Full textAbstract:
There is a common agreement in literature that a company can create a sustainable competitive advantage by mastering knowledge and knowledge transfer. This requires to forward knowledge to other units at the correct time and in the right way.
The purpose of this research study is to explain in the first step general theoretical considerations related to the concept of knowledge, knowledge management as well as knowledge transfer. In a second step these concepts are illustrated with the help of four points of impact.
Some important aspects are discussed. First, the individual in the process of knowledge transfer is regarded: its behaviors, its interactions with its professional environment. Second, key tools are extended and finally the factors which influenced the process are presented.
Out of this a model is developed in an approach divided into three parts: the individual, social/collective and company perspective. This model also includes a process of knowledge transfer, the knowledge sharing achievement through a description of the main tools and actions which create a dynamic between the actors. In the last part we focus on a technical solution which can help companies to implement a knowledge transfer dynamic.

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge is an important resource, whose transfer is still not completely understood. The underlying belief of this thesis is that knowledge cannot be transferred directly from one person to another but must be converted for the transfer and therefore is subject to loss of knowledge and misunderstanding. This thesis proposes a new model for knowledge transfer and empirically evaluates this model. The model is based on the belief that knowledge must be encoded by the sender to transfer it to the receiver, who has to decode the message to obtain knowledge. To prepare for the model this thesis provides an overview about models for knowledge transfer and factors that influence knowledge transfer. The proposed theoretical model for knowledge transfer is implemented in a prototype to demonstrate its applicability. The model describes the influence of the four layers, namely code, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic layers, on the encoding and decoding of the message. The precise description of the influencing factors and the overlapping knowledge from sender and receiver facilitate its implementation. The application area of the layered model for knowledge transfer was chosen to be business process modelling. Business processes incorporate an important knowledge resource of an organisation as they describe the procedures for the production of products and services. The implementation in a software prototype allows a precise description of the process by adding semantic to the simple business process modelling language used. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a new model for knowledge transfer, which shows the process of knowledge transfer in greater detail and highlights influencing factors. The implementation in the area of business process modelling reveals the support provided by the model. An expert evaluation indicates that the implementation of the proposed model supports knowledge transfer in business process modelling. The results of the qualitative evaluation are supported by the findings of a qualitative evaluation, performed as a quasi-experiment with a pre-test/post-test design and two experimental groups and one control group. Mann-Whitney U tests indicated that the group that used the tool that implemented the layered model performed significantly better in terms of completeness (the degree of completeness achieved in the transfer) in comparison with the group that used a standard BPM tool (Z = 3.057, p = 0.002, r = 0.59) and the control group that used pen and paper (Z = 3.859, p < 0.001, r = 0.72). The experiment indicates that the implementation of the layered model supports the creation of a business process and facilitates a more precise representation.

Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Structured packing is a popular column internal for both distillation and absorption unit operations. This is due to the excellent mass transfer characteristics and low pressure drop that it offers compared to random packing or trays. The main disadvantage is the lack in reliable models to describe the mass transfer characteristics of this type of packing. The recent development of the non-equilibrium model or rate based modelling approach has also emphasized the need for accurate hydraulic and efficiency models for sheet metal structured packing. The main focus of this study was to develop an accurate model for the mass transfer efficiency of Flexipac 350Y using a number of experimental and modelling techniques. Efficiency is however closely related to hydraulic capacity. Before attempting to measure and model the efficiency of Flexipac 350Y, the ability of existing published models to accurately describe the hydraulic capacity of this packing was tested. Holdup and pressure drop were measured using air/water and air/heavy paraffin as test systems. All experiments were performed on pilot plant scale 200mm ID glass columns. Satisfactory results were obtained with most of the models for determining the loading point and pressure drop for the air/water test system. All of the models tested predicted a conservative dependency of capacity on liquid viscosity for the air/paraffin test system. Efficiency and pressure drop were measured using the chlorobenzene/ethylbenzene test systems under conditions of total reflux in a 200mm ID glass column. Widely differing results were however obtained with the different models for the efficiency of Flexipac 350Y. Experiments were subsequently designed and performed to measure and correlate the vapour phase mass transfer coefficient and the effective surface area of Flexipac 350Y independently. The vapour phase mass transfer coefficient was measured and correlated by subliming naphthalene into air from coatings applied to specially fabricated 350Y gauze structured packing. The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the vapour phase mass transfer coefficient is also demonstrated. The effective surface area for vapour phase mass transfer was measured with the chemical technique. The specific absorption rate of CO2 into monoethanolamine (MEA) using n-propanol as solvent was determined in a wetted-wall column and used to determine the effective surface area of Flexipac 350Y on pilot plant scale (200mm ID glass column). The efficiency of Flexipac 350Y could be modelled within an accuracy of 9% when using the correlations developed in this study and ignoringliquid phase resistance to mass transfer for the chlorobenzene/ethylbenzene test system under conditions of total reflux. The capacity and efficiency of the new generation high capacity packing Flexipac 350Y HC was also measured and compared with that of the normal capacity packing Flexipac 350Y. An increase in capacity of 20% was observed for the HC packing for the air/water system and 4% for the air/heavy paraffin system compared with the normal packing. For the binary total reflux distillation the increase in capacity varied between 8% and 15% depending on the column pressure. The gain in capacity was at the expense of a loss in efficiency of around 3% in the preloading region.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gestruktureerde pakking is 'n populêre pakkingsmateriaal en word algemeen gebruik in distillasie en absorpsie kolomme. Dit is hoofsaaklik as gevolg van die goeie massa-oordragseienskappe en lae drukval wat dit bied in vergelyking met 'random' pakking en plate. The hoof nadeel is egter die tekort aan akkurate modelle om die massa-oordrags eienskappe te bepaal. Om modelle te kan gebruik waar die massaoordragstempo direk gebruik word om gepakte hoogte te bepaal, word akkurate kapasiteits- en effektiwiteitsmodelle vir gestruktureerde plaatmetaalpakking benodig. Die hoof doelwit van hierdie studie was om 'n akkurate model te ontwikkel vir die massa-oordragseffektiwiteit van die plaat metaal pakking Flexipac 350Y deur gebruik te maak van verskillende eksperimentele- en modelleringstegnieke. Effektiwiteit is egter direk gekoppel aan hidroliese kapasiteit. Bestaande modelle in die literatuur is eers getoets om te bepaal of hulle die hidroliese kapasitiet van Flexipac 350Y akkuraat kan voorspel. Vir die doel is vloeistofterughou en drukval gemeet deur gebruik te maak van die sisteme lug/water en lug/swaar parafien. Alle eksperimente is in loodsaanlegskaal 200mm ID glaskolomme uitgevoer. Meeste van die modelle was relatief akkuraat in hulle berekening van die ladingspunt en die drukval vir die lug/water toets sisteem, maar was konsertief in voorspellings van die groothede vir die lug/swaar parafien sisteem. Effektiwiteit en drukval was gemeet deur gebruik te maak van die binêre toetssisteem chlorobenseen/etielbenseen onder totale terugvloei kondisies in 'n 200mm ID glaskolom. Daar is 'n groot verskil in die effektiwiteitsvoorspelling deur die verskillende modelle. Vervolgens is eksperimente ontwerp en uitgevoer om die dampfase massaoordragskoeffisiënt en die effektiewe oppervlakarea vir Flexipac 350Y onafhanklik te meet en te korreleer. Die dampfase massaoordragskoeffisient is gemeet en gekorreleer deur naftaleen te sublimeer vanaf spesiaal vervaardigde 350Y gestruktureerde pakking van metaalgaas. Die gebruik van numeriese vloeimeganika (CFD) om die dampfase massaoordragskoeffisient te bereken word gedemonstreer. Die effektiewe oppervlakarea vir dampfase massaoordrag is bepaal deur van 'n chemiese metode gebruik te maak. Die spesifieke absorpsietempo van CO2 in monoetanolamien (MEA) met n-propanol as oplosmiddel is gemeet in a benatte wand kolom en gebruik om die effektiewe oppervlakarea van Flexipac 350Y te bepaal op loodsaanlegskaal (200mm ID). Die effektiwiteit van Flexipac 350Y kon met 'n akkuraatheid van binne 9%gemodelleer word deur vloeistoffaseweerstand te ignoreer en van die korrelasies gebruik te maak wat in hierdie studie ontwikkel is. Die effektiwiteit en kapasiteit van die nuwe generasie hoë kapasiteit pakking Flexipac 350Y HC is ook gemeet en vergelyk met die normale kapasiteit pakking Flexipac 350Y. 'n Verhoging in kapsiteit van 20% is gemeet vir die HC pakking in vergelyking met die normale kapasiteit pakking vir die lug/water sisteem en 'n 4% verhoging in kapasiteit vir die lug/swaar parafien sisteem. Die verhoging in kapasiteit het gevarieër tussen 8% en 14% in die binêre totale terugvloei distillasie toetse en was afhanklik van die kolom druk. Die verhoging in kapasiteit was ten koste van 'n verlaging in effektiwiteit van ongeveer 3% onderkant die ladingspunt.

Alias, Hajar. "Engineered nanofluids for heat transfer process intensification." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2006. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4071/.
Full textAbstract:
Heat transfer equipment is one of the main unit operations in many industrial processes such as heating, cooling, transportation and power generation. Thus, convective heat transfer plays a major role in the heat equipment. In the past years, liquids such as water, oil and ethylene glycol had been used as the heat transfer fluids. These fluids have a major drawback since they possess low thermal conductivity. Thus innovation in developing advanced heat transfer fluids is needed in many industrial applications so that more energy efficient and compact systems can be achieved. This is the main impetus of this work. A nanofluid is a liquid suspension that consists of nano-sized solid particles. In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and titanium dioxide (Ti02 ) were utilized in formulating nanofluids. The shape and morphology of these nanoparticles make it a challenge in producing long term stable nanofluids. CNT nanofluids were produced using sonication and higher shear mixing, while the Ti02 nanofluids were produced by using the beads mill. The CNT nanofluids dispersion stability was enhanced by the aid of gum arabic surfactant and the Ti02 was stabilized by means of electrostatic stabilization mechanism at pH - 11.0. The nanofluids were characterised using electron microscopy and size analyzer. The multi-wall CNTs have a diameter of < lOnm and length up to micron size, thus the aspect ratio is huge. The primary particles of Ti02 have an average diameter of 30-40 nm. The heat transfer study involves several measurements and analysis: i) the thermal conductivity measurements, ii) viscosity analysis and iii) convective heat transfer measurements. A significant enhancement was observed for thermal conductivity of CNTs nano fluids, where nanoparticles concentration of 0.25 wt %, 25% enhancement was observed. On the other hand, for concentration of 0.2 wt% of TiO2 nanofluids, a maximum of 3.2% enhancement was observed, both measurements were conducted at 25°C. The viscosity of CNT and Ti02 nanofluids showed shear thinning behaviour. The viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, and decreases with increasing temperature. The viscosity of CNTs nanofluids was much greater than that of Ti02 nanofluids. At shear rate greater than 150 s the Ti02 nanofluids behaved like Newtonian fluids and the viscosity approached the viscosity values of water. The heat transfer behaviour of nanofluids was investigated for various experimental conditions such as flow conditions (Reynolds Number), nanoparticle concentration, pH, and particle size. For flow in 45 mm diameter pipe, the heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing axial direction from the entrance, and increasing Reynolds Number. A significant enhancement for heat transfer coefficient was observed for CNT nanofluids. At Re = 800, a maximum of 350% enhancement of heat transfer coefficient was observed for 0.5wt % of CNTs. As the concentration increases, the maximum enhancement occurred at increasing axial direction along the pipe. On the other hand, the maximum enhancement (-16%), was observed at x/D = 150 for the Ti02 nanofluids. Moreover, the heat transfer coefficient of Ti02 increases with decreasing particle size for Reynolds Number > 2000. Apart from the thermal conductivity of nanoparticles, several other possible mechanisms are believed to be operating towards the enhancement of heat transfer coefficient. These include changes in the boundary layer thickness, particle migration and re-arrangement, thermal conduction increase due to shear and aspect ratio of nanoparticles.

Full textAbstract:
The question of the management of the transfer process and transfer pricing is an important one for managers and academics alike (Colbert and Spicer, 1995). Yet, in general, our current knowledge on several aspects of transfer pricing process is limited. One question which arises in relation to transfer pricing in service organizations is whether there is an association between the transfer price and the internal customer's perception of value emanating from the transaction. An inappropriate transfer pricing system can give rise to a number of adverse effects which can include among other things, maldistribution of economic resources, negative motivation for reducing costs (Lesser, 1987), lack of goal congruence and inequitable performance evaluation (Cravens and Shearon, 1997). The gap in the literature on transfer pricing in the service sector applies equally in the Australian setting. This is despite the significant and increasing contribution of the service sector to both GDP and employment. The objective of this research is to explore the domestic transfer pricing practices of service organisations in Australia with the emphasis placed on examining whether, in internal transactions, the domestic transfer price had any influence on the value perceived by the internal buyer. Because the extant transfer pricing theories cannot explain the value perceived by the internal customer in internal exchange of goods and services, an exploratory research methodology is adopted and no assumptions are made about the relationship. PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com 3 Data were gathered from survey responses from eighty service organisations and thirteen face-to-face interviews. Survey data were sought at two levels. Questions of a strategic nature were directed to corporate management while questions pertinent to transfer pricing and value were sought from the divisional management who are actually involved in such transfers. Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that cost-based transfer pricing was the most preferred method, and in internal transactions, and responsiveness of the internal supplier was the key factor for internal buyers. The research found that service organisations are external customer oriented and internal customer issues are secondary. The research results also demonstrate that no significant association exists between transfer pricing and internal customer perceived value. The current research contributes to the transfer pricing literature by providing insights to locus of transfer pricing decisions, transfer pricing methods employed by service organizations in Australia, objectives of transfer pricing systems, conflicts arising during from the transfer pricing process and the role of transfer prices on the value perceived by internal customers. As a research topic, this study is pioneering as it integrates for the first time, the constructs of transfer price and value in internal transactions. Another unique feature of this research is that it was carried out in another important but under-researched context of service organisations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aimed to describe the conditions under which transfer of training would occur and the processes that are involved in the transfer of training to the workplace. Two studies were conducted that assessed the individual, situational, and training design factors that impacted on the transfer of training to the workplace. Study 1 examined the influence of individual and situational factors on the achievement of trainees’ transfer goals. Trainees’ goals for transfer and their commitment to those transfer goals were found to act as mediators of the influence of self-efficacy, motivation, and situational constraints on transfer goal achievement. This result supported previous research that has shown that the impact of personal and situational factors on performance is mediated by the personal goal level and level of goal commitment (Wofford, Goodwin & Premack, 1992). Study 2 was based on a model of the determinants of training transfer proposed by Thayer and Teachout (1995). The model was modified to focus on the determinants of trainees’ transfer implementation intentions and implementation activities. Climate for transfer was assessed prior to training commencing and was found to influence pre-training levels of self-efficacy. However, positive and negative affect also influenced pre-training levels of both self-efficacy and motivation, and the two climate for transfer factors (Positive and Negative Work Climate) were found to influence positive and negative affectivity, respectively. It was concluded that climate for transfer does impact direct and indirectly on pre-training levels of self-efficacy and motivation. A second structural model found that pre-training self-efficacy is a strong determinant of the learning that occurs during training, and the level of post-training self-efficacy. Post-training self-efficacy is a strong determinant of transfer implementation intentions, which in turn were a strong determinant of implementation activities. Implementation activities were positively related to transfer success. Separate structural models were developed to assess the impact of in-training transfer enhancing activities on learning, post-training self-efficacy, transfer implementation intentions, and implementation activities. Self-control cues, relapse prevention activities, and goal setting (when assessed separately) were found to positively influence post-training self-efficacy and implementation intentions. Relapse prevention activities and goal setting (when assessed separately) were also found to positively influence implementation activities. The results strongly supported the modified model of training transfer that was presented. It was also concluded that situational factors do exert an indirect influence on the transfer process, apart from simply influencing what trainees are able to do after training has completed (Mathieu & Martineau, 1997, Quiñones, 1997).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains an analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer problems in the resin transfer moulding (RTM) process for manufacturing of polymer based fibre composites and it consists of five separate papers. The permeability of unidirectional fabrics, that are often used in advanced composites, is considered in Paper A and a theory for the permeability dependence on the micro geometry is developed. The theory is based on lubrication theory for narrow gaps which is motivated by the fact that most of the flow resistance comes from a small region where the fibres are closest to each other. Despite this limitation the results agree excellently with numerical results. 'Me best performance of the theory is expected at high fibre volume fractions (Vf) but the dependence on Vf is surprisingly good even at as low values as 0.3. Although the theory is formulated for an idealised geometry it can be used to predict the variation of the anisotropic permeability tensor with fibre volume fraction in real fabrics after fitting of three model parameters. Paper B is a study of the influence from different process parameters on the void content in the laminate. The void content is shown to be reduced strongly by an applied vacuum during mould filling. The main mechanism for void formation appears to be mechanical entrapment at the flow front. The voids are convected by the flow so that their concentration is highest close to the flow front. Microscopy investigation of the bubbles show that they are of two basic types, large spherical bubbles in the interstices between fibre bundles and smaller cylindrical bubbles inside the fibre bundles. The positive influence of vacuum compared to no vacuum can be explained as a combined effect of an increased mobility due to larger volume changes during mould filling and compression by the increased pressure during cure. In Paper C a comparison is made between the mould filling times for different injection strategies. The possible alternatives for a normal laminate are point injection, edge injection and peripheral injection. Theoretical results are derived that can be used to estimate the mould filling time with the different alternatives. In addition, fundamental theoretical results are derived from the governing equations showing the scaling of the mould filling time with the process parameters. This analysis also shows that the flow front motion during mould filling is only a function of the anisotropy of the reinforcement and the location of the gates. Paper D presents an analysis of the non-uniform flow at the flow front during impregnation of a stack of fabrics consisting of layers with different flow resistance. A detailed derivation of the theory and an analytical solution to the equations are presented in an addendum to Paper D. The theoretical model is compared with experimental results and is found to describe the experiment qualitatively well. The resulting permeability of a stack of different fabrics is derived from the basic equations and is found to be a weighted average of the permeability in the individual layers. This result is compared with experiments with different stacking sequences and it is found that the stacking sequence has no influence on the resulting permeability as expected from the theory. Experimental results in excellent agreement with Darcy's law are also presented for the case with radial flow and with unidirectional flow. Finally, Paper E is a theoretical study of the curing behaviour of thick laminates. A general solution independent of the cure kinetic model is derived. The solution is valid for low exothermal peak temperatures and it is characterised by two dimensionless numbers. The first parameter is the ratio between the time scales for the reaction and for heat conduction, the second parameter is the ratio between the processing temperature and the adiabatic temperature rise. The general solution is specialised to a second order autocatalytic cure model so that the results can be compared to numerical results. The agreement between the numerical and the analytical solution is excellent for small exothermal peak temperatures, as expected. The particular model used also serves as an example of the additional dimensionless parameters that are introduced by a specific kinetic model.Godkänd; 1993; 20070426 (ysko)

As a hydrophilic biopolymer, a DNA molecule is surrounded by water molecules in aqueous solution. The charge hopping mechanism indicates the competition between radical cation quenching by water molecules and migration along DNA partially determines the distance and efficiency of charge transport in DNA. Lipid can effectively bind DNA to induce hydrophobic environment around the DNA helix and reduce the water contact with bases in the DNA duplex. Therefore, the effect of water molecules on charge transport can be studied by comparison between nature DNA and DNA-lipid complexes. We synthesized several cationic lipids with various lengths of dialkyl chain (2, 8, 18) and spermine (Sp4+) binding core in this research, which posses strong DNA binding affinity due to their multi-charged spermine head-groups. Among those, C8GlySp4+ and C2GlySp4+ can form stable complex with DNA oligomer in aqueous solution, characterized by time dependent UV and CD spectrometry. C2GlySp4+ showed the similar inhibition on oxidative damage in GG steps as spermine while C8GlySp4+ demonstrated much more significant prohibitive effect at the same concentration. Since all the lipids bear the same binding core, they should afford the similar binding affinity towards DNA duplexes. we attributed the observation to the longer length of dialkyl group in C8GlySp4+, which can more effectively shield the DNA duplex from the water molecules than either spermine or C2GlySp4+. A kinetic model based on phonon-assist polaron hopping mechanism was proposed to rationalize the experimental results. The finding may give insight on the protection of DNA oxidative damage by reducing the access of the water molecule to DNA duplex and may have potential impact on the application of DNA as conducting biopolymer and protection of DNA in biological system.

The industry-wide need for a robust method of transferring the manufacturing of a component from one location to another is addressed in this thesis. Work transfer activities can be initiated due to a number of business reasons. These reasons include: reducing general operating costs, increasing asset utilization, and reducing overhead costs by leveraging manufacturing synergies. However, in order to fully realize the benefits of a work transfer activity, a robust work transfer process is needed to mitigate the risks associated with work transfer activities. In this thesis, the work transfer process is studied with specific concentration on the implementation phase of the work transfer. The overall objective is to propose and document a robust work transfer implementation process that improves the reliability with which work transfers are executed. The current work transfer process at The Boeing Company, in addition to the strategic and business decisions that initiate work transfers and the selection of manufacturing processes and technologies, serve as the starting point of the work and associated considerations. In developing this recommended work transfer process, robustness was addressed as the risks associated with the implementation of work transfer activities and subsequent risk mitigation activities were identified, in cooperation with key stakeholders, via a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). These risk mitigation activities were then integrated into the current work transfer process, and the resulting overall process was documented. This recommended process was then assessed by comparing it with the current work transfer process on the basis of time and cost. The results of this assessment
indicate that the recommended work transfer is an improvement over the current work transfer process. The recommended process is presented generically, and as such is flexible due to its adaptability to individual situations. When implementing the recommended work transfer process, it is suggested that the responsibility for and authority of the work transfer process be assigned to an individual to ensure adherence to and adoption of the process. System-level interactions of factors within a manufacturing system are also investigated and presented in this thesis. The results of this investigation illustrate the need to consider the potential long-term system-level results when making business decisions. Finally, the issue of manufacturing flexibility is discussed, and the consideration of manufacturing mobility during the design of manufacturing processes is suggested.

This study involved a qualitative comparative analysis of government laboratory technology transfer, examining both the process and impact of successful cases before and after passage of technology transfer legislation. The legislation, passed in the mid- and late-1980s, was intended to encourage cooperative research for commercialization purposes.
The study examined a variety of factors related to government laboratory technology transfer, including the researchers' roles, mechanisms used, partners, and economic impact.
Certain aspects of the researchers' roles became more positive toward technology transfer. They contributed to technology marketing by producing more laboratory prototypes and samples in the post-legislation period. On the other hand, they retreated from broad-based technology marketing in the sense that their roles as technology champions became centered around their relationships with their CRADA partners. There was an undercurrent of caution by the laboratory researchers towards technology transfer in both the pre-legislation and post-legislation periods, and neither time period contained many examples of market analysis or technology evaluation work by the laboratories. Also, there was tension between the research role and technology transfer role, possibly indicating a lack of trust in that relationship.
The laboratories primarily used CRADAs and licenses to transfer technologies, and used other mechanisms to a lesser degree. There was even less variety in mechanisms in the post-legislation period. The researchers' comments about license royalty-sharing became stronger in the post-legislation period, indicating that incentive is working. Yet, the data suggested new administrative needs such as for royalty tracking statements and dispute mechanisms.
The post-legislation period involved more small-firm partners and more user-initiated contacts, indicating more market pull. The post-legislation period also exhibited more "institutionalized" university relationships. State and local governments were not prominent among the users in either time period.
The technology transfer legislation had positive effects in terms of economic impact and outcomes. The following indicators increased in the post-legislation period: new products (generated as a result of technology transfer), sales revenues, new companies, new jobs, and technology transfer contributions to dual use. Technology transfer and commercialization failures decreased and the time to market decreased.
The assessment revealed additional findings related to increased international activity, private sector problems, and other factors contributing to technology transfer.
An extensive literature review provided background for the issues and problems in evaluating technology transfer. This review included an inventory of technology transfer measurement activities to-date, including models from non-government technology transfer communities. The study experience, itself, further uncovered some insights to technology transfer metrics at a time when the experience base in this area is still prematurePh. D.

Method: The aim is to examine the roles of network in the knowledge transfer process by using theories as a foundation and then relating literatures with empirical data. An abductive approach and qualitative case study approach would be conducted.
Theory: The theoretical framework of reference consists of knowledge transfer, network and knowledge transfer by network. The conceptual models which are developed by the authors will be described at the end of chapter 3.Empirical method: Secondary data such as companies‘ information from website and annual report are used for data collection. Since the comparison could be made, this study is to perform interviews with two international companies which are HMS Industrial Networks AB and Synovate Limited. The interviewees are the persons who participated in the communication with overseas people.Analysis: The analysis part consists of two sections. The first section is a within-case analysis of HMS Industrial Networks AB and Synovate Limited while the second section is a cross-case analysis of both companies.
Conclusion: The major finding after doing this thesis is that all main networks including home country network, host country network and subsidiaries network are crucial factors in knowledge transfer process. Home country network acts as an ‗Advisor‘ to get assistance and guidance for gaining knowledge. Host country network acts as a ‗Punching Tool‘ which helps company to enter into an unfamiliar and difficult foreign market due to language and culture barrier. Subsidiaries network acts as a ‗Knowledge Booster‘ which help each other about transferring knowledge between host countries to enhance the whole process. It is because business operations are conducted in subsidiaries locally but not in the headquarters.

Full textAbstract:
Recognizing the importance of innovation, we see that entrepreneurship and its supporting ecosystem contributes to increased prosperity in society. We also understand that the entrepreneurial phenomenon increases in efficiency through internationalization. Within the international context, knowledge transfer can be complex and requires people of multicultural background for successful interpretation. Demanding abilities to code and decode the transferred knowledge and integrate it into practices, interactions and learning for successfully creating new knowledge as a result. Our purpose for this research was to emphasize and give clarity of the process from initiatives to internationalization to successfully transferring knowledge. Being master students in an entrepreneurial program and working with related projects in our worklife, we were accustomed to- and possessed necessary background information for the topic. This gave us abilities to contact and form interviews for various science and technology parks (STP). We were motivated to collect data through a qualitative study, interviewing STPs with practical insight measuring selected theories presented in our literature review. Our findings correlate the selected theories, and give impressions that networking platforms provided by government, universities and international organizations contribute significantly in connecting STPs to international players. We also record that the government’s position is crucial in providing infrastructure and financial support to STPs. Further the challenge of knowledge transfer is positively related to complementary interest and trust, which is better resolved through awareness of multicultural networks. Further research can be recommended to investigate the objectives of institutions in an entrepreneurial ecosystem, between and in relation to the tenants. For direct understanding of international activities, we would also like to propose a research measuring science and technology parks’ engagement for internationalization and the financial results of tenants within the same time period.

Full textAbstract:
The heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to another or between fluid and the environment. Over the last few decades, the role of heat exchangers has increased in the process of heat recovery and introduction of new energy sources. Surface roughness of heat exchanger wall plays a vital role in the efficiency of heat transfer. Therefore, significance of surface roughness is examined by many researchers applying different shapes of roughness. Roughness is the variation in the height of a surface. It could be either a part of the geometry or due to deposition of undesired materials (which decreases the thermal function of the heat exchanger, increases the pressure drop and could cause corrosion). Dimensionless heat transfer correlations such as Nusselt number provides a clear view about the effect of heat transfer by surface roughness. This thesis combines different Nusselt correlations for distinct shapes of surface roughness and investigates the suitability of them on a test experiment by comparing the values gotten. From this investigation it was clear that the value of Nunner correlation delivers the most reasonable results for a fouled layer formed by means of crystallization. Also the Nusselt correlation by Saini et al. could be more suitable for artificial surface roughness than for a fouled surfaceLämmönvaihdin on laite, joka siirtää lämpöä fluidista toiseen tai fluidin ja ympäristön välillä. Viimeisimpien vuosikymmenten aikana lämmönvaihtimien rooli on kasvanut lämmön talteenottoprosesseissa ja uusien energialähteiden käyttöönotossa. Lämmönvaihtimien pinnankarheudella, jolla tarkoitetaan seinämän pintakuvion korkeuden muutosta verrattuna tasaiseen pintaan, on merkittävä rooli lämmönvaihtimen tehokkuudessa. Pinnankarheuden vaikutusta lämmönsiirtoon onkin tarkasteltu useissa tutkimuksissa. Pinnankarheus voi olla osa lämmönvaihdinrakennetta tai johtua ei haluttujen materiaalien kerrostumisesta pinnalle. Tällöin puhutaan likaantumisesta, joka heikentää lämmönvaihtimen lämmönsiirtoa, lisää painehäviötä ja voi aiheuttaa korroosiota. Dimensiottomat korrelaatiot, kuten Nusseltin luku antavat tietoa pinnankarheuden aiheuttamasta vaikutuksen lämmönsiirtoon. Tässä kandidaatintyössä on tarkasteltu kirjallisuudessa esitettyjä Nusseltin luvun korrelaatioita ja niiden soveltuvuutta eri pinnankarheuden muotoihin sekä tutkittu niiden soveltuvuutta todellisen lämmönvaihtimen tapauksessa. Tästä tutkimuksessa tarkastelluista korrelaatioista Nunnerin korrelaatio soveltui parhaiten likaantuneen lämmönvaihtimen lämmönsiirron tarkasteluun. Sainin ym. korrelaatio arvioitiin soveltuvan paremmin keinotekoisen pinnankarheuden kuin likaantuneen pinnan lämmönsiirron tarkasteluun

Full textAbstract:
A consecutive number of studies on the adoption trend of logistics technology since 1988 revealed that logistics organizations are not in the frontier when it comes to adopting new technology and this delayed adoption creates an information gap. In the advent of supply chain management and the strategic position of logistics, the need for accurate and timely information to accompany the logistics executives became more important than ever before. Given the integrative nature of logistics technology, failure to implement the technology successfully could result in writing off major investments in developing and implementing the technology or even in abandoning the strategic initiatives underpinned by these innovations. Consequently, the need to employ effective strategies and models to cope with these uncertainties is rather crucial. This thesis addresses the aspect of uncertainty in implementation success by process and factor research models. Process research approach focuses on the sequence of events in the technology transfer process that occurs over time. It explains the story that explains the degree of association between these sequences and implementation success. Through content analysis, this research gathers, extracts, and categorizes process data of actual stories of logistics technology adoption and implementations in organizations that are published in literature. The extracted event sequences are then analyzed using optimal matching from natural science and grouped using cluster analysis. Four patterns were revealed that organizations follow to transfer logistics technology namely, formal minimalist, mutual adaptation, development concerned, and organizational roles dispenser. Factors that contribute to successful implementation in each pattern were defined as the crucial and necessary events that characterized and differentiated each pattern from others. The factor approach identifies the potential predictors of successful technology implementation and tests empirical association between predictors and outcomes. This research develops a logistics technology success model. In developing the model, various streams of research were investigated including logistics, information systems, and organizational psychology. The model is tested using a questionnaire survey study. The data were collected from Australian companies which have recently adopted and implemented logistics technology. The results of a partial least squares structured equation modeling provide strong support for the model constructs and valuable insights to logistics/supply chain managers. The last study reports a convergent triangulation study using multiple case study of three Australian companies which have implemented logistics technology. A within and a cross case analysis of the three cases provide cross validation for the results of the other two studies. The results provided high predictive validity for the two models. Furthermore, the case study approach was so beneficial in explaining and contextualizing the linkages of the factor-based model and in confirming the importance of the crucial events in the process-based model. The thesis concludes with a research and managerial implications chapter which is devoted for logistics/supply chain managers and researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Aluminum-magnesium alloys, used in sheet form, provide substantial strengthening with good ductility as a result of cold work, in addition to excellent corrosion resistance and weldability. In this thesis, the microstructures of Al-Mg alloy strips formed on a small scale simulator of a single belt caster was investigated. Heat transfer characteristics heat fluxes and heat transfer coefficients were also evaluated using thermocouple inserts and the IHCP (Inverse Heat Conduction Problem) method to deduce these values. This single belt casting is being developed as a new promising technology high productivity, in which liquid metal is cast from a dispenser system onto a moving belt that is cooled from below with water jets. In this process, the rate of heat transfer from the solidifying strip to the belt is one of the most important factors because the thermal history of the strip has a great influence on strip quality.By measuring two temperature points under the moving substrate of different thermophysical properties, the values of heat flux and heat transfer coefficient were evaluated and microstructures were characterized quantitatively using the IHCP technique. With different substrate chemistry, correlations among liquid metal superheat, substrate velocity, substrate roughness, maximum heat flux, and grain size distributions were investigated.

Commercial technology transfer for biopharmaceuticals is the process of transferring process and product knowledge between process development and manufacturing organizations to achieve product realization. This process often occurs before phase 3 of clinical trials, where speed and agility are critical for preventing delays in clinical programs and ensuring commercial site readiness ahead of regulatory approval. As the market is evolving with new modalities and subsequent operational challenges, there is a heightened need to optimize the technology transfer process to sustain growth of products entering an organization's pipeline. This graduate research project seeks to understand the business process workflow of commercial tech transfer and characterize its dynamics using discrete event simulation. Through this quantitative technique of business process modeling, knowledge regarding process bottlenecks and system constraints were revealed, leading to the identification of operational efficiencies which suggest a potential 19.5% reduction in lead times and 31.3% increase in organizational capacity. Furthermore, this work provides a platform for predicting program timelines and resource needs based on preliminary transfer requirements. These predictions can be updated in a Bayesian fashion for real-time project scheduling and capacity planning.

Full textAbstract:
This project evaluated the metal transfer behaviour of the variable polarity (VP) GMAW process. Analysis was performed using high speed video that was synchronised with high speed data acquisition. Melting rate measurements were found to be very dependent on current waveform, polarity, and droplet size, and metal transfer if it occurred, for each waveform period. The transient conditions of current waveform and metal transfer produced rapid changes in arc behaviour which influenced the melting at the electrode tip and growing droplet. The concentrated melting theory was developed to explain the significant increase in electrode extension burnoff and droplet growth rate that occurred at short EN time as a function of current, and during EP peak pulse when the pre-pulse droplet volume was small. The highest electrode extension burnoff and droplet growth rate occurred when the arc was permitted to climb over the solid electrode tip producing rapid concentrated melting. Likewise, large molten droplets were found to promote a negative electrode extension burnoff and a decreased droplet growth rate. The arc rooted on large droplets providing additional heating but limited electrode melting. The droplet burnoff rate (DBR) method was developed and found to yield good experimental measurements for the arc and resistive heating coefficients used in a 2nd order melting rate equation developed for a complex waveform process, like VP-GMAW. For the EN period, the EN time affected the melting rate as a function of EN current. The greater melting rate that occurred at low EN time was measured by the changes in the resistive heating coefficient. Concentrated arc melting of the electrode extension at low EN time caused the slope of the burnoff diagram to increase, which represented the resistive heating coefficient. The melting rate of the EP pulse was related to the pre-pulse droplet volume. Large pre-pulse droplets decreased the arc heating coefficient, which could be negative, which meant the electrode extension was increasing and the arc length was decreasing in that waveform period. VP-GMAW power supplies offered stable operation for welding sheet structures on both carbon steel and stainless steel. Higher travel speeds were required as the %EN of the waveform increased to produce acceptable constant deposit area fusion. Welding speeds were up to 300% higher with VP-GMAW compared to the GMAW-P process when welding lap joints on 1.8 mm thick material with a 1.8 mm gap. VP-GMAW heat input was up to 47% less than GMAW-P for the same melting rate.

Although our results reveal great diversity of using these activities, they still show that they are realistic and appropriately mirror the industrial status within a software handover context.© 2011 IEEE.

Full textAbstract:
Of the three primary atmospheric oxidants, hydroxyl radical, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), only the latter is preserved in ice cores. To make quantitative use of the ice core archive, however, requires a detailed understanding of the physical processes that relate atmospheric concentrations to those in the snow, firn and thence ice. The transfer processes for H₂O₂ were investigated using field, laboratory, and computer modeling studies. Empirically and physically based numerical algorithms were developed to simulate the atmosphere-to-snow-to-firn transfer processes and these models coupled to a snow pack accumulation model. The models, tested using field data from Summit, Greenland and South Pole, indicate that H₂O₂ is reversibly deposited to the snow surface, with subsequent uptake and release controlled by advection of air containing H₂O₂ through the top meters of the snow pack and temperature-driven diffusion within individual snow grains. This physically based model was successfully used to invert year-round surface snow concentrations to an estimate of atmospheric H₂O₂ at South Pole. Field data and model results clarify the importance of accumulation timing and seasonality in determining the H₂O₂ record preserved in the snow pack. A statistical analysis of recent accumulation patterns at South Pole indicates that spatial variability in accumulation has a strong influence on chemical concentrations preserved in the snow pack.

Full textAbstract:
Central to this thesis is the examination of cross border knowledge transfer mechanisms in multinational banks from emerging and advanced economies. Applying the Knowledge Based View, the Network theory, and Springboard perspective, this study advocates that exploiting and optimising knowledge synergies between subsidiaries located in different countries through knowledge transfer mechanisms is what is facilitating knowledge transfer for both multinational banks from emerging and advanced economies. By identifying and operationalizing knowledge transfer mechanisms in multinational banks, the research proves that emerging economy multinational firms do benefit from cross border knowledge mobility, and that knowledge transfer mechanisms exist in services multinational enterprises. Secondments and Communities of Practice have been identified as knowledge transfer mechanisms for an emerging economy multinational bank, while Global Job Postings and The Commercial Banking Corporate School have been identified as knowledge transfer mechanisms for an advanced economy multinational bank. The work suggest that the Network theory applies more to advanced economy multinational banks; that they do benefit more from their multinational network than emerging economy multinational banks.

The run-time reconfiguration of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) opens new
avenues to hardware reuse. Through the use of process migration between hardware and
software, an FPGA provides a parallel execution cache. Busy processes can be migrated into
hardware-based, parallel processors, and idle processes can be migrated out increasing the
utilization of the hardware. The application of hardware/software process migration to the
acceleration of Register Transfer Level (RTL) circuit simulation is developed and analyzed.
RTL code can exhibit a form of locality of reference such that executing processes tend to be
executed again. This property is termed executive temporal locality, and it can be exploited by
migration systems to accelerate RTL simulation.
In this dissertation, process migration is first formally modeled using Finite State Machines
(FSMs). Upon FSMs are built programs, processes, migration realms, and the migration
of process state within a realm. From this model, a taxonomy of migration realms is
developed. Second, process migration is applied to the RTL simulation of digital circuits. The
canonical form of an RTL process is defined, and transformations of HDL code are justified
and demonstrated. These transformations allow a simulator to identify basic active units within
the simulation and combine them to balance the load across a set of processors. Through the
use of input monitors, executive locality of reference is identified and demonstrated on a set
of six RTL designs. Finally, the implementation of a migration system is described which
utilizes Virtual Machines (VMs) and Real Machines (RMs) in existing FPGAs. Empirical and
algorithmic models are developed from the data collected from the implementation to evaluate
the effect of optimizations and migration algorithms.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This study focused on ink transfer media for the lithographic print process. Rubber blanket is the offset media for ink transfer from plate to substrate. Performance of the rubber blanket is important for successful image reproduction. Thus, this ', project intended to develop a blanket for the lithographic print process that has good sheet release, good ink release, good dot reproduction, good solid reproduction (no pin-holing) and low swelling. The blanket should also maintain its compressibility and be capable of running metallic inks, UV inks· and conventional inks with no significant detrimental effect to the printing surface. Various surface layer compounds for a lithographic print blanket were formulated, with the aid of Minitab, and blankets were made according to the designed formulations. Evaluation work on the blankets for hardness, solvent resistance, critical surface tension, ink transfer, durability and quality of print was then carried out. Consequently, correlations of these characteristics with each blanket material component were studied. It was found that the hardness and the durability of the blanket were influenced by the content of the crosslinking agent and the reinforcing agent within the rubber compound. The solvent resistance and the ink transfer of a 'blanket were influenced by the content of nitrile within the rubber compound. The critical surface tension could be controlled by the change of speed of compound drying and the ingredients or by surface treatment. Following the studies carried, a blanket having significantly improved performance properties was developed. Also, interactions between blanket wash solvents and surface layer' rubber of blanket were studied with the help of FT-IR and GC-MS. It was found that solvent penetration into the surface rubber of a blanket, upon prolonged contact, was the main cause for blanket swell. Plasticisers were easily extracted from the surface rubber of a blanket by the blanket wash solvent, which resulted in a c:1taD&e I()i performance.

Full textAbstract:
Investigations have been conducted into the transfer of ink from the plate to the substrate in flexographic printing. Four experimental trials have been conducted at full press scale in order to investigate process parameters including substrate type and the effect of over printing previously printed ink. In order that the shape of printed dots could be analysed methods for the determination of plate dot circularity and printed dot circularity were developed. Accurate measurement of the printing plates used in the experimental investigations has revealed significant differences in nominally identical patches within the same plate. Dot size and geometry was found to be permanently altered through the application of pressure in the plate/anilox nip. The volume of ink supplied to the plate is found to have the largest effect on ink transfer to the substrate. Increases in anilox volume and engagement between plate and substrate are found to increase ink spreading. Decreasing viscosity reduces ink transfer to the plate from the anilox which in tum results in lower ink spreading for individual dots. Joined dots however show an increase in ink spreading due to increased entrapment of ink at the nip entrance. The shape of printed dots is found to be affected by the volume of ink transfer and by engagement. Larger dot volumes increase dot circularity and larger engagements reduce dot circularity. The effect of under printed ink on ink transfer of subsequently printed ink is dependent on the coverage of under printed ink and the substrate being printed. For non porous substrate the under printed ink acts as a barrier to ink spreading. On porous substrate the density of samples is increased due to the under print filling surface pores increasing ink spreading for subsequently printed ink. The effect of under print is visible for all substrates and over print coverage's.

Full textAbstract:
Resin transfer molding (RTM) has great potential to become an efficient and economical process for fabricating large and complicated automotive composite structures. Low capital investment, excellent mechanical properties, closed mold processing, low pressure equipment, short cycle times and process versatility in component integration and assembly, make RTM very attractive for high volume automotive applications. However, a high class surface finish, required for exterior car body panels, is difficult to achieve with RTM. There are several material and process parameters that severely affect the surface quality of RTM molded components. One of the major contributing factors is the shrinkage related to the curing of thermoset resins. A volumetric shrinkage of 7-10% is common for polyester resins, which breaks the material's contact with the tool, resulting in poor surface finish. Low profile additives (LPA) are added to the polyester resin for shrinkage compensation; however the effects of LPA content on thermal, rheological and morphological properties of polyester resins, as well as surface finish aspects of resulting composites, are not well understood.In this research, the influence of material and processing parameters on the surface finish is characterized through experimental design techniques. Analytical, experimental and numerical methods are employed to optimize processing conditions for class A finish quality and shorter cycle times. Specifically, the effects of LPA content on cure kinetics, cure shrinkage and morphological changes are investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheological and optical microscopic techniques. Models are developed to predict cure shrinkage, LPA expansion, cure kinetics and viscosity variations of the resin. These models are then incorporated in commercial software to predict resin flow, degree-of-cure evolution and pressure variations during cure. Analytical and numerical simulation results are then validated with the experimental data. Processing windows defined for different process parameters based on analytical and numerical analyses are further used in the test matrices designed through the Taguchi method. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analyses are carried out on the surface roughness of test samples molded under varying conditions. The relative influence of the most significant parameters is characterized and empirical models are developed to predict surface roughness. The effect of post-cure shrinkage on the surface roughness of the test samples is also investigated. Levels of the most significant process parameters are then set for a high class surface finish, minimum cost and short cycle times.
The results show that the LPA content had no significant effect on the cure kinetics; however cure shrinkage decreased non-linearly with increasing LPA content. LPA content at 10% was found to be the minimum amount for shrinkage compensation. LPA content (≥10%) resulted in pressure increase and morphological changes during RTM manufacturing. A cure gradient was observed for low pressure injections which had a significant effect on the resin pressure and roughness. LPA was found to be the most influential parameter affecting surface finish. A minimum of 10% LPA was required for class A surface finish. Higher injection pressures and filler content improved surface quality, whereas styrene content, cure rate and temperature gradient had no effect on the surface roughness in the range tested.

Full textAbstract:
Bioelectrocatalytic systems are based on biological entities, such as enzymes, whole cells, parts of cells or tissues, which catalyse electrochemical processes that involve the interaction between chemical change and electrical energy. In all cases, biocatalysis is implemented by enzymes, isolated or residing inside cells or part of cells. Electron transfer (ET) phenomena, within the protein molecules and between biological redox systems and electronics, enable the development of various bioelectrocatalytic systems, which can be used both for fundamental investigations of enzymatic biological processes by electrochemical methods and for applied purposes, such as power generation, bioremediation, chemical synthesis and biosensing. Electrical communication between the biocatalyst’s redox centre and an electrode is essential for the functioning of the system. This can be established using two main mechanisms: indirect ET and direct ET. The efficiency of the ET influences important parameters such as the turnover rate of the biocatalyst, the generated current density and partially the stability of the system, which in their turn determine response time, sensitivity, detection limit and operational stability of biosensing devices or the power densities and current output of biofuel cells, and hence should be carefully considered when designing bioelectrocatalytic systems. This thesis focuses on approaches that facilitate ET in bioelectrocatalytic systems based on indirect and direct ET mechanisms. Both fundamental aspects of ET in bioelectrocatalytic systems and applications of such systems for biosensing and power generation are considered. First, a new hydrophobic mediator for oxidases – unsubstituted phenothiazine and its improved ET properties in comparison with commonly used mediators are discussed. Application of the mediator in electrochemical biosensors is demonstrated by glucose, lactate and cholesterol sensing. Utilisation of mediated biocatalytic cholesterol oxidation, as the anodic reaction for the construction of a biofuel cell acting as a power supply and an analytical device at the same time, is investigated to deliver a selfpowered biosensor. Also the enhancement of mediated bioelectrocatalysis by employment of microelectrodes as a transducer is examined. The effect of surface roughness on the current response of the microelectrodes under conditions of convergent diffusion is considered. The applicability of the laccase-based system for total phenol analysis of weakly supported water is demonstrated. Finally, a new electrochemical approach derived from collision-based electrochemistry applicable for examination of the ET process of a single enzyme molecule is described. All together, the results presented in this thesis contribute to the solution of the ‘electronic coupling problem’, arising when interfacing biomolecules with electronics and limiting the performance of bioelectrocatalytic systems in specific applications. The developed methods to facilitate ET will hopefully promote future biosensing devices and biofuel cells. I believe the new approach for investigation of ET processes at a single enzyme molecule will complement existing single molecule techniques, giving further insights into enzymatic ET mechanisms at the molecular level and filling the gap between fundamental understanding of biocatalytic processes and their potential for bioenergy production.

Thesis (MComm)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Training represents an expensive investment organisations make in their human resources. For this reason, it is imperative that the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours gained in training be transferred into visible on-the-job performance and results. Unfortunately, despite the increasing amounts of time, effort and money being spent on organisational training, the so-called “transfer problem” remains a threat. Continued low transfer puts a major portion of the training investment at risk, thus justifying practical efforts to leverage greater transfer of training. This study is one such effort. The primary goal of this study was to develop and test an empirical model of the transfer process so as to establish the effects of trainee ability and motivation on this process. More specifically, it aimed to establish the relationships between the constructs trainee ability to learn, motivation to learn, intention to learn, learning and retention, motivation to transfer, intention to transfer and consequently, transfer. A comprehensive study of the transfer of training literature was conducted so as to gain a better understanding of the issues relevant to the purpose of the study. The sample used for this study consisted of 116 trainees attending an assessor training course provided by the Wholesale and Retail Sector Education and Training Authorities (W&RSETA) in South Africa. Five questionnaires were administered during the course of the study, of which two were developed especially for the purposes of the study. The Motivation to Learn Questionnaire consisted of three sections. Section A was designed to give an indication of the demographic data of the trainees. Section B measured Motivation to Learn and Section C measured Intention to Learn by means of a Likert-type scale. The Motivation to Transfer Questionnaire also consisted of three sections, with Section A providing demographic data, Section B measuring Motivation to Transfer, and Section C measuring Intention to Transfer via a Liker-type scale. A Mental Alertness Scale, giving an indication of ability to learn (i.e. general cognitive ability), as well as a pre- and post Knowledge Test, measuring learning and retention, also had to be administered during the study. These measures were distributed to the various training facilitators for administration according to specified instructions at their respective training sessions. The data was subsequently analysed using SPSS. Unfortunately, not all hypotheses could be corroborated in this study, yet useful insights were nonetheless gained. It was discovered that ability to learn significantly affects the amount of learning and retention that occurs during training. Ability to learn was also positively correlated with motivation to learn the training material. Motivation to learn produced significant relationships with three variables, namely intention to learn, intention to transfer, as well as motivation to transfer learning into on-the-job performance. Intention to learn was also found to positively correlate with intention to transfer. Finally, motivation to transfer indicated a significant correlation with intention to transfer. Consequently, conclusions were derived from the results obtained and recommendations for future research made.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Opleiding is ‘n duur belegging wat organisasies in hul menslike hulpbronne maak en daarom is dit uiters belangrik dat die kennis, vaardighede, houdings en gedrag wat tydens opleiding aangeleer word, oorgedra word tot sigbare werksprestasie en resultate. Ongelukkig bly die oordrag van aangeleerde kennis en vaardighede ‘n probleem, ten spyte van die toenemende besteding van tyd, inspanning en fondse aan organisatoriese opleiding. ‘n Groot deel van die belegging in organisatoriese opleiding word op die spel geplaas deur voortdurende lae vlakke van oordrag. Om die rede, regverdig dit praktiese pogings om hoër oordragsvlakke te bewerkstellig. Hierdie studie poog om ‘n bydrae te maak in hierdie verband. Die primêre doel van die studie is om ‘n empiriese model van die oordragsproses te ontwikkel en te toets, en sodoende die effek van leerders se vermoëns en motivering op hierdie proses vas te stel. Meer spesifiek, poog dit om die verband tussen die konstrukte van leervermoë, motivering om te leer, intensie om te leer, leer en retensie, motivering om oor te dra, intensie om oor te dra, en oordrag, vas te stel. ‘n Omvattende literatuurstudie van die oordrag van leer is uitgevoer om sodoende ‘n beter begrip te kry van die konstrukte ter sake. ‘n Steekproef van 116 leerders is in die studie gebruik. Die leerders het ‘n assessoropleidingsprogram bygewoon wat deur die W&R SETA verskaf is. Vyf vraelyste is gedurende die studie toegepas, waarvan twee vir die doeleindes van die studie ontwikkel is. Die motivering-om-te-leer vraelys bestaan uit drie afdelings. Afdeling A verteenwoordig demografiese items, en Afdeling B en Afdeling C meet onderskeidelik motivering om te leer en intensie om te leer met behulp van ‘n 7-punt Likert-tipe skaal. Die oordragmotiveringsvraelys bestaan ook uit drie afdelings, waar Afdeling A weer op demografiese informasie fokus. Afdeling B en C meet onderskeidelik oordragmotivering en oordragintensie met behulp van ‘n 7-punt Likerttipe skaal. ‘n Verstandelikehelderheidsskaal (wat leervermoë gemeet het), sowel as ‘n voor- en na-kennistoets (wat leer en retensie meet) is ook toegepas gedurende die studie. Hierdie vraelyste is aan die verskillende opleiers versprei sodat hulle dit volgens die instruksies in hulle onderskeidelike opleidingssessies kon toepas. Die data is geanaliseer deur die gebruik van die rekenaarpakket SPSS. Al die hipoteses kon nie bevestig word nie, maar nuttige insigte is nogtans ingewin. Resultate toon dat leervermoë ‘n beduidende effek het op die hoeveelheid leer en retensie wat gedurende opleiding plaasvind. Leervermoë het ook ‘n positiewe verband met leermotivering getoon. Leermotivering het beduidende korrelasies met drie veranderlikes getoon, naamlik leerintensie, oordragintensie en oordragmotivering. Leerintensie het ook ‘n positiewe korrelasie met oordragintensie getoon. Laastens is ‘n beduidende korrelasie tussen oordragmotivering en oordragintensie bevind. Gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings vir toekomstige navorsing is gemaak.

Full textAbstract:
Injection molding is one of the most commonly applied processing methods for plastic components. Heat transfer coefficient (HTC), which describes the heat conducting ability of the interface between a polymer and cavity wall, significantly influences the temperature distribution of a polymer and mold during injection molding and thus affects the process and quality of plastic products. This thesis focuses on HTC under diverse processing situations. On the basis of the heat conducting principle, a theoretical model for calculating HTC was presented. Injection mold specially used for measuring and calculating HTC was designed and fabricated. Experimental injection studies under different processing conditions, especially different surface roughness, were performed for acquiring necessary temperature data. The heat quantity across the interface and HTC between a polymer and cavity wall was calculated on the basis of experimental results. The influence of surface roughness on HTC during injection molding was investigated for the first time. The factors influencing the HTC were analyzed on the basis of the factor weight during injection molding. Subsequently FEM (Finite element method) simulations were carried out with observed and preset value of HTC respectively and the relative crystallinity and part density were obtained. In the comparison between results from simulation and experiment, the result calculated with observed HTC shows better agreement with actually measured value, which can verify the reliability and precision of the injection molding simulation with observed HTC. The results of this thesis is beneficial for understanding the heat transfer process comprehensively, predicting temperature distribution, arranging cooling system, reducing cycle time and improving precision of numerical simulationDas Spritzgießen ist eines der am häufigsten angewandten Verarbeitungsverfahren zur Herstellung von Kunststoffkomponenten. Der Wärmedurchgangskoeffizient (WDK), welcher den Wärmeübergang zwischen Kunststoff und Werkzeugwand beschreibt, beeinflusst während des Spritzgießens maßgeblich die Temperaturverteilung im Bauteil und dem Werkzeug und folglich den Prozess und die Qualität der Kunststoffprodukte. Der Inhalt dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem WDK unter verschiedenen Prozessbedingungen. Auf Grundlage des Wärmeleitungsprinzips wurde ein theoretisches Modell für die Berechnung des WDK vorgestellt. Es wurde dazu ein Spritzgießwerkzeug konstruiert und hergestellt, welches Messungen zur späteren Berechnung des WDK ermöglicht. Praktische Spritzgießversuche unter verschiedenen Prozessbedingungen, insbesondere unterschiedlicher Oberflächenrauheit, wurden für die Erfassung der erforderlichen Temperaturdaten durchgeführt. Auf Grundlage der experimentellen Ergebnisse wurde der Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Polymer und der Werkzeugwand berechnet. Der Einfluss der Oberflächenrauhigkeit auf den WDK wurde hierbei zum ersten Mal untersucht. Auf Grundlage des Bauteilgewichtes wurden anschließend die Faktoren, die den WDK beeinflussen, berechnet. Des Weiteren wurden FEM-Simulationen (Finite Element Methode) mit dem gemessenen und dem voreingestellten WDK durchgeführt und daraus der Kristallinitätsgrad und die Bauteildichte gewonnen. Der Vergleich zwischen den realen Ergebnissen und der Simulation zeigt, dass die Berechnungen mit dem gemessenen WDK eine bessere Übereinstimmung mit den realen Werten aufweist, was die Zuverlässigkeit und Präzision der Spritzgusssimulation bestätigt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit tragen zum umfassenden Verständnis des Wärmeübergangs im Spritzgießprozess, zur Vorhersage der Temperaturverteilung, zur Auslegung des Kühlsystems, zur Reduzierung der Zykluszeit und zur Verbesserung der Genauigkeit der numerischen Simulation bei
