumstances. However, the ankle rolling in the frontal plane was guided mechanically by means of mono leaf spring. The majority of the ankle mechanical components are made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and are integrated onto ESAR carbon fiber laminated foot. For a unilateral above-knee amputee, the ankle function at self-selected walking was assessed, achieving maximum results of 10° inversion, 10° eversion, 12° plantar flexion and 18° dorsiflexion ankle angles. Also, the patient gait experiment in a normal cadence showed an improvement in plantar flexion behavior for the powered ankle in contrast with the passive ankle

This article aims to analyze three significant examples of defensive walls from South-East Asia made of solid stone blocks (both rock as well as stone-like laterite) and provided with different but equivalent functions –a fortified imperial capital-city (Angkor Thom, in Cambodia), a fortified royal citadel (Ho Citadel, in the North of Vietnam) and a royal palace with a partly fortified appearance (Ratu Boko, in Java Island, Indonesia)–, focusing on their constructive and technical characteristics and establishing parallels between them and their closest counterparts, from China and India. We will see how their design and structure can be closely related to the fortifications of neighbouring empires, as places of origin of their strong cultural influences and, at the same time, we will try to identify the local particularities. We will pay special attention to the form of the fortified enceintes, considering the long tradition of the quadrangular plan in the walls of royal capitals, inspired in the ideal model of Chinese and Indian cities. Our research also make us think that the walls of Ratu Boko, despite their functions as symbolic limits or for retaining the soil, could also have had a defensive purpose, no matter if secondary, or at least they could be used to provide protection to the complex in case of external menace.

This is the second part of a discussion on the challenges of a second decade of ubimus research. I discuss the issues involved in supporting knowledge transfer in musical activities. I lay out and exemplify the concept of metaphor for creative action. I summarize the results of three studies employing the time tagging metaphor, configuring an effective strategy for supporting everyday musical creativity. Then I report results of a study employing the stripe meta- phor – an extension of time tagging devised for usage of a large number of resources. Twelve subjects, encompassing musicians and casual participants, realized improvisatory sessions in a non-standard setting – an audio and musical equipment store. The results indicated a promising new avenue of research targeting lay-musician interaction. The results also raised new questions regarding the strategies adopted for knowledge transfer support. The last section of the paper places these results within the context of the ongoing ubimus efforts, highlighting four issues that have emerged as viable research avenues: everyday musical creativity, lay-musician interaction, design for sustainability and design for distributed creativity.

Three recent independently developed models suggest that some Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments exhibit dual design properties in monument complexes by pairing obverse structures. Parker Pearson’s1 materiality model proposes that monuments of wood are paired with monuments of stone, these material metaphors respectively signifying places of rituals for the living with rituals for the dead. Higginbottom’s2 landscape model suggests that many western Scottish megalithic structures are paired in mirror-image landscape locations in which the horizon distance, direction and height of one site is the topographical reverse of the paired site – all in the service of ritually experiencing the liminal boundaries to the world. Sims’3 diacritical model suggests that materials, landscapes and lunar-solar alignments are diacritically combined to facilitate cyclical ritual processions between paired monuments through a simulated underworld. All three models combine in varying degrees archaeology and archaeoastronomy and our paper tests them through the case study of the late Neolithic/EBA Stonehenge Palisade in the Stonehenge monument complex.

Full textAbstract:
The bipolar plates of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are of focus for improvement since they are responsible for most of the fuel cell stack weight and volume. Traditionally these flow fields are machined or stamped out of a graphitic or metallic material. Recent research has shown that additively manufactured metal plates show comparable performance to those made with conventional method. Due to the layer-by-layer nature, there is a great deal of design flexibility for additively manufactured parts. This allows for far more freedom in flow field designs, such as a tubular flow field with internal channels. In recent years there have been developments of tubular PEMFCs. Numerical simulation reported in literature have shown that tubular PEMFCs provide higher power density [1], more uniform reactant gas velocity distribution [2], and a smaller pressure gradient [3].The goal of the tubular model in our study was to replicate in size a standard AAA battery , so the total dimensions of the fuel cell were limited at a height of 40.5 mm and a diameter of 10.5 mm, with a cell active area of 987 mm2. The tubular channel length was approximately 400 mm. For reference, a conventional (planar) single serpentine fuel cell with a comparable 982 mm2 active area was used, replicating a scaled down commercially available design from Fuel Cell store. This planar design had square channels with a depth of 1.016 mm and a channel width of 0.7874 mm. The length of the channel was approximately 550 mm. For both designs, the land widths were 0.7874 mm to maintain a 1:1 channel-land width ratio. The gas diffusion layer (GDL), microporous layer (MPL), catalyst layer, and membrane had respective thicknesses of 360 μm, 50 μm, 10 μm, and 50 μm. The channel geometry for the tubular fuel cell was changed from rectangular to a semicircle, as the additive manufacturing process is not adept at building overhangs with supports. To maintain an accurate comparison, the cross-sectional area of the planar and tubular channels was kept constant at 0.79 mm2. This flow field would be incorporated into the outer anode flow field of the final tubular design, so hydrogen at 80°C was used as the fluid. A volumetric flow of 0.24 L/min was used as the inlet boundary condition. Initially, basic fluid flow simulations were performed on several tubular serpentine flow field designs (Figure 1). The double corkscrew Tubular v4 design had the greatest pressure drop, which was due to the fact the cross-sectional area was divided into two smaller sections. Tubular v2 and v3 had similar results being the most alike geometrically. Tubular v1, which split off into two symmetrical flow channels, exhibited the lowest pressure drop as the half channels cut down on the distance the hydrogen would have to travel inlet to outlet. With the chosen design Tubular v1, this geometry was used for the PEMFC module. Various changes were made to the tubular model to simulate the new design. Our proprietary membrane electrode assembly (MEA) design had no GDL present in the cathode layer, with oxygen being pumped directly through the cathode catalyst layer. This design assured that the supplied O2 concentration is much higher since its transport is by convection instead of diffusion. The ANSYS PEMFC model will not run if there is no defined GDL between the gas channel and MPL, so this was circumvented by directly changing the properties of the catalyst layer. To model this, the mass fraction of the oxygen in the cathode catalyst layer was increased from 0.2 to 0.3. It is also expected for the flowing of oxygen to flush away any water formation, so the water formation was limited. Due to the water mass balance taking place in the model, limiting liquid water formation increased the dissolved water inside of the membrane. The electrochemical surface area was increased to account for the higher surface area of the Pt catalyst in our proprietary MEA design. These modifications showed an increase in performance for the tubular cell when compared with the standard planar design as seen in Figure 2. Limiting the liquid water formation and selecting a geometry with a more uniform pressure distribution resulted in a cell with higher power density. The removal of the GDL and increase of air flow allowed for a higher oxygen concentration at the cathode catalyst interface. With oxygen no longer being a limiting reactant, the cell was able to perform at a higher power output. Figure 1

Natural gas NG consumption in industry and energy of Ukraine, in recent years falls down as a result of the crisis in the country’s economy, to a certain extent due to the introduction of renewable energy sources along with alternative technologies, while in the utility sector the consumption of fuel gas flow rate enhancing because of an increase the number of consumers. The natural gas is mostly using by domestic purpose for heating of premises and for cooking. These items of the gas utilization in Ukraine are already exceeding the NG consumption in industry. Cooking is proceeding directly in the living quarters, those usually do not meet the requirements of the Ukrainian norms DBN for the ventilation procedures. NG use in household gas stoves is of great importance from the standpoint of controlling the emissions of harmful components of combustion products along with maintenance the satisfactory energy efficiency characteristics of NG using. The main environment pollutants when burning the natural gas in gas stoves are including the nitrogen oxides NOx (to a greater extent — highly toxic NO2 component), carbon oxide CO, formaldehyde CH2O as well as hydrocarbons (unburned UHC and polyaromatic PAH). An overview of environmental documents to control CO and NOx emissions in comparison with the proper norms by USA, EU, Russian Federation, Australia and China, has been completed. The modern designs of the burners for gas stoves are considered along with defining the main characteristics: heat power, the natural gas flow rate, diameter of gas orifice, diameter and spacing the firing openings and other parameters. The modern physical and chemical principles of gas combustion by means of atmospheric ejection burners of gas cookers have been analyzed from the standpoints of combustion process stabilization and of ensuring the stability of flares. Among the factors of the firing process destabilization within the framework of analysis above mentioned, the following forms of unstable combustion/flame unstabilities have been considered: flashback, blow out or flame lifting, and the appearance of flame yellow tips.

During the last decade, the internet has introduced the information age and electronic commerce (e-Commerce) to millions of individuals worldwide, even those living in rural places, thus providing companies with an alternative platform for customer contact than brick-and-mortar stores. Therefore, businesses must alter their conventional marketing techniques and develop new approaches to engage consumers on the platforms where they want to connect and make purchases. This study assessed the perceived challenges in using Digital Marketing to boost sales at retail stores in the Transkei region. A qualitative and exploratory research design was used to collect data from store managers through face-to-face interviews. A non-probability sampling technique, known as purposive sampling, was employed to identify 14 store managers based on their knowledge of the subject matter. The findings of this study show that several factors, such as government legislation [the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act of 2016], which states that customers cannot be contacted without their express consent; customers' perceptions; poor connectivity in rural areas; costs and angry customer responses are some of the retailers'challenges in employing Digital Marketing. This research could assist the management of retail stores to comprehend the company's challenges and facilitate the implementation of Digital Marketing initiatives to improve service quality, especially during this period of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study has contributed to the Digital Marketing literature in developing countries and laid the groundwork for future research.

Want to know about the latest innovation in capacitor technology? Here's how researchers are building better capacitors with organic compounds.
Introduction
Capacitors are one of the most fundamental passive components in electrical circuits.1 Like batteries, they store a charge, but unlike batteries, they do not discharge at a fairly constant rate. Instead, it depends on the change in voltage between their terminals and the inherent capacitive properties they possess.2-3 Since the voltage between the terminals of a capacitor cannot change instantaneously, they can be used in applications where it needs to be stabilized, governed, and tuned.
Capacitors haven't seen much innovation over the years; however, newer high-voltage electrical applications in smart grids, electric vehicles, and signal processing have called for scientists and researchers to design better capacitors that can prevent bottlenecks in future technologies.4-5 Organic compounds may soon change that. But how?
Why Problems Plague Capacitors?
Before we elaborate on how organic compounds can help us, we need to discuss the problems facing capacitors. Capacitors have two plates of conducting materials separated by an insulating layer. Charged gets stored on the plates by virtue of an electric field when a difference in voltage is applied between the two plates.
The insulating layer (dielectric) in the middle facilitates the electric field by preventing an electrical connection between the two plates, determining the capacitance of the component and the energy it stores. Common dielectric materials used in capacitors include paper, metal oxides, and plastics.
The problem lies in material selection for the dielectric. These materials tend to break down, degrade, and leak out depending on the voltage, frequency, temperature, and environment of the capacitor. This impacts their longevity and makes them a common point of failure in many electrical and electronic applications. In some cases, their failure may lead to short circuits that impact other components of the electrical circuit.

How Can Organic Compounds Address These Problems?
Organic compounds are a class of materials that deal with carbon and its bond with other atoms. Carbon forms strong covalent bonds with other atoms to form compounds that require a strong electric field to strip away electrons; however, at the molecular level, weaker interactive bonds allow the electric current to pass, making organic compounds, as a whole, a weak dielectric material for capacitors.
The answer lies in hydrogels and their interaction via supramolecular assembly chemistry. In a paper published in the American Chemical Society in 2018, researchers claimed to have fabricated a solid-state capacitor with plates and dielectric made out of organic compounds PEDOT (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) and PVA poly-vinyl alcohol.
The resultant hydrogel electrode and electrolyte enables the flexible capacitor to withstand higher voltages, store more energy, and make it more durable. Although, in its infancy, more researchers are now following the same principle and trying different organic compound configurations that result in better hydrogel combinations.

Transportation has evolved greatly in recent years. With the modern Technologies, the automobile industry has obtained new heights with the respect to speed, efficiency and security. Despite growth and improvement in technology there has been rise in the rate of accidents. The technology used in the proposed design is embedded system. It is used to access, process, store and control the data. Now-a-day’s traffic rules are frequently violated by the drivers and over speeding occur due to bad driving behaviour. It may not be possible to view the regulatory (sign) boards placed by the Road safety Department to alert the drivers in such kind of places and there is a chance for accident. The main objective of the Project is to design and develop a new system that can effectively detect speed violations on the road, and support the driver to obey traffic rules while driving by maintaining the speed of vehicle in accordance to the speed limit prescribed for the particular zone. The proposed system gives an alert with the help of voice module and LCD. The main objective of the project is to overcome the challenges which include accidents that occur due to lack of concentration, conversing over phone while driving and the pollution emitted by the vehicles.

Physical hygiene has been of importance since the existence of human being. Human being has tried to solve this problem as the problems of nourishment, housing, making life easy against nature, and making life meaningful. Human being has developed an important culture for thousands of years. Human being learning how to make a fire in the Stone Age (Neolithic age) started to worship smoke and water vapor. Human being believed in purifying with vapor or smoke. We see that people started to allocate space to bathing areas in their residences after they began permanent settlement.1 Thanks to the obtained findings, we know that they produced solutions to wet spaces and established transportation systems for clean and waste water. We see the first examples of those in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and in Hittite in Anatolia. We see that spaces functioning as “bath rooms” or bathing places in gymnasiums in Ionia and Greece were converted into multipurpose social building societies in Rome; and they came to be “bathhouses” having social function and forming bathhouse cultures in Seljuk and Ottoman cultures. At the present time, general bathrooms (bathhouses) lost their importance and acquired new usage functions and approaches. They are one of the absolute must units of the spaces, particularly of residential spaces. They are special and elaborate spaces where the individual prepares himself for the day. Surface covering of bath spaces is ceramic. It is natural that equipments of special and elaborate spaces are also special and elaborate, which is the case at the present time. It has many dimensions from quality safety to aesthetical variety; and these phenomena are main problematic side of design of bath space, its materials and equipments.
